“I have no idea what work culture is like in SG because I’ve never had a job here before,” she added.
SINGAPORE — A Singaporean woman living in the United States recently lost her job. She’s been thinking about moving back to Singapore since she became a mum and asked Reddit users on Sunday whether they would choose Singapore or the US to raise a child.
“My life in the US is too quiet as I have no friends and only interact with my husband for a few hours each day, and it’s badly affecting my mental health. Healthcare and childcare will likely be cheaper in SG than in the US,” she wrote, adding that since they live in a small town, she had experienced racist encounters, which she does not want for her child.
She added, “I have no idea what work culture is like in SG because I’ve never had a job here before. I don’t even know how well my husband will adapt or if he can find a job here .” Another Reddit user wrote, “For me, I will go with the option that creates the least unhappiness between of you for now. If the first option doesn’t work, it is easier to take the second option.”
