very true, carang. my favorite memory from childhood also from playing in the park with my dad on th weekend & mommy rubbing my back when i had very bad rash.
i agree that the best in life need not be expensive. but true, too Hunter, we want to provide "the best" to our kids, which a lot of the time, cost quite a bit. but it's "the best" in our point of view, not in the child's. we're lucky to be in HK< when we have coupons for kindergartens fees & free education (i don't know if you qualify, though), and public playrooms & parks & playgrounds that are free.
the economy is bad, I think you're not alone. most of us has to cut down now. but perhaps you can try to find other jobs other than marketing. maybe freelance writing?
