You were expecting it to get better?

Of course it is the worst you've ever seen... until next time. The question to be asked is what any reasonable person with children is doing here.

Money , grown kids, boarding schools and bases used to be the accepted excuses. What these iKids say is beyond me, but trading your own and family's health for a 777 rating and a piece of silver seems selfish and cruel to me.

I chose 3, and as mentioned in another thread, on HALF the money we have a lifestyle a 30 year A scaler could not physically afford in HK, my entire family have never been happier or healthier, so really option 3 is the only way to go.
