Housewives

Since Amelie went to international school in Sept., I made some new friends, they are all mothers of the school's students.  They are all housewives as well.  Some husbands have been sent to work in China, some have their own business; that's why all the wives do not work.  One friend is from Malaysia, one is from Taiwan, one is from Japan, one is from Australia (but she's Chinese), and one is from Canada (she is Chinese too).

We always have a coffee in Starbucks/ other cafe before we go to pick up our children.  We chat a lot.  Some came here 2 years ago, some came here in early 2007 (same as me).  All our husbands are busy, and we think  we are hopeless to go back to our own country cos China is such a big market now.  One mom told me today that she wants to go back to Taiwan, (she's so lonely in here, no friends, no relatives) but every friend of her said "NO", I told her the same answer, cos all of us believe we should "stick" with our husbands no matter what!  Lots of man (wife in home town) work here alone, and they'd made some girl-friends in here.  Before we moved to SZ, my E.'s (my hubby) GM asked him to find an apartment not in the same neighbourhood as the other colleagues, just to avoid me to meet them when they're with their "girl-friends"..........Pity?  Well, what can we do?  That's why we followed our husbands to China.

My E said I talked too much (cos sometimes we can talk for 3 hours), but I said we are all lonely wives, cos all husbands are so busy everyday, and no time for us.  Some of them even gave up their career to follow their husbands here!  Will the husbands understand our love to the family?
