I will let her apply the PR herself when she is grown up and makes her decision. At least that's the plan for now.
alfred, it is OK. The first 3 years can be tough especially if this is your first. I know it is very hard to make all these adjustments in our lives and instead of appreciating it and making it easier on the parents, the little ones are all demanding and always insisting on their ways. It was quite traumatic for me too in the beginning. Like most urbanites, I found children very inconvenient. But I really think it is all for the better. With my daughters, I am able to re-live childhood again. See and feel things from her perspective. Dance, shout and make all kinds of funny and silly gestures.
I know you will find it hard to believe. At your old age, you will look back with satisfaction. Like PM Lee Hsien Loong said, kids can be enjoyable. Plus when you have a few of them, an ecosystem developes where they help take care of each other. And seriously, no kid should grow up alone. I have seen many kids from 1-child family. They have a deep sense of loneliness. Some may disagree and said they can always take that one child out for all kinds of activities and interaction with other kids outside. But it it not the same. It is always nice to have a sibling to squable with.
