Hey Jasmine, as a best friend of mine, we are very familiar with each other already. However since you have left Australia and returned to China to build your life there, we haven’t been able to see each other that often. And I have missed so much of your beautiful girl Charisse’ growth milestones. Now for me and the audiences of Healthy Mum and Bub, please tell us…
1. A bit more about your background if you feel comfortable.
A 38 years old single mum.😊
2. What is the most rewarding part of being a mother?
Push me to learn to grow inside.
3. What are the most challenging times being a mother? And how did you cope with them?
I don’t have much of my own time, which sometimes make me feel frustrated that I have to take care of my child 24/7.
4. What is your biggest craving or pet peeve about being a parent?
I need more of my own time and I can do whatever I want.
5. What makes your children smile and laugh?
When we play games together, hug each other; when she plays with her friends.
6.Words that describe your children?
Good sense of humour; funny, lovely, loving, generous, initiative, and sometimes like a monster.
7. Any standout memories of your children?
She tried to make me feel happy and warm when I felt angry. I was touched.
8. How do you like to spend time together nowadays with your family?
Prefer to go out in nature if possible.
9. Any great advice to your children when he/she becomes a parent?
Advice: if you don’t want to have a baby, it’s ok. If you want to have a baby, it’s also ok, just need to know in advance that you need to learn a lot to raise a baby.
10. Being in your profession, what do you feel is the most interesting parts?
Enjoy sharing each other’s stories and feelings.
11. What would you say that helped you to implement into your life with your profession?
Again, it helps me to grow, to become a better of myself.
12. Any good advice to parenting tips you can share with us?
Keep studying, never stop learning for new knowledge and skills. 😊
13. If anyone needs great advice on building their dreams or wants to connect with you as friends, what are the best ways to reach you?

Thank you so much for your time, Jasmine. Yes, being a mum requires so much commitment and time. I do agree with you that whether you decide to have a baby or not, both ways are totally fine, but you got to know in advance that you need to learn a lot to raise a child. And oh yes, keep learning and never stop absorbing the new knowledge and grasping the new skills. Well, I believe from this interview, we have left some food for thought for all our audiences and fellow parents, and hope you all enjoyed it!
