It seems to mean that once you get married, it’s hard to change jobs, right? Some senior employees have also talked to me about this, advising me not to find a partner or buy a house yet, otherwise it will be difficult to leave later on~
Yes, once you start a family, there are more things to deal with and more responsibilities, especially when the children are young. There are even more challenges associated with changing jobs, such as taking care of the children in daycare or at school, and so on.
Before starting elementary school, children should be able to go home every day； Before going to college, the child should be able to go home every week ； After the child goes to college, he can go wherever he wants, but he needs his wife’s approval; generally speaking, she doesn’t let him have too much freedom.
