Jessica Hsuan Does Not Want to Be a Stay-at-Home Mom
As a guest star for Elaine Ng’s (吳綺莉) new cable TV talk show, Jessica Hsuan (宣萱) openly spoke about her former love life. She shared her past decision to end a stable six-year relationship with a boyfriend in order to pursue her career dreams. Although Jessica has experienced her ups and downs with romantic affairs, she is unafraid to continue the search for her Mr. Right.
While in her twenties, Jessica was in a stable relationship at the stage of considering marriage. Eventually, she decided it was not the right moment and ended the relationship by opting for her career instead. Jessica explained, “I was at the peak of my career back then, and my boyfriend made it clear I wouldn’t be able to continue working in the industry if I married him. We would have children, and I would be a full-time mom. I asked myself if I would regret getting married and being unable to continue my career. My immediate response was ‘yes!’, and so I ended up choosing my work. I’ve never regretted that decision.”
In the past, Jessica took relationships very seriously and was deeply hurt during breakups. There was a time when she did not feel like dating anyone, and she was in that state for up to a year. Jessica did not want to experience the feeling of crying nonstop all over again.
Calling herself a silly girl, Jessica expressed she had not been able to tell whether a man’s feelings for her were genuine in the past. “Whenever someone does a tiny favor for me, I would think he is an awesome man. Nowadays, I know how to distinguish between those who are fake versus real,” she said.
Though she has been through unsuccessful relationships, Jessica has not lost faith in love. She expressed, “Never give up! Life is bitterly short and I will open up to new experiences. The most important thing is to find the right person.”

I’m the same way. I have a fear of being a stay at home mom and that’s all I would be. I have much respect for stay at home moms though I have way too much goals to be stuck at home serving children and a man.
I guess everyone has different goals. Some people like Cathy Tsui decided to be a stay at home mother and some people like Carina Lau who work hard to have a successful career. In the end, as long as that individual is happy then it’s cool.
” I have way too much goals to be stuck at home serving children and a man.”
I know you said you had “respect” for stay at home parents… but then you turn around and insult them in the same sentence while making yourself sound very self-centered. I doubt anyone who has chosen to stay home feels that they are “serving” their children/spouse. What a terrible way to word it.
In many cases, it is not about having goals or not,but whether you can afford staying home or not. These days,both parents must work in order to have enough to support the family. One income is usually not enough.
These days the modern woman is reluctant to be tied to the home entirely, besides, she sometimes would have to supplement her husband’s income in order to have a little mire for herself. In this case she would have to think carefully how to balance between work and care of family. Jessica has chosen to be free and not plunge straight into marriage and family life but I wonder why she has taken 6 years to come to that conclusion? I suppose it’s a case of better late than never.
these days people just think wrong
i don’t get them>>>>>…………….lol
hi there
1. honest, not many of us can have the best of both worlds right.
2. anyway, better luck the next time around, jesse.
“I was at the peak of my career back then, and my boyfriend made it clear I wouldn’t be able to continue working in the industry if I married him. We would have children, and I would be a full-time mom.”
She dumped him for the right reasons… not because of her job, but because of the unilateral demand and expectation on what her role was to be after marriage.
i think stay at home is great. as long as you can put down your egos and most importantly being able to afford it. being in the corporate is very tiring, too much heartburn and back-stabbing… being with your family you will know for sure that at the very least it is rewarding.
Some people have those personality to excel in the corporate world!
my wife likes to have kid so much that sometimes I am “scared” of her. I want to have kid too but I do not think it is a right time (she and I are under 30 :P)
