The weekend goes very quickly, with so many little jobs to catch up with accumulated during the weekdays. Saturday is always the day to pay the bills, catching up with housework, making sure the house is reasonably tidy. We do all the housework together so no one gets to feel like they have been ‘used'. Of course the housework is not the most glamorous of jobs but if we want our surrounding environment to stay clean then we must do the housework. We encourage our children, of course they don't want to but we insist for them to clean their rooms as well as do the responsibilities around the house. They do the work with not much enthusiasm however, ha, ha.

It was our daughter's birthday this Saturday so going to get those present cost her dad a fortune, she needed only few items ended up spending all his money, leaving him potless. It's not that she not modest, no it's rather expensive hobby she's got, you see. She spend a lot of her time in the fresh air, training the horse and developing herself, doing physical activities, such as mucking out, feeding the horse with hay, develops her confidence in riding, developing good posture, instead of getting depressed in front of her laptop. Her father spends the moneys with gladness, of course we remind of modesty, respect for the parents.

Going out for a family meal was very special because we don't do it very often due to very hectic lifestyle with hundreds of responsibilities. Not only we have jobs for the good of the economy but also we have parental responsibilities as well as marital commitments to each other. Some days we look into each other eyes and we want to cry from the pain, having to counselling each other. No way back now. We must persevere to do the good work for the better of the humanity, making decisions for the better future. Our children understanding the situation totally, they know parents must do the work in order to carry out endless duties.

They seem to like their independence, it gives them chance to develop in the pool of independency, making decisions, when they need support or mentoring they know dad or mum on the other end of the phone in emergency situations. Usually they wait when we return home to discuss any concerns. Most of the time not Harry, nor even Nicole give us problems. Having said this they are not easy teenagers either. Handling their ever changing hormonal imbalance not the easiest task when it comes to ask them to do something. Of course they retaliate. However we are managing, not always in an idealistic way but with good on line resources for parents we can find the best methods to deal with their ‘wobblers'. Then in turn we reap all the results of our hard work ‘promoting' to others the lifestyle. In anyway pressure isn't the best way not for us, not for our kids.
