Sorry for not posting for so long. I will make it a habit to post each week every Friday.
We just moved, again. New house, new city, new job. Things are getting better. I need to make some changes in the house though.
There is an opening at the top of the stairs with two big bars. I need to put something between those bars so the girls won't fall over. They know they have to stay away from it, but safety is first.
My job is taking most of my day now, but my wife is home. She's not working anymore. I like that, she doesn't. I married a very independent woman. She likes to earn her shoes. Being a stay at home mom is a job, I tell her, a tough job. She just doesn't think she's a good mother, would rather buy them everything and pay for cleaning. That's fine by me, if I could stay home everyday to watch them, but now I can't and soon I won't at all. I will be working in an office soon.
Anyway, I think she is the greatest mom ever. The girls are growing up strong and independent like her, which I love. Everyone says they are the best behaving kids they have seen and are very disciplined and social. I hope she realizes that.
We do treat them very tough, which some may find weird, but I think that is the best way. Treat them as adults, don't dumb down your vocabulary, explain EVERYTHING. That's how they will learn the most. BUT, never stop them from exploring, playing and being a kid in general.
That is just the way we were raised and our way to raise our children. I'm not saying its better than any other way.
What do you think?
