Parenting Challenges

Parenting is very challenging.  There are times that I feel like I am not doing the right things that I suppose to teach my kids.  I sometimes think that  what I am doing is wrong  because I disappoint my kids or  their feelings get hurt with what I tell them.  Just like this morning, my daughter went to school  crying because I scolded her for showing me an attitude.

Maybe I am being too hard on her and expect her to do things that I learned to do at an early age.  Maybe, I am missing the point that  kids these days are different than my era.  On the other hand, I want them to learn things  now because I do believe that it will help them achieve their goals and it will make them a better person.  I don't know if it's me or all parents experience this kind of  things.  You know what I mean, when you doubt  your capability of   doing the right things for your kids.  Any advice?

Investment Advice

My husband told me about the friend he had when he was still in the Navy.  He said that his friend was really good with  investment.  He studied how the  stock market works and he would often  get  a huge  ROI on his investment.  Some people are just naturally smart in handling their own investment but   for some  who wants to engage into investment but not sure  how to do it, investment experts like  Scott Gelbard can help.  

Hiring a professional like Scott Gelbard could ensure that your money   will be invested  right.  I mean it is cheaper if you do it yourself but it is also risky especially if   you are not  very particular with it.  Financial or investment advice is necessary especially if you are planning to  invest a huge amount.    The expertise of professionals like the one I mentioned above will  very beneficial for you and your future invest endeavor.  

Bowling is a Great Family Bonding

We went bowling back in July and the kids had a blast.  Hubby and I  did not bowl, we just let the kids  do it and they had a blast.  

Bowling is definitely one of the activities  that they love doing.  I just wish that they don't charge much for a game hehehe.  It is worth every penny though because you can just see their faces when they  get good scores.

And of course, it's a photo opportunity for all of us.

We had   pizza after their game.  My husband calls this a cardboard pizza but I thought that it was alright.

If you are looking for a good  family bonding activity, visit one of those bowling alley in your area and your kids will sure have fun!

Listening

In a relationship, listening is a vital aspect that should be practiced. Even if your spouse is talking about the things from work that doesn't ring a bell to you like Shipping Containers  or Metal Fabrication, it is important that you listen when they talk about it. This is vital especially if they came home and had a bad day at work. Talking about it releases the stress that they have had from their job or work. 

You may not be able to relate to the topic that he is talking about but at least, you are there willing to listen.  I am a good listener and whenever  hubby is  talking about something  from his work, I try to understand or even if I don't understand  it, I listened to him because  it gives him the avenue to share what   day he had at work.  It is   the same way with him when I tell him about my experience on  certain  Photo on Canvas that I reviewed or  things that I got from the mail that doesn't ring a bell to him.  Open communication is really important to make a relationship work.
