Family

One of the common issues which bugs the mind of adults is choosing between work and family. It's a real hassle to maintain a healthy family environment and to show colours in your career at the same time. Try to picture yourself in this scenario; You are a committed manager of a department in an established company. Working 12 hours a day, you barely have enough time to rest, skipping dinner at home at times. On weekends, you plan ahead for the following week, trying to get things done right and to limit occurring problems since you have subordinates to handle. Leaving 4-6 hours per week to spend with your family. Thinking about shagging your wife? (I bet you don't even have the mood.) You can imagine how dull the life is for your family members. If your wife is understanding, then thank god. Else, marital issues arise. Then your children upbringing will be affected, inviting more problems. The situation will be worse if both the parents are working. The grandparents become the victims. *Sigh*. Raising up a child is no joke. You will double up your worries, and your stress level will certainly increase as least by three folds if you're a working person. That's why it's vital to compromise on the right things. Work on the bond, tolerate. Mutual understanding is crucial in this matter. Learn to know your children well, sometimes it's your attention that they crave for. You might please them for the day by lavishing them with materials, but in the long run they will lose their faith in you. Never overlook the trivial things in life. It never hurts to express your love for them. You never know how much it means to them for just being there to show your support at their school events or having a heart to heart talk just because they lost something precious to them and seems unimportant to you like a sohai soft toy. Take the initiative to plan and have a family outing every once or two weeks. However, remember not to disappoint your children by making empty promises. Treat your wife fairly too. Don't let the sparks die. After marriage can still go paktor one ma... This reminds me of the parents of an old friend (Alvin Fong). They still go out for dates. No shit.

Why such a topic?, you ask. This morning, I watched an intriguing short japanese drama series which has inspired me to write on this. It has broaden my view and I just feel like sharing it. Finally, don't forget that a condom can actually save you from all the troubles. Remember to check the expiry date.
