I would advice my friend to weigh the pro and cons of her/his decision. And I will try my best to convince him/her that the decision she/he will make is the wrong one. But, I think that's the only thing I can do. In the end, its still him or her that will make the decision. And one thing for...

English is like the second or third language here in my country. First, we have the native regional language, then we have the national language and then the last is English which is the international language. The good thing is that in school, major subjects such as Science and Math were taught...

Though many houses here in my country already put up their Christmas decoration, mine will be decorated after the Halloween. In fact, we've been using the same decoration for 5 years now and my wife is planning to replace some of them. Helping, nope, but the whole family will surely have some...

I endure at least 2 hours of traffic every single day of my adult working life. In fact I think I'm already immune to it. It simply because it will only ruin my day if I give a fuss about it. As for you, you will really be annoyed maybe because you are not use to it.

The same thing goes with ethnic tribes here in our country. Some of their good traditions were slowly being erased from their culture. Simply because the younger generations preferred to become educated and wanted to have the piece of the modern world. Weaving, ethnic clothing, tattooing, etc...

Personally, I think we should never let our children believed that the gifts they recieved during the Christmas morning comes from a magical man called Santa Claus, but rather teach them to appreciate any gift we parent had been sacrificing to provide. It is simply because we might entail to our...

Hi, there's no reason why you can't pursue a higher education even if your already married. I've done this before already. Married, with kids, having a full-time job and schooling should be manageable. That is if you can manage to take care of your time. My experience was, during our second...

One of the big reason why male losses their sex appetite towards their spouses is simply because our wife's attention is focused to raising the kids and taking care of the family. And because of these, they intend to neglect their own body, letting it aged faster, and maintaining its...

At first I had to assess ourselves as a parent. In what aspect of raising our kid that went wrong? It is because your kids is somehow a reflection of you as parent. Anything you teach your kids during their younger years will eventually becomes the kid of the present. - do we let our kids...

There is an old joke about giving names for Chinese baby's. If the couple knows the gender then all they have to do is pick up a porcelain plate and drop it on the floor. They should listen carefully to the sound of the plate smashing unto the floor. And whatever the sound was, then it will...

Hi David, congrats on your new baby. There's a good thread here which you will find informative information about first time dads. My advice is that you should be prepared and willing to learn something new everyday. Here is the link...

We do have plenty of pools nearby and one can access into it anytime of the day. Its like every month we go on swimming twice or trice. And because of this, my kids learned to swim on their own. Though now I'm teaching them the proper technique of swimming (the basic one only).

Yes, there will be less worry when it comes to the second child. Simply because I already earned the experience during the first one. Though the tension is still there, it is not as tense as the first one. The only problem that comes to it is always the money. Making a new budget for the second...

And we are getting older faster. Wrinkles started showing less than a year after our first born. Hairs are either getting thinner and white's are starting to show. We can now fell some aching in different parts of the body and often comments "we are not young anymore". By the time our kids...
