In most case, there are two parents involved in the upbringing of a child or children.  These two parents are individuals who have had different upbringings, experiences and possibly have different beliefs.  Usually, these two people are together because they love each other and share many common interests and wish to live together.

But when it comes to raising a family, there are many different styles of parenting and many issues can be confusing. One parent may have been raised in a very strict household while the other was raised in a more relaxed style.  One person’s way of dealing with parenting issues may be shocking to the next.

There are times when I think that being a stay-at-home mum is the most difficult job in the world. These are times when I am feeling sorry for myself as I do yet another round of washing-up and laundry as I listen to my children fighting over a toy in the next room.

I fantasise about how wonderful it would be to forget about it all for 8 hours a day and do a job where I am appreciated and rewarded. I imagine having a real pay check at the end of the month, about helping other people and gaining experience in my career.

It’s a sad thing to see that divorce rates are on the rising trend now. What has happen to the vows made during solemnization? I knew a couple who seems to be the perfect match. Everything was perfect, no financial issue, husband is a Mr Nice Guy but 3 years later, when I catch up with that friend of mine, I was so shocked to hear that they were divorced. Keeping a passionate relationship and a long lasting marriage requires maintenance on a very regular basis. This is what busy city dwellers like us overlook. Here’s 5 golden rules to get along with your spouse and be happily marriage.

Rule 1 – Do not take your spouse for granted
The fact that your spouse and you are very close to each other does not mean that you could take him for granted. I used to fall into the trap that many ladies had fallen into. Knowing that my husband is always there for me, I throw my tantrums very frequently.

I have read a book, “An Hour to Live, an hour to love” by Richard Carlson and Kristen Carlson. This serves as a wake up call in a way. It is a profoundly moving book as the book teaches the importance of treasuring your love ones and treasure each and everyday as tomorrow might not come.

Caesarean section (C-section) is the delivery of the foetus and placenta through an incision in the abdomen and uterus. There are various medical reasons why this procedure is performed, either as an emergency or a scheduled operation, as in some instances a vaginal birth can harm the baby and/or the mother. C-sections do, therefore, save lives, and we are all grateful, I’m sure, to the medical advancements of western medicine.

But more and more women are electing to have a C-section, not for medical reasons, but because they fear the pain and distress of a natural delivery. They feel it is their right to choose how their baby is delivered.

Renovating your house is no doubt one of the most tedious but the most important thing when you are about to get married. Your house is the place that you call it home. A place for you to rest and relax after a hard day work. When I was renovating my house few years back, a friend of mine was telling me about how important fengshui was. An environment with good fengshui will enhance peace and harmony at home, enhance health and create wealth abundance. These are the few basic fengshui tips that she shared for doing up the bedroom. Of course, for more, we have to engage a fengshui master.
