Hi Raymond,

Thank you for the comment and you are going to make a good father some day.

Having been there and done that, children really don’t come with an instruction manual, so all the advice you can store up now, will help in the future.

You have a wonderful and happy day,

Debbie

Hi Amy,

I do know that one can have some frustrating days when it comes to children. The apologies are good. When we realize that we have made a mistake with a child or over reacted and apology to them, they in turn see that it is ok to make mistakes.

When I would have one of those days with my children I always tried to stop and think; “Is this going to make any differences tomorrow or next week?”

Sounds to me like you are a good mother. Keep up the good work.

Hang in there the reward are wonderful.

Debbie

Thanks, and I completely agree with you. A child’s happiness does begin with the parents. Congratulations on your new one coming. Children are great gift. One thing that always felt when I was raising my 3 girls was that they were just gifts entrusted to me, so if I ever ran into situations that I didn’t know what to do I was never afraid to ask for guides
Thanks again to the Niche Think Tank

Oy. After some frustrations with the kiddos it’s easy to have the wrong perspective in life. Thanks for the encouragement and reminders! I will be implementing some forthwith. And I might have to throw in an apology as well – it’s been a frustrating few days.

Wow, great post, I really was quite moved. Being a parent and with one on the way, I always am thinking about such things. and am sad when I hear about children going missing or disappearing. I think that a child’s happiness begins with the parents. Thank You.

I’m still single and I believe that I should keep these advice in mind. One day, they’ll be extremely helpful to me. Thank you.

Hi Benjamin, and congratulations on the little one! They are a real blessing and they grow fast. You are definitely on the right track and sounds like you are going to be a great father.
Let us know when that little one arrives.
May happiness always be yours,
Debbie

Sounds to me like you are really working hard on that balance and doing a great job. Good for you. The 50 day spent with family sounds wonderful.
Good luck with your new bussiness at home, great way to go.
May you always be blessed with happiness and love,
Debbie

Yes, balance is the keyword, which I wasn’t able to master yet. Fortunately I quit my job last year and went into business for myself. Little did I knew… First of all, I love what I’m doing, so it is easier to get carried away with work, as before it was easier to clock out at 5. I have a great advantage though, last year, I spent about 50 days off, just being with the family. But it is hard to balance. I’m either off, or work like no tomorrow, not necessarily by choice, but because of the dynamics of the business. So, I have yet to find a better balance.
Keep up the great blog!

This is absolutely beautiful, Debbie.

My first is arriving next month… and I’ll be referencing this list as she grows up.

Children are one of the many blessings of the truly majestic gift of life that we all have…

I’m making it a point to show a little more appreciation each day!

keep smiling,

Ben
