Mommy Moments:Chore Time

I had a very busy day these past few days.I need to finish every tasks @ the office as well as in the house for I'll be leaving tomorrow bound Shanghai for a couple of days or four.I'm really glad I made it on time.And these was just the reason why I can't blog hopp as I usually do,but promise to visit you back when I gets home.
And since I'm enjoying this meme of Chris of The Mommy Journey here in Mommy Moments,my trip to Shanghai is not an excuse to just pass up the chances of joining here.And the theme for this weeks Mommy Moments is about "Chore Time".I had had diffilculties on finding some photos of my kids about this theme but 'm glad I found few of it so here we go...

I let my kids to share their responsiblities around the house & help them to encourage their participation early.Like vacuuming the rooms.This was taken last summer vacation.


I even allow my kids to do the chores in the kitchen at their very young age,for I do believe that it would be easier for them to adjust their livin' when they get into University, just like my eldest & I'm really glad I taught her early before she'd apart from us.


This was taken last spring.I let her did the washing w/c I believed is the easiest way to share the responsibility for regular chores around the house .

Tossing laundry in the basket is another way on how they can begin to help us even with small chores.

Couple's Corner:Misunderstanding

Everyone knows how bad misunderstanding can be & how much they can hurt.Most of us realize in some rational corner of our minds that what we are screaming from each other about at the moment isn't really important, what we seem to be quarelling about is a pretext.It can destroy even the best of marriages.
I can't hardly remember what does our first misunderstanding experience during our first year in marriage.And as I tried to re-call & reminisce our past while doing my entry here in Rodliz's of Couple's Corner,memories flashed back just like an instant rapid way back 18 years ago.
"Communication problems" is about as useful as saying that "IF EVERY NATION SPOKE THE SAME LANGUAGE,THERE WOULD BE NO WARS".
Since we're both born in diff'rent country w/ diff'rent language & beliefs.At first hubby & I had had failure in communication w/c led us to misunderstood each other in expressing what we really meant .W/o understanding quite where the quarells really comes from.Our home soon became a courtroom battle.And keep saying " THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M TRYING OR IMPLYING TO SAY"!Shortly,there are going to be two versions of the truth w/c both of us likely to distortions.But after we progressed in understanding ourselves we immediately abandon the glib generalization of a breakdown in communication.It also leads us to learn more about our differences & me as a foreigner on his land tried to study more about their language,traditional & beliefs & in vice versa he did the same way too.
What about you?What was your misunderstanding experience being a husband & a wife?
