What you are following in your family is the right approach as learning has to be as per their age and the children should be given options and told to decide about things rather than asking them to do one thing or the other because either both or one of the parents would want or like them to be doing that. I teach children and find that when they are receiving the new books which a changed pattern and received syllabus in new books printed. The feedback which I am getting from the children is that they find the portion too much.

The education system is such that for all sorts of uses for which people use the road and drive different vehicles. Here it is like telling the children that. This is the only vehicle you have whether you can understand the subject or not. Your duty is to finish learning the subjects which have been decided by the education board till class 10. Once you finish class 10 then you have choices. If they are given such a choice many are telling I do not like so and so subject and hence I am not interested. I have the difficult and sad task of convincing why it is important for them. The education board is not too concerned about these issues. Life has become a rat race and only best among the best prosper. Thanks for sharing your experience.

This is a great bonding. Some people say cats do not show as much affection as dogs, but this case is quite different, and shows that cats too can be very attached and loving.

I am happy for you because you have found a pet that you truly love and in turn, truly loves you. 🙂

You mean he sleeps on your head part of the bed? Does he know when to eliminate his waste and where?

My husband and daughter loves cat too. Though,the rest of us In the house don’t like any pet inside the house, not even the shih tzus. They are just outside the house at the garage.

At least, you have found a bodyguard in your pet cat. 🙂

Yes, I discovered that cats are so sweet!

I have a feral cat which we adopted and it did not leave our home. And like what your cat is doing, she always wanted to sleep in our bed, and yes, goes on top of my head but I shove her towards my feet because I am afraid she might accidentally scratch my face.

What happened to you is understandable. You keep doing good for the team yet no one would appreciate your effort at all. No wonder, you suddenly don’t have the motivation anymore.

I agree. When one’s effort is not even given a simple appreciation like thank you or even just a simple “the food is delicious” , you will feel like not doing it good anymore the next time around.

I actually feel that way at home. My parents-in-law are passive persons and so is my husband. They never would voice out their appreciation, but would just keep eating what I cooked on Saturdays I am at home. Good thing, the auntie from the US who is already staying with us for good is so appreciative of things I do and foods I cook. And when she does that, I would say, “good for you auntie because you at least knows how to say your appreciation, it wipes out my tiredness of cooking that”. And my in-laws would say “yes, it’s delicious.” I snob them when they say that. he he he
