Mom Writes Stuff

As parents, we want only the best for our kids. We dream of a good future for them, a future devoid of a career in peddling cigars for less out on the streets. As long as they’re in school, we know they’re in good hands. And while in school, there is always the inescapable reality of homework. How can we help our kids with their homework?
First off, make sure that your kid is in a good mood when you’re about to do homework with them. If your kid is tired or cranky, he is most likely unable to produce best results with his homework.
Go through his assignment notebook, or wherever it is they write down their homework for the day. If you seem to be loaded with homework, start with the subject your kid finds most difficulty in. After you’ve tackled the tough stuff, he’ll find it a piece of cake to hurdle other assignments from easier subjects.
Be patient with your kid. If he doesn’t seem to understand the topic at hand the first time, keep at it, until he does. Sometimes, he may just need a fresh plan of attack on the subject. Try to answer that math problem in another way, and you just might arrive at a solution.
More than anything, it’s your presence and support that will help motivate your child to excel.

If you’re like most people in the metro nowadays, you probably live in one of those high-rise condominiums. City living has definitely afforded us with more convenient ways of living, in keeping up with the times. Doesn’t it sometimes make you miss those backyard barbecue and pool parties you grew up with?

The good news is you can still enjoy an outdoor barbecue up in the 32nd floor of your condo unit. If you’re lucky enough to have a balcony outside your unit, you can get one of those nifty tabletop electric grills. You can grill your favorite burgers or steaks with ease, and invite your closest friends for an intimate barbecue party. Throw in your favorite drinks and side dishes for a perfect get-together.

Working men are, of course, prone to a great deal of stress. They do take their jobs seriously, what with their bosses breathing down their necks the entire time. So how can we, as wives or loving partners, help alleviate some of that stress?

Since we love our man to bits, it should be no herculean task to show him that we care. Simple acts such as fixing him a sumptuous dinner and pouring him a glass of wine as a nightcap can do wonders at relieving him of stress and anxiety. You could give him a quick shoulder rub as he sits on the couch to catch his favorite basketball game.
If you keep doing more stress-reducing deeds each day, your husband will keep looking forward to going home to you.

Whenever I feel I need to take a break from the humdrum of everyday life, I just sit back and reminisce the old days. I turn on some 80’s or 90’s music and images of my single-blessedness spring back to life. I am instantly transported back in time to the days when I had fewer cares in the world. Moments like these are essential, as they help invigorate my soul, giving me a fresher outlook in taking on the challenges of today.

You should try that too. Travel back in time with some music or old TV flicks. Just don’t forget to return to the present.
