Family
What does your family look like? My immediate family consists of myself, my wife and our two boys; and is centered around our Christian beliefs. So, all my recommended products and services will come from this viewpoint.
Ahh, pictures of the perfect families. Happy, together, smiling, everything is perfect. Just like my family.
Yeah, right.
Now, don't get me wrong, I love my family and I think we're great but, we have our squabbles, and misunderstandings. And could our two boys BE any different???
How do other working couples do it?
Manage kids, jobs, homework, housework and still have time for fun???
Why do their kids "act right", treat others with respect, and make them look like the "perfect parents"?
I don't think anyone has ALL the answers but I've found the resources below to be very helpful in managing some of the stresses that our family faces each day.
