I feel so sad when I read the outpouring of your heart and all the things that have happened to you and your family so far to all of us here, oh God, the problems in life that you are facing right now are really heavy. I hope you stay strong and patient through all this my brother, because believe that God will soon help you so that you are able to get through all of it..
Being a caring parent who can set aside his daily time by being directly involved and actively monitoring the growth and development of children at home is very good. I can say my brother @justinparke, you are a smart father and lucky your wife and children because you have a husband as well as a father who understands very well the emotional closeness between parents and children and understands about giving the right education pattern that must be given to his children.
There are so many parents who don't understand basic things like this, I can honestly say that in our country (Indonesia) it's also like that, the mindset of the fathers (men) in our country is that their job is only to work or make money. to provide for the family, while the tasks of cooking, washing, taking care of the house, taking care of children, to taking care of the children's school needs are the duties of mothers (women). And I am very sure that this mindset is also the same for fathers (males) in all countries in the Southeast Asia region, the majority of which are of the same Malay family..!! Whereas the truth is when we get married then all of that becomes a shared responsibility between us as husband and wife..!! In my religion (Islam) it is even explained that it is the absolute responsibility of a father (male)...
I understand very well if at this time you and your family are very dependent on income from Hive, then of course you have to carefully manage your time for all of that, and yes, as you told us, you become sleep deprived because of it. while the situation is the opposite, you are forced to take over and take full responsibility for the management of all hive accounts, be it your wife's account and also your children's account. And yes, obviously it is not very good for your health my brother, I hope you will soon find the best solution for all the difficulties that have happened to your family so far
I am personally very grateful that you have considered me as one of your best and closest friends so far on hive, I really enjoy reading your posts, listening to all your complaints, laughing when you laugh and also sad when you're sad. Oh God, if only I could help and help you when you are having a hard time like now. Please forgive me, my brother, because right now I am also very, very busy with all the work at the office and also at home. It's been almost 2 weeks I haven't greeted you and have also been involved in the ASEAN Hive Community and in other communities, I've been really busy lately. I'm sorry again, Justin. I have 5 small children, I am also like you, I take care all of them myself, clean the house and take care of their needs to school. And I enjoy all of it 🙏🙏😩
Your words are inspiring, and I can't imagine 5 children, you really have your work cut out for you 😉.
In some ways I am okay with traditional life, the husband working to earn money, and the wife responsible for home affairs. I am also good at cooking, cleaning, parenting, homeschooling and all the old-fashioned duties of a wife, this is because I have lived alone as a bachelor for many years, and am very good at living alone.
The most important thing for me is to share the responsibilities equally regardless of what they are, and right now that is something we are working. Balance is needed in all aspects of life, and I hope we will keep working on that. Thank you for thinking of my family and I, you are kind soul and I think you understand my situation all too well 😁.
