Boho, happy life with dad
I have read a story tomorrow morning on social media. There is one mother, with two child, and she is pregnant. The article and her blog was about her life with children. She has a husband, who works all day, arrive home at 8 o’clock evening.
She raise their children alone, because she can only count on her husband on weekends.
I don’t think, it is normal. That is right, her husband has probably a well-paid job, but he can’t take part the family life. He gives money to home, they can go travel, probably they will have money for the study of children, but he is not in present in their life. Money does not replace time spent together.

If I had such husband, then I will ask him, to search other job, and take part more time in our life.
Money isn’t everything. You don’t have to go away for every break, nor do you need to travel abroad three or four times a year. A child’s good life doesn’t come from that; it comes from quality time spent together. Dads can teach their children and play with them, too — which also allows moms to catch their breath, rather than living solely for housework and the kids.
I suggest we look instead at what is actually needed and where savings — in terms of both money and time — could be achieved. Fathers are essential when there is one child, and even more so when there are three. Some of you might criticize me for this, arguing that a father’s only role is to provide for the family — but that is not the case. A family truly functions as a family only when everyone shares the burdens together.
It is for reasons like these that many choose instead to move to a farm, grow their own food, and live together as a family. Let us reflect on what we have done to this world. This is why families are being torn apart; let us take action to prevent this from happening.
