What Is The Secret?

my husband and I were sometimes jokingly ask by our relatives and friends regarding our secrets why our four children grow up good, finished their college degrees without problems as what others encountered with their children, and are having good job to support their families. they even contributed for our expenses if they think it is needed.

for me the answer to this is, it is not actually an answer but i will just relate our activities when our children were young. we used to go on picnicking, eating on sidewalks like "alacarts" if we have money, riding "sikad" in going home, bring our four children wherever we go. This is just what i described a simple living and happy. Now that they are married we used to visit them on weekends, if we couldn't do it, they are the one visiting us.

we did not do extra effort or don't have any itinerary to follow so it will result to something very extra ordinary they say. what we just do is freely done without any pressure from something or anything and we are so glad the outcome is good. my husband and i is so proud of our children. if the two of us retired penniless or shall we say did not received any retirement pay from where we work, at least they are self sufficient.

so raising a family has no secret at all, just be who you are and the fruits of your effort will reflect as who you are to your children. they said children are the reflection of their parents so this is it.
