I have two familiar women - mothers with many children. One mother has five children, the other has six. Both are completely different, although they have approximately the same income. One is satisfied with her position and feels completely happy, although sometimes it is very difficult. And the other constantly complains about fate.
Olga
Olga, who has five children, considers her life to be happy. Her husband works in a large company, earns enough, and she also has a business - a small store with toys. That is, for food and stuff for them and their children enough. They go on vacation every year, all together. It is not always possible to go to the sea, but on the nature they are chosen regularly. In addition, almost every weekend they have family outings. The youngest daughter is only a year old, therefore, for example, the father goes with the older children to the cinema, while the mother sits at home with the youngest. But in the cafe or for a walk in the park with accompanying purchases of sweets and toys are sent by the whole family.
What makes their life happy? The first secret is that they love each other. The second is considered a fortress by the family and the point of support on which happiness rests. All free time Olga and her husband spend together, with children. And they believe that without them they would not have a family, but simply a partnership. Children for them - the meaning of life.
Marina
I wonder how Marina decided to give birth to so many children. But, apparently, the husband insisted. He always dreamed of a big family. Marina just simply too cherished by marriage to him to contradict. From the children, she, according to her, is terribly tired. "Oh, at least send them all to where for a week," - says Marina, when the house starts children's brawls. A woman is really hard sometimes, as her husband is always absent - he has his own firm. Marina does not work anywhere, since she does not have time for this. Younger in kindergarten, too, does not give, because they can get sick there. And, as a result, two youngest, two-year-old girl and four-year-old boy, constantly with her at home.
When Marina's mother was alive, it was a little easier for her. Mom cooked, cleaned, took the children to school, did homework with them. Now, after the death of his mother, all this fell on the shoulders of a young woman. And she gave up. She does not clean her house at all, dirty dishes are collected by her mountains, and she rarely cooks food - she often buys semi-finished products. Well, although the eldest daughter is now helping. But soon she will finish school, then she is going to study in another city. What will Marina do then? Girlfriends help her, as they can: sit with the kids if she needs to go to a store or a clinic. But each of them also has a family, so ... They offered to hire a nanny or a housekeeper, because her family can afford it. But then my husband refused - he believes that strangers in the house should not be.
It seems that the situation is hopeless. But after all Olga somehow all is in time. What is its secret? Is the reason that Marina has more children for one child? Or her husband earns less than Holguin? What do you think?
