A Heartwarming Tale of Family

In this story, I will tell you about my former colleague from my last job. He and his wife have three children the eldest is in second grade, the two youngest are two and three years old. A very ordinary family. My colleague worked hard and conscientiously. I witnessed how terribly tired he was. So one day at the end of the working day I told him It’s okay, you can go home now, rest. And he told me No, I put on my jacket at 8 o’clock, and take it off at 10 p.m. When I come home from work, I walk with the little ones. They need it more now than when they are older. What kind of dad am I if I don’t do this? I was very moved, because I remembered the men I know, almost all of whom, having children, spend their free time on the couch in front of the TV or with a newspaper, or in front of the computer. I was no less surprised by one more thing (I have only seen this in a good American movie) his daughter told me that they have special days when “dad stays with the little ones, and mom and I go for a walk, go to the hairdresser, buy all kinds of hairpins. Yes… I think many housewives would like to have at least a few hours for themselves… But that’s not all. Even before they got married, my colleague and his wife regularly visited an orphanage. They didn’t stop doing this even after having three children. It’s just that now they do it together with them. And not only do they visit, but they also take orphans to their place, walk with them, visit various attractions. Moreover, it is so natural for them that my colleague is rather surprised why others don’t do it Svetlana, we are not doing them a favor, we ourselves and our children get more. In a word, if you want to be happy be. If you want to live like in the movies live.
