Don’t be fair to your kids. That is one thing that my mother taught us. Do not treat your kids in a way that you treat them all in the same manner. Kids are very unique from each other. They each need special care and attention. I never believed in the idea of treating the kids fair. In fact when you treat you kids fairly, you are actually being unfair to them. Picture this out, will you treat your five year old clingy daughter the same you would to your 3 year old independent son? Of course not, right?

Kids have different needs. Just like my three boys. When I had my second son, I ignore him most of the time. I tend to give more time to my first born. He is very clingy while my second son is very independent. And no, it never affects their relationship. I am very proud to say that the boys really love each other.

So, how can you treat your kids fair without being unfair? We live to this principle: To each according to his needs and from each according to his capacity. Easy to comprehend guys. You should never expect something from your kids when you know they cannot do it. Give them what they need and what you think is fair to both party. If the other one needs love more than the other, then gladly give it to him.

Life is not fair after all.

TCP stands for TUESDAY COUCH POTATO. This is a Tuesday meme that talks about movies, of being a couch potato. Click on the badge to know more about it.

This is my first time join this meme. I have been seeing my friends doing this meme and I wondered why I was not invited. Er, it was not the case actually, Kikamz actually invited me, I just overlooked the invitation on one of her comment.

Anyway, though I am not that much into movies, I think I will enjoy this meme. This week’s theme is 3D animated sci fi movie. I am not sure if this is 3d but an animated film that has the most impact to me is Meet The Robinsons. I love this movie up to its sound track to their slogan: KEEP MOVING FORWARD.

Meet the Robinsons is the story of an orphan, Luis. The plot is simple. He was taken by a guy from the future. Together they need to resolve something that will change their future if it was not resolved. In the end it was revealed who the guy is. Now the future lies on Luis hands alone. Will he make it to a science fair and meet his future?

I was really touched by the boy Luis. His story amidst the movie involving time travel is very heart warming.The movie is not just for kids, it’s for moms too!
