My husband: ‘Children, let’s go outside to take a walk in the fresh air..’
Our children (in chorus): ‘No, we don’t want to!! We will go out to the playground but not further..’
Me: ‘Ok, there is only 1 way out of taking a walk: you go to the playground AND later also pack away the washed clothes from yesterday..’
Children: ‘It’s not fair, only to the playground!’
Me: ‘Children, I’ve been watching House of Cards for 5 hours today, I would easily tackle even the political crisis of the Middle East, your negotiation position is somewhat weak at the moment..’
Ps: when I appeared next to them to take this photo, my daughter simply qualified the situation as catastrophe tourism.
I am Hungarian living in Antwerp, Belgium.
Having landed in my blog might mean that you are interested in topics like How to Run A Happy Family, or How To Be Successful At Work, or Which Places Not To Miss When You Travel Abroad, and if you indeed want to know more about those topics, please do visit some real blogs, due to the fact that I also write about family, travel, work, etc, however the common element of those posts being that you will for sure not find them useful, in any sense.
You will meet recurring characters, such as my daughter (2006), my son (2009), my husband, and some others (grandmas, neighbours, teachers, colleagues..) who are all very nice people, so appearing in my stories is not at all their fault..
