Having a talk with my husband about what things were like for us growing up. We are from different upbringings. My husband’s family was single low income and they worked hard for what they had. Both my parents worked part and full time, we had all that we needed growing up. A lot of the decisions we have made for our children is a combination of the two. I am a stay at home mother because it was what my husband wanted for our children and because I know I would have like my mum to be able to just be a mum without having to work too. We want our children to earn what they get, our 3 year old and 2 year old both have a list of things to achieve, simple tasks like putting their washing out, packing up toys and helping put away dishes, passing pegs when I hang washing etc. Things we both remember doing as children too. We are not even 30 yet and already using the line ‘when we were young’. I thought that only came with age but apparently I am older than when I was young. But for two people that are from similar moral upbringing but different financial upbringing we are coming together and I think we are going a good job with our children.
