Q&A | Πώς Ζω μία Απλή Ζωή σε Έναν Σύγχρονο Κόσμο

Hello and welcome. In today's video I will answer the questions you asked me in a related post I made here on YouTube. There was also no chance for me to sit in front of the camera and talk. It was very difficult for me. So I'll have the comments on the screen so you can see why we're talking. Well, still you can make your coffee, a tea, do some work at the same time and just listen to it while you do something else, because there is nothing special to watch. So let's start with the first question. Tell us a little about your childhood, if you have siblings, about your parents, how you grew up and have all this kindness, goodness and love for God. I really don't see any of this in people today. It is extremely rare to find one of these. I'm starting with this to tell you a little bit about who I am, because I haven't given much detail. On Instagram I have shared more. But there is much here that I have not said. First of all, well, I was born, raised, educated and lived. Um, I have four children. My oldest are twin boys aged 11. My middle one is a girl and she is almost one and the little one is about 20 months. Well, I'm a philologist. I did especially and stopped them. We will talk about this in the course, but in other questions. And my husband is a priest and iconographer. So I'm an ambassador. That's all for now and let's go to answer more specifically. First of all, thank you all for your kind words. Of course I'm not always like that. I do what I can like all of us. Now from here on as far as the love for God is concerned it is something I learned from my family. We grew up that way. From then on, in some phase of my life I made a high revolution I would say where I simply redefined some things which I think helped me a lot. When we grow up in such a climate, we naturally follow some things we learn from our family without always understanding why. So it is important at some stage in our lives to see it a little more meaningfully and more deeply so that everything we do can be an experience and be from within us and a need and not because we learned it and because it has to be. There is no should in faith. There is want and there is love. As for the other characteristics mentioned, they are principles that we got from the parents the whole family. There are many such people. It's just that most people don't go through the process of making a YouTube channel or creating an Instagram account. And it was very difficult for me to share such things. But I see that people embrace it with a lot of love and that they want it, and that's why I'm entering this process. But there are people. I have girlfriends, I have bridesmaids, my children's wives buy many of the books I show you and I am very lucky. I feel lucky because it is very important to have like-minded people, to feel that you can talk to someone about things that are not so common and perhaps accepted by most of the world. So I don't think I'm doing anything special and special. I have friends who I believe will do much better than me and I am constantly learning from them. We continue to the next question. Good morning. It would be nice if you could share the thoughts and motivations behind the decision to stay home with the kids in an age where it's taken for granted . If you want , of course, lots of kisses. Personally, this started as a necessity for me because I couldn't cope with everything. I did especially during that period. I was pregnant with my third child, but it was because of the other two children I had. The pregnancy didn't affect me anywhere, but my children, the twins, I wanted to be with them, to spend time with them. It was around two o'clock. And me because I had to read and prepare for the specials I did, well, I didn't have the time I wanted to spend with them and I felt like I had a really nice part of motherhood and it's an age that goes by so quickly. I know that for many parents it seems very difficult at the beginning, when the days pass slowly. Now I know that the years pass quickly and that there is nothing else worth more. I don't judge moms who work side by side. I know there are many who are fulfilled by what they do and thus they can cope better afterwards at home because they feel fulfilled by their work. I also know many who have managed to find the balance, the perfect balance between work and children. I also know that there are many who do not have the ability to do this. It's hard financially. It's a huge decision. But you always weigh. I have the support of my husband. From the beginning when I told him. this one. We go as far as we can. Maybe at some point things will change. That is, with the sacrifices from the things we do because we have a salary. We can do it with difficulty, but we can live the way we live. We also have our own house, so we don't have an extra exit to it. This decision can be changed at any time . But for now I feel happy, I feel complete, I feel lucky and I wouldn't change it for anything. Now, as far as people's opinion on this particular matter is concerned, I personally don't care anymore what people say, because I don't feel that I have to give an account to anyone. I cannot accept the criticism of a parent who decides to work because he thinks he cannot make ends meet. I respect that and the other person should respect my decision. I have not been criticized openly. I understand from the reactions of others that you obviously do nothing and offer nothing. I don't care because I know very well what I do and what I offer. I also know my husband appreciates it and so do my children . And that's enough for me. I know that things are very different abroad . People are much more open-minded, I would say. Because here in Greece we can say that we are open-minded and advanced. However, I consider it too closed now to still refer to the equality of friends, etc. I know that there are cases where things are far behind. In our own family I can say and many families I know that there is complete equality. My husband helps me a lot with chores. It makes me feel good about what I have to offer. So I don't pay attention to what other people say. We continue with the next question. Good morning. I would be interested in you telling us how you organize your meals for the week, how you spend creative time with the kids, books you would recommend, maybe a plan or things you follow for home economics. I think it is also something that you show us up and down in your videos and you will be able to answer us. Many thanks in advance. In general, I think I stressed you out a bit by only answering what I feel comfortable with. You were very discreet. Thank you very much and your questions were very nice. Well, let's go answer it now. Um, as far as meal planning goes, it's something I don't do as much as I used to. That is, I wrote a list of everything, breakfast, lunch, dinner. What definitely doesn't work is putting in lots of different meals and complicated meals throughout the week. As for breakfast, there are some standard things that we do almost every day. In other words, we alternate two or three different ones every day. So I don't have anything complicated there and I don't need to mark anything. At lunch, I now have the experience of what my children like, of what I can make easily. So when I go to the supermarket, I always get some specific ingredients, raw materials. Well, both for economy and for healthier options. Our dinner is always simpler because the kids don't want to eat the same food and because most of the time we want something light in the evening. If I make more than I try to make, I put it either in the fridge for the next day or in the freezer. So even if there is a portion left over I can use it again another day. In other words, four or five portions can be collected and a nice meal can come out another day if I take them out of the freezer the night before or the same morning and it is something very convenient. Nothing is lost. We try at least not always, but we try. As for the plans for the week, I usually do it either on fasting because we need more ideas, or because the kids can get bored of the same foods. And so I want to come up with something different. But under no circumstances do I add many different complicated recipes in one week. I want to make sure the kids eat most of the food. I have a related blog article. I don't think I've made a video here yet, but I plan to. I'll put it in the description. Creative time with children. I try to embrace the ones they like the most. Well, on tables it's something we can all play together or two by two. From here on, the things I can't do. I just try to be there and watch as much as I can and be interested. For example, in Lego I build entire states. I can't even build a small house. But I sit with them, I ask them what they are making, I watch. Sometimes they ask me for a specific Lego. I'm looking to find it for them. It is a time to spend together in any case. Another thing is to print color pages. We did this more when the kids were younger. Now they are chipping away at it a bit my daughter is more into painting but we were printing. We would each pick a design and we would color and talk. Also, when I'm doing chores that I know a particular child likes I'll tell them to come along and help if they want. For example, one really likes cooking. He likes to make what they eat himself. So I'm there with him and we're doing it side by side. He manages almost on his own. He is big. But I'm afraid as much as the stove eye and so on. Don't burn. Although he is careful, I am there and it is also a good opportunity for us to be together. As for cypress, one likes to come with me when I buy flowers. So I take him. My husband also mainly takes the boys along who are more into tinkering and showing them what he does. They also help many times when he paints, he takes them along especially my daughter who likes calligraphy and they see, watch, make something similar of their own. What I want to say is that you can as much as possible and of course there is time, but especially from an age onwards when the children are older, more communicative, you can spend creative time with the children without organizing anything special. They can simply participate in what you do. From here on, what we organize is simple. That is, we can watch a movie at night, Friday night, especially during the year when we need some time to rest in the school year. I mean Friday night we make popprnn and watch a children's show. This was a tradition, I can say that it has stayed. And of course, as I have told them, I read almost every night from an extracurricular book. Finally, I try to spend time with each child individually and in the way I told you that I take them when I do something I know they like, but also by watching for example a game they are playing either on Xbox or mobile. I definitely don't prefer screens. But when they're playing anyway I like to go and show them what they're doing because that's where they feel more relaxed, open up more easily and so it's an easy way to connect. As for books I recommend, I've put up a short and I'll put up other videos as well. I'll just now tell you some little rough ones that I have here at least. Well, one is training in how to talk to children so that they will listen to you and how to listen to them so that they will talk to you. It has a lot of practical advice, which I like. These books help me understand how children think and what is normal for each age. What expectations can you have? Of course, every child is different and some may be delayed a little longer. This is normal. It's really incredible how simple and small things we change can make such a big difference in a child's psychology and the way they deal with something the way we deal with it. And it is easy, not hard. Some things are simply handled differently. And because, as you know, we try to raise our children close to the church and to love this relationship with God, I also read books by saints. The family life of Agios Paisios the Agioritos which is from the volumes of the Saint. It's volume D from what I see from Uroti's publications . Well, there are other volumes, here it refers to the education of children , but more to the relationship of the couple, which is also very important. An important factor. These are not separate things. And the rest of the books again in time. So as I told you, things I follow for home economics. I have made two blog articles. I'll put those in the description as well. In general we have a car. We generally try to be very careful about the things we buy. We sit down at least once a month and look at income and expenses. In the supermarket, as I told you, mainly raw materials. em price per liter and kilo and not product. This is something pretty well known by now I think. Beyond that, as I said, I don't make spontaneous purchases and when you shop online it's quite easy. In other words, you can put something in the basket or on a list and from then on, think again, not buy it directly. Most of these I can say I find I don't need and I don't buy. And so for everything I've bought almost nothing has ever gone to waste. There are now reviews of good products so even if you spend a bit more it won't be a waste because you will know it will work the way you want it to. So this is a positive and the rest in the articles. We continue with a big one. Good morning dears. I am also a new mom and I live in a small village in Switzerland with my 10 month old son. I am looking forward to reading the book you are currently reading. Our lives are similar. I live at home, I don't have any help. My parents are in Greece and my husband in Germany and I try to embrace the role of mom and wife. I make our own bread and all other doughs. We feed ourselves with the products of the village and the region. The nearest town is an hour away by car and I don't drive. and for the past few months I have been listening to several passages of the Holy Bible through an application that provides it recorded. A few questions to answer if selected. Is there a specific parenting method that you follow that works for you and your children For example I have started reading about the Montes method but I don't want to rely solely on one method to raise my son. Second, how do you deal with ttrtrrums Are they the same in boys and girls and at what age did they start if they were congenital in each of your children did they become less noticeable over time could you elaborate on how you deal with them Third, have you considered moving to the countryside, working with animals or growing your own fruit and vegetables Thank you for your time and I wish you the best of luck. Well, first let me say that I have some help. My mother makes a meal about once a week. My mother -in-law also holds the little one every day for almost one to three hours if he sometimes sleeps. As I said, my husband helps a lot, not only at home, but also with the children. That is, if I have to leave all the children to him for some reason, I have no anxiety. I know he can handle them just fine. I also drive. We may not live downtown. But we don't live that far. You live quite far away. and if you need a guide. As for the first one, well, I like getting clues. I don't like to follow anything in particular reverently. Quite simply because one can get information from everything. We are thinking beings. We can keep the good and discard the negative. In general I'm in favor of positive parenting learning to listen to children, building empathy in children and I agree that you don't have to follow only one method to raise your son Whatever you see works because only you know your child and only you can understand what his needs are and what really helps him. All the rest are suggestions. Tantrums are outbursts of anger. For those who don't know, the children who shout, cry etc. And we have seen them many times in public places. Well, there were of course and there were. It is normal at certain ages. To be able to deal with it, the best way of course is prevention. If the child is hungry or fasted or if he is very tired, then he is more likely to have such outbreaks. Even us adults are more irritated when we have these feelings. Well, so it's very helpful to catch all of that. From here on, I think that the way to deal with it is different at every age. A two-year-old child cannot understand and listen to what we say to him, and logical arguments cannot bring him back to order. Of course as they get older they decrease. It is very different to talk to an 11 year old with logical arguments and very different to try to talk to a screaming child. This can't be done . Um for me because they have started with the little one what helps me is to distract him. I mean, if he has something in his hand, I won't just take it from him because he doesn't want to have it. If we're in a store for example and he likes something I'll let him keep it the whole time. Most likely he will put it back and get something else and that will follow until we leave the store. So he usually forgets now if he has something in the cash register I'll most likely get him something small or get him a snack to eat and forget about or I'll just pull a small toy out of my bag to distract him and he usually gets it. We don't have easy outbursts. Now sometimes he might get caught in the church because he wants to enter the holy ktalop and I take him. Well, it's not easy to forget with games. He just wants to walk around all the time, which I don't mind. But if he starts crying I'll probably pick him up and take him out. Whether I'm in a store, or at church, or somewhere else. I don't worry about big kids. In other words, I don't have two or three small children in my law. So for me this is easy. I can take him out and he'll be forgotten there. From then on I hold him in my arms until he calms down. I don't leave him alone and he's usually easier to forget because he's still small. When they grow up it sticks a little more in their minds. There, after they have calmed down, a discussion can take place, the child can explain what is upsetting him, why he is angry, why he is sad , and we can find a solution together. It is important to remember that in this case it does not mean that you are pandering to him or that he is manipulating you just because you accept his feelings. It doesn't mean you will do what he wants. that you will buy what he absolutely wants so that he will not be upset. A suggestion like we'll get it next time or we can't because we've already bought enough usually helps. Another thing that can be a reason for breakouts and you can avoid it is clothes. It is very likely that children want to wear something specific. Something that helped me a lot was to make them two pairs of clothes that I approved. That is, if it was Sunday for church and they wanted to wear something very rough or something dirty from the laundry. Why do children have such ideas very often? I just told them beforehand that you can choose this or whichever you want and they usually chose and they already felt that they were in control so to speak and so they liked that and we didn't have any tantrums. In other words, we catch up as much as we can. As for the third part, you have simply described the life I dream of at some point. I loved living in the countryside. We are relatively in the countryside. We are not a center. Well, actually yes. There is not that comfort that there is when you are more outside, when you can put a garden, when you have land and you can put animals. We don't have that feature here. But I would very much like to to be done at some point. Finally, long live your child and let me say well done to you for all that you manage to do, while you are alone and without help. And we continue with the next question. How do you manage to have this wonderful family and how did you meet the husband that shows you are people of the same culture. This is very hard to match. Generally for the people, the young people who go to the church, there are many organized unions, associations. The metropolises often organize various excursions, coffees and events where they can all meet, get to know each other and give an opportunity to people who are different in any case according to our society now to get to know each other, see if they fit in and many families have been created in this way. That's how we met. We started dating. We saw that we are compatible in other things too. Because it is not enough just to have the same values. He also wants you to fit in. He wants you to have the same interests. And I can say that I see this in many other families as well. So it's not that rare. Just like I told you it depends on the environment you grow up in. Indeed, in these families there is a common spiritual person who can listen to both sides and give advice to each one individually based on what is needed. And so families can function harmoniously because it is not easy. In no way do I take what I have for granted. I feel lucky. Simply put, we also have our disagreements and the difficulties that many couples have. It's a daily struggle. It is important to want and try to face the problems and move on and solve them. Thus there is harmony. Well, these. I don't know if I covered you . We continue with the next one. Hello. I think it would be interesting to develop how your faith was cultivated and how you keep it alive. Also, what helps you pass it on to your children and if there are difficulties or reactions from those around you and how you deal with them. Well, I talked about how my faith was cultivated to keep it or it definitely helps me to read. I try to read the New Testament every morning. The prayer. I say the wish to myself as much as I can. And from there I like to follow accounts. Especially on Instagram there are now quite a few women who share such things. Especially women from abroad who have now entered Orthodoxy, who have zeal, a lot of love for the faith and deep faith, fresh, how can I say it. And all this always inspires and motivates me. Um, and it renews me, I would say. Because we, who grew up in these things, are perhaps tired of them or have not particularly indulged in details on which an adult gives a basis and we get a lot of help from these women. As for the children, it helps me as I said to read books of education by saints, advice of saints, um take them to church as much as I can, pray together as much as we can. I try to talk to them a little about my own experience, because when there is experience and love then the child can, I think, embrace it more and not see it as an obligation. I try not to push them. I am open to their reactions so that we can find an answer and a solution. I don't want them to go to church, but I want them to like it. Well, every time after church we buy something, um, a snack, go for a walk, that is, we combine it with something nice. When they were little they took toys to church that they liked. I have related articles on the blog, um about the church and the children and on Instagram I think I have put some related. Well, in general these. I have no reactions from those around me because both my husband's family and mine are in the church. So as far as grandparents are concerned, we don't have a problem. The others do not react. You can tell they think differently. Our friends go to church so like I said it's none of my business and I don't care what the other person might think. So I definitely feel very lucky in this too because I have heard of cases where the parents they react a lot with children who go to church and send their own children to church. But thank God we don't have such issues. Next question. It has some elements in common with the previous Let's see them. I would like to know a little more about you, but in general, whatever makes you feel comfortable and you want to share with us. How do you pass the subject of faith on to your children? How do they deal with it? It is based on the subject of belonging according to our faith. I am very happy, however, to see that in our time there are families with deep faith in God. It is the best thing we can do to teach our children love and faith in God. I am a struggling mother of eight children with the same anxieties and occupations as you. I am very happy to see your videos and through them you talk about our faith without being ashamed. Praise be to God. First of all, long live your children, enjoy them. Well, from here on I mentioned some things about myself. Um, and the thing about the kids too. Now how they deal with it in general , embia, I try to be open to their doubts and their questions and answer them. That is, not to say that this is the end. From then on they have an epic with their spiritual that they can ask him. Whatever they ask me and I don't know what to answer them, I also ask my spiritual one to give me a contribution and of course I also discuss with my husband about serious issues how to deal with them. Um, in general, however, they are positive. Um so I just hope they stay in the church and growing no matter what they choose to do with their lives. In terms of clothing, I think this is mostly aimed at girls, because boys have very specific choices I think. Um, I'm trying not to push my daughter. Well, he wears pants on a daily basis. We avoid close ones. Well, of course she likes short shorts and wears them now and then. I haven't bought them , but they bring us clothes. I usually try to chase them away before he sees them. But from the facts, someone sees them. Um, at church of course I won't allow her to wear shorts, but she's never asked or wanted to either. Um, I'm not pressuring her to wear a dress. Especially in pleas and such. If she doesn't feel like it, I'll let her come with the tights. On Sundays she wears a dress by herself. Um, these. He sees how I give myself. He has never asked for something extreme, let's say to make me feel some stress. Except the shorts as extreme as can be considered for a little girl. I don't want, as I said, to push her. I don't know where the limits are and if I'm doing well, but that's what I'm doing. Next question. Good morning. It would be interesting to tell about your journey through the pregnancies and how you experienced them spiritually Um, with my first I didn't do anything special. Then I started reading a book to my daughter, which I think was by Saint Porphyry, which said that it is good to say the wish from pregnancy and even to try through our way of life to pass on to the child some experiences and hearings. This may be redundant to some and I was until I read these. So that's what I changed to my daughter and that's what I did to the little one. The spiritualist also advised me to take communion as often as I can. So I was trying to do that as well and just keep doing what I'm doing. To read spiritual books and pray for the children even from the time they were in the womb. And from there on, you know the rest. Next question. How different interests and demands of different children combine and how priorities come into it. As for the boys they are twins as I said and generally want to be together. So even if they have slightly different interests in some cases they don't want to be separated in ktalp activities and at the same time they have a way of passing on each other's love for what they have, if I may say so. So it's a lot of things they do together and now they include my daughter in it to a great extent. My daughter because she is the only girl in the family and because it was a bit difficult for her that the boy came again because he wanted a girl, I try as much as I can i can spend time with her. I see he needs it more. Um, we talk, we choose together the clothes she likes to buy. Also, she always liked small children. He found them very cute. So now with the little one she likes to engage with him and play. And beyond that, what we can't offer, the experts can offer it to them in the winter with activities like for example in football, I can't help them there. All I did was watch games on TV because they really liked it this year. That's about the interests. I don't know if I covered you but it's something I've discussed before. Now as far as their needs are concerned, the truth is that the three older children are quite independent. I need to prepare food for them, but even that they can make breakfast by themselves. They can make a toast by themselves. So it's not like they want me over their heads all the time looking after them. The three oldest. Well, the little one needs me more of course. Because he really likes to be with adults and because they are also very careful with him. That is, if he is with him in the field, I am not stressed. they watch him not to fall, not to leave. So in this too I am quite a bit calmer compared to how I am when the children are at school and I am alone with the little one. Of course he has more needs. Of course I will deal more with him in terms of practicals. But beyond that I think we have a good balance. How many times have I had to deal with the little one and not be able to deal with the adults and they need me for something. Of course I will tell them I can't now a little later. But I make sure to keep this later. In other words, once I'm done with the little one, I won't forget it or neglect it. I will go and ask what they wanted because many times they may just want to share something. They may have solved their issue naturally on their own or with the help of their dad. But from then on I make sure they understand that yes I do remember. Yes, I care and I don't forget you. We continue with a similar question. My dear, it would be interesting if you could tell us how you spend creative and pleasant time with the children at home. Also, a video of recommended books for us and our children would be interesting. Well, I think I answered. Well, I have a related video and a related article, I think, about creative time with children and other books, especially children's books in shorts a little later, which we will get back into the program. Well, I think there are still two or three left. Sorry if I tired you. Good morning Mrs. Irene. I would like to ask you how the children's program is shaped in general, but also with the opening of the schools, study activities at home. B.C. all the children read together. Do you help them with all their studying or do they just study and then come and examine them. What is the most suitable time to study Thank you very much. Well, that depends on the child, on the class, on the length of the year. I think I confused you, but we'll clear it up. They had tough classes this year. We had third and fifth which are both considered difficult. The good thing is that the boys are in one department. There is no second in the school. So at least we have the same to read. As a matter of fact at the beginning of the year they need our help the most to get into the new flow. To adapt to the new courses. To understand that they have understood how the school and their teacher work . Because every year in this school they change the teacher. Again, we adapt based on the needs of each child during the year. The goal, of course, is for them to learn to read on their own and to come and tell us about it. This is not always possible, but in the middle of the year and beyond it is easier. Usually by Christmas they need us to be closer to them. My husband helps a lot with this too. We usually start in the dining room all together and from there we separate. Either when they start talking to each other or if someone can't concentrate because someone else is talking or to examine someone or to answer a question. As far as activities go, I know I won't agree very much on this, but we keep them as limited as possible. Children also need rest. Going to an activity to have fun is important. But at the same time, it can end up being more stressful because they have to catch up on school lessons , many times their study is interrupted in the middle to go to the activity, they have to get back into a program when they are tired. All this often disrupts them instead of helping them. We live in an area where, thank God, we can go for a walk. We can go out in nature, play, have fun. So I don't think it's always necessary to do everything. In any case I find it very beneficial for them to go out and have a break. Thank God because I'm at home I can do it. Many times we can do it as a family all together. So we choose this. So English which is necessary but we are also thinking about the possibility of the special because it is much more convenient and much more relaxing for the children and an activity that they will choose. That's it for the whole week. The rest is family time. time to relax and focus on their school. The most suitable time for studying is considered by all teachers to be midday, i.e. half an hour of rest and relaxation after school, eating and then reading. All teachers say this. I realize that it helps both us and the kids to pack up, finish faster and not have stress for both them and us after the evening when we will be tired. After that, because I myself remember how well I read at night when I was a student, I realized that my mind was working much more clearly for some reason. I know very well that the times are different for every child. Simply, as I said for practical reasons ideally it is midday shortly after resting. We continue. Good evening Irene. First of all, I'm looking forward to the new video. If I don't embarrass you, I would like to ask your opinion about the over-consumerism in this day and age and the false needs they have created for us. How do you deal with it? Also, I would like to ask how you deal with secularism. Thank you very much. Like I said, I try to be very thoughtful and careful with the new things I bring home. It is much easier for me as the years go by to know what is really necessary for me and not necessarily only a practical need, but also a psychological one, for example various decorations are not needed. I like them though. I just make sure I don't go overboard on what I buy. Everything I buy I know where it will go in my house and that helps me a lot and I don't make impulse purchases. As for the secular attitude, I know it may sound strange, but I find that in this day and age it is easier with the net to go where one likes the most. You can find very good accounts on Instagram. You can find YouTube channels where they show prayers, talks, many things and you can find communities and groups that help you focus on what you like and don't like others. All the other things I mentioned of course, going to church, going to confession and taking communion as regularly as I can and these help to have a good flow in my spiritual life. And of course I socialize as much as I can with people who believe the same things. It helps a lot to know that there are others who are facing the same difficulties as you. I know this is not easy for everyone. We try to adhere to it as much as we can. Well, I don't know if I answered your question now. If you meant something else and if there was something else you were expecting to hear, let me know below in the comments and I'll try to answer. The next question is in English and is quite long. I will not read all of her, while I will say a little that she is a mother with a child with special needs who had many difficulties in her life. she had to go abroad, she had to work and she refers to the difficulties between the couple arising from all this and that she was criticized for raising a child with special needs needs and she agreed to keep it also because she decided to stay at home and not work since she wanted to meet the needs of her child. The question is what contribution would I give to couples so that they can face the difficulties and not give up. Well, what I can say from my own experience is that it takes effort from both sides and a common mind helps a lot. I know not everyone goes to church. But personally, it helped me a lot, especially at the beginning, to be able to put together a good series as a couple so that we can face the difficulties. Discussion. mutual respect, mutual understanding and cultivation of love. Something that never ends. Another question I would like you to tell us if you do any activity outside the home and what your interests are. You are great, keep it up. Well, I don't do anything outside the house. I am a homebody and I make sure that my house is decorated in such a way that I like to stay at home. Um, I also like to go to nature. This is what we do outside the house. The excursions we take in nature, the walks with the children. These. Beyond that, as far as my interests go, it's exactly what you see in the videos and what I show in the blog articles, because that's where I put more. Decoration, carpentry, sewing. I also really like to deal with the organization of the house. It also relaxes me by decluttering, i.e. organizing and getting rid of unnecessary things at home. The things I don't particularly like about housekeeping are cooking and cleaning. I know it might sound weird, but one reason you see simple recipes on my blog and here is because I don't like to cook that much. Some things that I find so interesting and special I do them, but the truth is that I get quite bored with everyday cooking. That's why I'm trying to find ways to like him more and that's why I'm glad that my husband helps me a lot in this too. Well, I really like working with dough. I really like making pizzas, sourdough, bread. I'm really enjoying this whole process and I think we're done. I hope I covered you all. Thank you very much for your questions. They were very interesting. I hope I didn't bore you. The video is of course quite long, but I wanted to answer everyone as much as possible. Thank you so much for being here, especially if you stayed until the end. We will meet again soon. Hello .
