Money concept

Aarushi oneday asked me for a 100HKD note I was putting back in my purse. I told her you need to earn money, like papa works hard and gets money for the hardwork, Aunty Pam helps us at home and so she gets money.
Several weeks later I was dusting the bed and changing the bed sheet - I called Pam to help me fold up the bedsheet - Aarushi came running at top speed, 'Mamma I want to help, I want to help....' For a moment I was happy she wanted to take part in household chores - but then came the addendum '....then I can earn some money, right?'

Sibling Rivalry

I keep hoping things will get better and I am very inspired when things occassionally look bright, but right now Aarushi wants Arunav out of the house. Yesterday he fell down and badly hurt his nose - I went and was giving him water when Aarushi just flew in and pulled me out - she kept crying,'no no no...' Poor thing! I get upset when she does that but I feel more sad at how it must be hurting her. Arunav was equally jealous of her when he was this age - little did I know the whole thing would resurface when Aarushi 'came of age'!!
