Learning any language can be valuable, but it is not suitable for everyone. Chinese is a difficult language to learn, and teachers in the UK are not good at teaching foreign languages. However, China is a big and developing market for English business people. For them, Chinese is worth learning. Bill (the US)

And not just when we are sick. I'm talking about putting ourselves first in other ways.

These selfish moments are good ways to teach our children that we are important too. When you ask my kids \favorite things: reading books, watching movies, taking care of animals and them. They often see me do the things I enjoy, so they understand me and would stay with Dad. This understanding is good for our children. \it's time to be a little selfish, Moms.
