Divorce is the biggest drain, outside of school fees, and nobody wins. People think it is always in the woman's favour, but it is not necessarily.

The first rule of management is delegation. Don't try and do everything yourself because you can't.

Whether it's cushions you only use outside in the summer, or blankets that only come out in the winter, you've always got to think of where to store them.

If you are a housewife, take pride in that.

Rearranging furniture, adding some candles, or making even small tweaks can really make the difference.

I believe the things that happened to me as a child scarred me terribly, and I wish somebody would have helped me with some of the things that happened.

I'm gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well

It never seemed fair that just when you're old enough to do anything you want, you can't. You have to start working, so there's no time. And if there is time, you're not working, so there's no money.

Nothing gained without cost is valued. Freedom has a cost, and all will bear it so all will value and preserve it.
