My wife Well, I'll be taking about my wife, with whom I spend most of my leisure time with. Anyway we were born and raised in the same small village in southern China, and she is 3 years younger than me. Since childhood, we've been close friends. So we know her like the back of my hand, and vice versa. Well, I've been preparing for the IELTS test over the past half year in my hometown. To avoid being disturbed by my children, I rent another place, which is away from my home, for my study. To make the most of my time, I only go home for meals. After eating something, we normally spend some time chatting. What we usually talk about is something interesting reported in the media. Of course, we are interested in how to nurture and raise our children. Well, on this issue, we sometimes have totally different views because of our distinctive personal traits. She tends to be strict with them, while I prefer to give them more freedom due to the influence of western culture on me. In spite of fact that she's the family member I spend most of my free time with, it is no enough, in my opinion. But the problem is we both have our own responsibilities. I mean I have to devote most of time to English study for immigration purpose, and she is responsible for taking care of our kids. Maybe we'll have more time together in the future.

I believe that your dream will come true and you'll have more time to spend with your family. It's uncommon for me that your wife tends to be strict. In my country fathers are stricter. But it depends what you mean by strict. If she insists that children should go to bed at 9 p.m. Then we have the same tendency: mothers are order makers and keepers.
