Raising child I went to my friends house today. She has two kids. They are very active! I asked her what the hardest part of raising child is. (or was? Do i need to use past tense even if i'd like to ask present situation? Because of "asked") She said she had to take care of kids all day and they couldn't follow her so she was very tired everyday. I played with them and I understood what she meant although it was just for 5 hours.

Raising children

I went to my friends house today.
She has two kids. They are very active!
I asked her what the hardest part of raising a child is.
She said she had to take care of kids all day and they (always?) follow her so she was very tired everyday. I played with them and I understood what she meant although it was just for 5 hours.


Hello, I am on my phone so I cannot use the highlighting tools, sorry.

If your friend is still raising children then 'is' can be used, since you asked the question in the past, but the children are still being raised now.

The final part is a bit difficult for me to understand. Did you mean she is with the children all day and they always follow her?

Raising children sure seems like hard work doesn't it? ^-^
