How do I create a happy household? I think the most important thing that I did was have a conversation with my wife about what´s going to make her happy because we all know the rule: Happy Wife, Happy Life. And seriously, I mean I honestly believe that answer to be true but also my wife and I sat down and said what can we do to make our household a happier place for everybody, not just our kids but for us. And for us, what that really meant was getting some help at home. And I do not think it really matters what your income level is, I think that the only thing that makes a difference how much help you can get. But I think there are times when everybody could use a hand at home whether it just be in organization or help with the kids or in just managing everything that goes on in the life. I mean running a family nowadays is really like running a business and I don´t know a single business in this world that is really successful that is run with just one employee. I mean everybody needs help and so for us the most important thing was to get somebody in our house that could help us.
