We don't reach any real conclusions though.

- Is it hard to work while doing your housework?
"My job is not so busy, but it's hard to manage both."

- What's the key?
" To balance between what I can do without too much effort and what I need to do carefully. And of course, taking a break. That's why I'm with her. We often get together and chat. We don't reach any real conclusions though. It has been 10 years since we met. "
"We seem like we're totally different from each other, but we have similar personalities."
"Yeah. We get nervous very easily and our minds go blank. You know, we always forget those Chinese characters."
"Exactly. I can't remember the easy ones."

- How can you maintain a good relationship between your husband?
"I always respect him. We can only make a living, because he works very hard. And it's not easy to work, you know. I want my daughters to be a hard worker, but as long as you work outside home, you need to have a person who support your life inside. So I recognize how I'm doing my best to support him, while I still admire his effort."
