If, like me, you are married to a gamer, you’ll likely find yourself either very free to do whatever you want or you’ll be bogged down with all the household chores and child-raising by...
Sulaiman, Ayub and I have hand-foot-and-mouth disease. I caught it early and had been treating their symptoms before the official diagnosis so there’s nothing to be alarmed about.
