On top of that, you don’t have to worry about the chocolate blooming and getting that dusty appearance because the wafers are made to melt. That said, you can also use regular chocolate for this type of decorating, although having a bit of extra chocolate-handling experience will come in handy to ensure a perfect result if you choose to go this route.

We have 6 children all under 10 years old the youngest just turned 1. My wife is a Doctor here in Brisbane Australia. I have been a stay home dad for close to 10 years now and by now should be used to it..IM NOT! It's a damn hard job sometimes. I do all the school drop off and pick ups / most of the housework and cooking. We have a housekeeper who comes in on the afternoons to help but I end up listening to her marital problems most of the time. It's a lonely job and my social skills are declining by the minute as I have little "human" contact outside home. When we do go out on the rare occasion I find myself hugging the wall and avoiding eye contact for fear of getting drawn into conversations that dont involve the latest episodes of Sesame Street or Rugrats. Im now in my late 40's and any prospects I have of going back to work in the real world seem slim. HELP! Hi,

I earn the money and get to come home and do all cooking and cleaning. Children are badly cared for. I cannot get him to go back to work. I would be very careful about entering into this arrangement.
