(we do the same. We wash them and give them things and kiss them)
2.
(we play with our kids, but when they get big and have their own thinking they go themselves. If they do something bad we cross them. When they get big we tell them to do work. We show them to work we do and they do it. Things like getting water, getting fire wood, they do that. We give them little things that aren't worth lots of money. We don't know how to show them literacy, you guys will do that, we'll show how to plant gardens.

What do you guys do when you like kids?
We play with them, kiss them and hold them. We don't muss their hair)

(we like our firstborn son,and 2 and 3, but when we get lots of kids we start to think that we're les. If one of them doesn't listen to what we say we're les, we like the ones that listen. Mum and Dad tell them if they listen they'll like them and if they don't they won't.
Steve tells about Jabob Esau.
Some of us might do that. Kavaluku stories about 2 of his sons - or maybe he's adapting the Jacob, Esau story?, 1 who works hard and catches meat, plants garden and gives rice and 1 who just goes around. He's wanbel with the hard working one and not so much with the lazy one.)
5.
(Kids go around with both parents, but they don't always do the work because they are les.
So you go around together, when you get home is work divided? Yes, guys cut trees and girls weed. Dads show off men's work and mums show off womens work.)
6.
(daughters get married and go to live in the guy's place. We go to visit quick visits, maybe do some work. My daughter married in Kobumbua, I go there work and come back up. It's like that with daughters, sons stay close)
(when daughters marry there is a big feast in the guy's place and the parents get to eat meat, It's a wanbel for the hard work. The pengam? Yeah that.
What do sons do to look after parents?
Sons stay with their parents and so they don't do one thing. They garden and hunt and if they think about wanbel they do that, kill big pigs, work for money, build fences, build houses and wanbel is there.)
