(they look after them carefully. if they fall over they look after them, if they are crying they breastfeed them, they clean them when they are dirty and they put them down to sleep. when they get big they do garden work)

(yeah we can't breast feed so we look after nating. if mum has gone on a food road the dad will take the baby. if the baby cries he can't feed it so he just walks around with it, dads show them an interesting tree or something. do dads clean dirty babies? yes they wash them in the water and if they are sleepy put them in a bilum and carry it on their heads and walk around till the baby sleeps.

(if its a close garden then they'll go with, but if it's a far away garden they won't because they're small, they'll fall down or take ages so they stay at home. so for far away gardens you carry them? yes we carry them and then they go plant. mum will carry back the food and dad will carry the kids)

5: 0:05:52
(our kids oscar's size don't do garden work. they go the garden and play. do those kids follow their parents or stay home? some follow their parents, some if they are les stay at home and play. if mum says they're going to a far away garden and the kid is les he'll stay home and play ball or something.)
