Tips for request with Kumanthong and kumaree:
Please specify clearly. How much money you needed, timeline and most importantly (ask for something is possible). However, everything depends on their own luck. When your wish came true, you had to hurry to make amends for the children.
Give them food (rice, milk, red juice every Buddhist holy day or once a week, not including snacks or toys).
When you wish for something, need to give them only snacks or toys as promised (depend what you tell them). We will not raise our children in a very indulgent manner, such as always buying snacks and toys for them. Even you didn’t make a wish and give them snacks and toys. Because children will get used to it and no need to help parents with work. And they will get everything.
