But, you see, women needs to speak 2,500 words a day; where in the world she will find that much vocabulary if she doesn't go out. peace!!!  Men, just let them talk to finish early.

Kaya suggestion ko sa mga women out there... mag-teacher na lang tayo. Tingnan lang natin kung meron pa rin tayong desire (o energy) to talk after spending 8 hours of non-stop talking sa school. LOL

Pag nagger pa rin tayo after a day's work (especially pag elementary tinuturuan mo), there must be something wrong medically. Pa-check up na tayo sa doktor niyan! 

Peace din! Pero agree ako sa last statement,  "Men, just let them talk to finish early."

I do believe that mom should stay at home sa early stage ng bata. I can't afford to let the nanny raise my child during those crucial times of development. I gave up my career in cooking to raise my 3yr old daughter. But I will be cooking again when she's old enough
and her values are strong enough to face this cruel world.
Peace.

[Madam H]

Wow, Eien! That's great!

I'm sure many Moms envy you. Good to know that despite the fact that women are more career-oriented nowadays,there are still those who opt to be stay-at-home-moms!

[ro_se]

oo naman, i wished that for me in the future gusto ko ako mismo magaalaga sa anak ko 24/7 until such time na maintindihan niya that mommy needs to work too.

[bearbear]

i believe that a mother can't have the best of both worlds.

there's always a trade-off.

she would probably be a good mother, but she might be spreading herself too thinly at work.

she might be doing great in her career but might be leaving her child to the yaya most of the day.

[Madam H]

ms_a and bearbear, tahnks for sharing your thoughts here...

I think some of us find ourselves in a difficult situation, when we are already working and then we decide to grow a family, and to cater the needs of the kids, you have to choose to work to help out in teh finances.

For young Pinays right now who are not yet married, I hope they will be wise enough to choose which would best work for them - to be a stay-at-home mom, or to build a career while raising a family.

In all fairness, I believe most Pinay moms are doing grea when they have to balance both worlds. But you're right, bearbear, there will always be trade-offs.

Having a nice career lead me to a bad choice.

My husband and I compromised not to have a child during the first 2 years of our marriage due to my career. When the time I was ready to have one, no one comes. We are in our 7th year without baby yet. I have decided to give up my career hoping we can have one.

I miss working especially I was with Marketing and Consultancy, always surrounded with people.

But I am still happy... I still have salary from my husband hehehe

Base on my present situation the most difficult things to all working moms like me is to do all things at the same time (career and gamily)...as a career mother ang hirap talaga mag stay at home to cope all your resposibilities as a mom and wife ... para na tayong namili ng career or family diba which is di naman talaga kailangan kc taung mga moms may super powers from our creator..hehehe?

BUT I still do believe in stay at home moms like the way i was (long time ago).... however to think the fact now na pahirap na ng pahirap ang buhay we cant do anything just to help our husband to work to raise your family together..though mas hectic parin talaga ang schedule ng mom kc tau ang magpe-prepare ng food, things ng children natin before they go to school at idagdag pa ung husband natin.... pero ung happiness after natin gawin ang mga reponsibilities na un with all our heart kc mahal natin cla ay hindi parin mapapalitan ng kinikita natin sa work natin diba?... Kakaingit nga ung mga moms na pwedeng mag stay at home nalang wait their kids and husband at home ...

I used to have nanny for my youngest daughter, she was born here in Phuket but i always make sure na pagdating ko from office i will spend my whole night with her..talking to her, watching cartoons together and  reading a books...until such time thats she already understand why her mom needs to leave her with her nanny on her early age and leave her at nursery school. So in my own opinion i still do believe in stay at home moms in other way

Parang time management din yan eh and it doesnt have to be at home 24/7...make sure na hindi u nagagamit ang extra time mo sa front ng computer instead of spending ur xtra tym with d kids same thing with ur husband ... hehehe ...tabi tabi po....

tama ba?...hehe

For me, spending your full time at home with the kids doesn't always constitute to being a Good Mom (or Parent). You can have a full time work but still be a good, responsible parent.

At this day and age, it is almost a given fact that both parents have to work in order to provide a comfortable life to their family especially with the high cost of living. Luckily, we Filipinos have a very close family ties that is why in most cases our parents or close relative for that matter take care of the kids while we are in the office. I see no problem with this set-up.

At this stage, I casually talk to my GF na pag natuloy at magkaroon kami ng pamilya I will not stop her from working if she wants to kasi meron talaga na ayaw naman maburo sa bahay.

I believe what Parents have to do is to spend quality time with their kids whenever they can. No matter how tired we are in the office, it is a must to spend some time with kids at night before going to bed to catch up with that day's activity or early in the morning the following day before rushing off to the office. Moreover, weekends should be considered a family day. Ang nangyayari kasi ngayon mas nagiging close pa ang mga bata sa mga kasama sa bahay kaysa sa Magulang partly because pag weekends karamihan sa working parents natutulog maghapon or naka babad sa TV cos it is their only "rest day". Nakakalimutan na kailangan pa mag duty sa mga anak..

Being a parent I guess is the toughest job in the world but the reward is great if the Child grow up to be a responsible, God-fearing and compassionate individual.
