Parent Chat

Happened a lot on my FB especially with some acquaintances. Frankly, I don’t feel anything. I can’t force him/her to look at or read my posts and like or dislike them.

Pero kung close friend ko talaga, I’d probably ask if there is something wrong.

I used to save them all in my account. But when they turned 7, I had a kiddie account opened in their own names. I transfered all the monetary gifts to their accounts complete with the names of where they come from (passbook account kasi)

Now that my eldest is 15, whenever she receives cash gifts, she’d spend them. My youngest, who is already 11, still lets me deposit her cash gifts to her account. So it’s their decision now

I didn’t know I was pregnant then nung nagpa-xray ako for our office’s annual physical exam. I already had two daughters and we didn’t plan on having another one. My youngest was already 7 years old then.

When I found out, I went to my OB immediately and told her about the xray. She gave me “pampakapit” maybe because of the radiation I got, and we had a lot of travel plans for the coming months.

At 8 weeks, and during my monthly check-up, we didn’t hear a hearbeat. So my OB suggested whether to have an ultrasound or we’ll just wait on my next check up. Hubby and I said, we’ll just wait.

Yon pala, wala naman talagang hearbeat because it stopped beating raw. Sabi nung nag-ultrasound sa akin when I had spotting na after 3 weeks on my 11th week.

So imagine, he/she was inside my tummy, with no heartbeat, for 3 weeks already until I bled and had a D & C.

It wasn’t hard for us to accept, kasi we believe, it was not meant for us. My body was not prepared. we were not prepared. And we just put in our minds that we already have an angel up above. Meron na nga syang name.

Our friends were telling us “sana boy na yan.” In my mind I was thinking “sana normal sya.”  So we were just thinking na baka nga may defect sya kasi nagpa-xray ako, and we were just thankful that God and His mysterious ways made all this things happen for us to learn something.

Hi!

I can relate to your wife coz we used to live with my MIL too.

If you don't want to burden her, then I believe you should talk to your mother about this.  You should make her understand that you are starting your own life with your spouse and that she and your wife are different. 

Believe me, respectful as I am towards my MIL, don't wait for your wife to get agitated and confront your mother herself.  Because I did that when I got fed up.  And that was not a pleasant thing that happened between me.  Somehow, my husband was also affected with the indifference between me and his mom.

Until now, that my kids are 12 and 9 years old, my MIL does not have any photo in the albums of my kids nor on FB or any social media.  We have patched up, wounds have healed, but scars remain forever.

I hope this helps.

If I were in your shoes, RIOT na! For sure, bingi na si yaya.  Sobrang pakialamera na yan.

Hubby bought a cellphone for our elder daughter when she was in Grade 3 since we stopped having a yaya look after her in school. She needed the phone to text ask when she needed something or needed to be fetched.   


I emphasized that she is not allowed to use the phone for other purposes aside from communicating with us and other family members such as grandparents, cousins, as well as, some teachers. She can only message her classmates for school-related activities.


I do the monitoring by controlling her load balance.

I cannot remember the bleeding, but I can vividly remember the headache!    Super painful, that it left me bedridden for days. Just as my OB had advised, I would have headache every time I get up. So I had to lie flat on my back, drink coffee, and sleep.
