Where’s my baby?!
When my bunso was a few months old, nag-panic ako. “NASAAN ‘YUNG BABY!” Lahat ng kasama ko sa bahay hindi nila karga tapos wala naman sa crib. Una, na-shock sila kasi lakas ng boses ko parang may sunog, sabay nag-tawanan sila. Paano, yung baby ko, nag-b-breastfeed pala sa akin that time. — Gelai Paruli Regis
Mixed feeding
I have a 1-year-old and a 6-month-old. Whenever they ask for milk, I feel like I’m a barista fulfilling their orders. And just like a barista, sometimes, I also fail at getting the orders right. I’ve given formula meant for my 6-month-old to my 1-year-old and vice-versa! #sabawmoment — Mabelle Lim
Getting ready for school
Maaga pasok ng anak ko so inayos ko siya and pumasok na siya. Bumalik ako sa pagtulog nang bigla akong nagising at hinahanap ko anak ko! Akala ko tinanghali ako ng gising at late na siya…naalala ko nakapasok na nga pala siya. — Thezsa Alviar

Ready for solids
Pinapakain ko panganay ko na 3 years old, tapos hawak naman ng kapatid ko sa gilid ko ang 2-month-old kong anak. Subo ako ng subo ayaw ngumanga! Biglang lapit ng panganay ko, doon ko lang narealize na ‘yung 2-month-old pala sinusubuan ko. Kaya pala ayaw ibuka ang bibig. — Jemmafe Cardeño
Peek-a-boo!
When my son was a few months old, nakadapa kami sa kama playing peek-a-book. Kunyari natutulog ako, sabay didilat at gugulatin siya. Ang lakas ng tawa niya! Until natuluyan akong nakatulog. Pagkagising ko, napabalikwas ako ng bangon sabay hanap sa baby ko! Ayun pala, nakatulog din siya nakadapa sa tabi ko. — Jemma Car
Too early for school
When my three kids were in high school, ginising ko silang tatlo para mag-prepare na for school. Sunod naman sila kahit antok na antok pa. Kain, ligo, bihis! Biglang pumasok ‘yung friend nila na nasa tapat lang ng bahay namin. Ang aga ko raw gumising at bakit naka-uniform na mga anak ko. Sumagot pa ako, “Papasok na, ano pa ba?” Bigla siya tumawa sabi sa akin, “Seryoso, tita? Ala-una pa lang ng madaling araw!” — Winette Dela Torre
