Rather than teaching their kids how to handle life, the parents seem to want to never let the child leave. No one teaches them how to talk to other people (a representative from their business would always transact on their behalf for even the simplest things like LTO, BIR, SSS, etc.). Up to now they have to wait for an 'electrician' to replace busted lightbulbs. :lol:

I really appreciate growing up in an environment where my parents were just like good pals. When kimpOy saw my dad, he though my dad was my kuya.


This is also what my parents keep telling me. I think they've been telling me this since I was in high school. Probably because they had to go through the hardships of 'nakikitira' during the first few years of their married life.
Well you know, they're parents. They will do what they think is best. It could be a pain sometimes like in my case. Even so, I know my mom only wanted to do what she thinks is best for me. I do have her blood. So, I'm equally stubborn in living my own life.

Being a parent myself, I may see myself in my parents' shoes years from now. I keep telling my daughter, "When you're 18, you're out the door". Of course, I'm just saying that. She can stay with us as long as she wants once she becomes an adult. But, we'll always be ready to help her out when she does move out.
