    Diciplina lang ang katapat niyan, you can't always give them what they want, or they'll end up becoming spoiled brats... may kilala ako magkapatid, yung isa 10 yrs old, his older brother is 17, sobrang spoiled yung 10 yrs old, yung 17 yrs old deciplined at isang salita lang sumusunod unlike his brother na sumasagot pa...

    my kids makes my day complete even after a hard days-work... iba yung saya na binibigay ng mga anak ko sakin... i always make it a point to give them enough time everyday to play, to care or just lie down beside them...

    When we got married parang ilang ako sa idea of having kids agad. Syempre enjoy muna married life diba? Pero curious na rin ako kung kanino kamukha. Ayun naging honeymoon baby tuloy hehe :D

    I can relate to "nawawala ang pagod pag-uwi sa bahay." Kahit na nasabon sa opisina, naipit sa trafik, may nakaaway na jeepney driver, may bote pang i-sterilize, diaper na papalitan, pwet na huhugasan, atbp, nawawala pagod ko when I see my son's two lower front teeth exposed by a silly ear to ear grin. My son also helps a lot in patching up marital disputes kasi my wife and I know that we have to be strong for him.

    BTW, halo features nya. Ulo tsaka noo akin. Buti na lang mukha kay misis hehe.

    So true.

    Sila ang dahilan kung bakit ako nagpapakahirap dito hu hu hu! Sarap ng buhay ko sa Pinas. But no regrets because I believe my kids have a better future here in NZ. Just kissing and hugging me after coming home from work is more than enough, tangal na lahat ng pagod, puede na uling magovertime or lumagare sa part time work he he he.

    For us, we waited for five years bago kami nagplano magkaron ng baby. Yung first pregnancy ni misis, nagkaron siya ng miscarriage then we tried again and it took two years bago nabuntis uli si misis. Muntik pang makunan uli buti naagapan, pero bed rest si misis for six months. Our first baby was a boy and is now 6.5yo, then nasundan uli ng girl after two years.

    All I can say is, I'm so much happy blessed with two lively, healthy, and smart kids.

    We planned to have a baby around 6 months after we got married. My wife got pregnant 3 months after our wedding.

    I guess it was somewhat planned but not rigidly planned. We were happy and at the same time anxious that our lives would never be the same again.

    Now that our son is almost two, we look at him with awe at how much he's grown. I can't even imagine not being a daddy. We are so happy he came into our lives.

    At first, I never could imagine myself being a Daddy but then when I clutched our princess for the first time I just felt this very light feeling inside...pure bliss! We are looking forward to having more

    why do i have kids??

    being a woman...i think its the pinnacle(spell?)...the ultimate goal...to bear your husband's children..

    the funny thing is...when i was young til before i got married...i hate little kids..wala akong pasensha...i dont even hold them...

    i was the first to get married...and the first baby i was able to cradle is my own son...di pa ko marunong...but when i held him..ibang iba..kako...walang ibang pwedeng humawak sayo...ako lang....and so i did...i gave up my job to take care of them...

    it's ok to enjoy your life now..ideally..ganyan naman talaga dapat...to be able to get to know each other better w/o the hassles of parenting...

    BUT...at the end of the day...you'll find yourself looking for an ultimate direction...a focus...and surely...after that you'll probabaly decide to have one.

    i used to love kids even when i'm not married yet. all my nephews and niece naranasan kong alagaan kaya naman ng magkaanak na kami ng misis ko medyo sanay na rin sa paghawak at pag-aalaga ng bata. i'm the eldest but i'm the last one to get married. during my vacation lang ako nagkakaroon ng chance alagaan mga anak ko, that's why i make sure na i'm always with them all the time i had. we go out, eat and played together with my wife. all what i have is for them. they are my treasures.

    +1 ako ako sa halos lahat ng nasabi mo lalo na dun sa kung sino kamukha hehehehe. we almost had a honeymoon baby kaso no heartbeat kata ndi natuloy. then the follwing pregnancy eh blighted ovum. third one is a lucky one. baba (chin) nakuha sa akin ni baby. pati nanay ko eh nagconcede na hehehe.

    yung diaper, sterilize, etc. is very true.
