christine, it’s a balancing act talaga!

jet, mismo! it’s not as if there’s any choice. it’s very difficult not to go along with the system. altho on a positive note, the system itself is changing naman daw.

And it's not like you can choose not to keep up with it on the home front either (for want of maybe giving him an alternative climate) without risk of Jan turning out an underachiever in school. Seems like a vicious cycle. I do hope you will find another alternative for Jan.

Am i giving her the best there is? Here kasi sa NZ, the approach is soooo laid back (for me naman, feeling ko over laid back), i think striking the balance between allowing your children to grow and learn at their own pace with encouragement from the parents can be a happy medium. Easier said than done though! Thank God for Simon. He keeps me grounded when I fret about Bea and all. He always reminds me "Let her be a child" :-) amen to the articles, ruthie…i have been personally battling with my parenting abilities — am i doing enough for Bea? Am i giving her the best there is?

Isa pa sa reason e sobrang mahal na ng flats dito, pero ang salary increase naman ang liit. That’s one of the reason why we’re planning to migrate to OZ.
