On Having More Kids

Topaz Mommy wrote about one's fear of loving another child. It was never an issue for me.  There is always the capacity to love more.  My issue was giving each child enough attention and guidance. Could I handle it? With all these thongs happening in my life, how can I balance motherhood, being a wife, a business person and being myself? I try not to have favorites. I try to treat each child the same way. However, due to difference in personalities and birth order, I really feel that I am prone to have a favorite. Favorite pagalitan, favorite kilitin, et al.  Now that there's another baby coming, I worry again. How can I become a responsible parent to these blessings?  Only God can tell.  I am comforted by the fact that my kids love each other the way we showed them.  Seeing how these kids care for each other (when they are not fighting) tells me that I must be on the right track. 

TYG!

I am glad that exam week is over.  Johann just stepped into the Big School and here I am feeling pressured to instill all the concepts and good study habits in him.  It has been a week of strict discipline, self-control, and intense time-management.  My patience and tolerance levels have been tried and tested several times.   Admittedly, I feel that his failure to do well in school is a failure on my part too. Since we haven't gotten the complete test results, I can not celebrate just yet.  But when the time comes, Johann wont be the only one getting a reward. Now, when I think about rewards, these are what I have in mind... I can just imagine Vic shuddering at the sight of those bags.
