My Parenting Style

With numerous resources out there, I do not really know if I am doing the right thing.  There are methodologies that I can not fully grasp, let alone apply in real life. 

Am I being to hard on my children?  Am I neglecting their needs?  Am I being too strict? 

I apply what is tried and tested.  I use the method that was applied to me.  I try to raise my children exposed to the reality that is out there.  I do not pamper them nor do I protect them from what is necessary.  They are exposed to hard work and chores.  They have their own anxieties.

I do not have a career to speak off.  My children are my laurels.  To be told that they are nice and capable individuals is like receiving an Academy Award for parenting. 

Di ako nagtataas ng bangko.  I am just grateful that the hard work is starting to pay off.  But, we still have a long way to go.  The hard work continues.

I must've visited almost all reseller shops I've seen on the road.  I've noticed that these shops carry the top 3 popular ones:  Hermes, Chanel and Louis Vuitton.  There still are several pieces of Balenciaga, Valentino, Tory Burch, Celine, Gucci and Michael Kors but not as abundant as the top 3.  I guess what carries the most value are the three popular ones. If you are looking for cheap designer bags, I suggest checking out Don Quixote.  You will usually find on the topmost floors on Donki.  I think this is the one in Shinjuku. I am not so sure. You find them arranged like this or inside locked glass cabinets.  I'm sure the artisans who made these bags will tu...

 I stumbled upon a "challenge" that I thought would be fun and something I can actually do.  I think this will help change my mindset and prepare me for the coming holidays.  Here goes.... Today, I am grateful for the following: 1.  Time for prayer 2.  Convenience of travel and parking when we visited the cemetery 3.  Free lunch
