STAY AT HOME MOM TO A TODDLER

 Being a stay-at-home mom to a toddler means doing everything, all day, every day—and still feeling like you didn’t do enough.

It’s wiping tiny hands, making meals that get thrown on the floor, cleaning the same messes ten times, and navigating meltdowns over the wrong color cup. It’s reading the same book over and over, functioning on reheated coffee, and having zero personal space—not even in the bathroom.

There are no clock-ins, no lunch breaks, no days off.

And most of what we do? It’s invisible.

No one sees the emotional labor, the patience it takes, the constant juggling of everyone’s needs except our own.

It’s easy for the world to take it for granted—because we “don’t work.”

But we do.

We are the glue, the routine, the comfort, the calm in their chaos.

So if you’re a stay-at-home mom deep in the toddler trenches, I see you.

You are doing the hardest, most important job—one that doesn’t come with a paycheck or praise, but is building the foundation of someone’s whole world.

You matter. Your work matters. Even on the days when it feels like no one notices.

FATHERS LOVE

 “He doesn’t ask for applause.

He doesn’t speak of sleepless nights, or silent worries.

But behind every light in the home,

Every smile on our faces—

Is a man who carries the weight of the world,

Just so we don’t have to.”

-Anupama Rajan

BINUONG PAMILYA WILL BECOME THE MAIN FAMILY

 💙When a couple marries, 

MAGULANG at KAPATIDS 

become “EXTENDED” family, 

yung binuong pamilya, 

spouse & kids become 

the “MAIN” family.✔️

💙RELATIVES at No.5 

is “EXTENDED” family✔️

💙Kids are NOT above Spouse❌

because ang wedding vows are made sa ASAWA, 

NOT TO KIDS.❌

KIDS are just offshoot ng marriage.

They will leave one day and marry too

and make their own vows to put their asawa as top-priority.💙

LET GO OF UNNECESSARY DRAMA

 Wife: 

“AS MUCH AS I NEEDED TO BE 

HEARD AND UNDERSTOOD, 

GANUN RIN SI HUSBAND.”

—————————————————-

Crystal Sabido:

I am a silent reader, happily married for 9 years.. 

allow me to share my thoughts.. 

We, mga wives and GFs, need to listen intentionally 

and understand the POV of our husband/BF.. 

—-

As a wife, marami rin ako natutunan.. 

I realize na, as much as I needed to be heard and understood- 

ganun rin si Husband.

Ang gusto kasi natin mga girls, 

tayo iniintindi PALAGI, tayo inuunawa PALAGI, pinapatawad agad PALAGI kapag may pagkakamali.. 

paanu naman mga husband or partner natin? 

Sana marealize natin na same din ang needs nila.

——

Ang problema, most of the time, women tends to talk a lot (as in!)- umaandar na defense mechanism at pangangatwiran, 

lalo kapag nare-Real Talk na ni hubby.. 

Imbes na iprocess ang sinabi ni hubby, intindihin at aminin na may kakulangan at kasalanan din tayo,, idadaan pa sa tantrums, pagpuputak at minsan, hindi mamamansin..

(💙RM: SUPER CORRECT!✔️✔️✔️)

——

May times na hindi nagsosorry ang mga husbands or BFs natin, dahil gusto nila cguro matutunan din natin na magSorry- umamin sa pagkakamali. 

(💙RM: TRUE✔️)

Wives/ GF, try niyo rin kasi magSorry. 

There’s no shame in apologising.

I know many of you (wives or GFs) will not agree with me. 

But believe me, nung natutunan ko ng pakinggan at intindihin husband ko.. at nung natutunan ko na rin mag-Sorry.. yes, may disagreements pa rin pero wala ng unnecessary drama.

(💙RM: MISMO✅

ANG GAAN NG RELASYON KUNG MAWALA ANG UNNECESSARY DRAMA.🎯🎯🎯)

TAKE YOUR TIME

 TAKE YOUR TIME. 

Matagal siya kumain ng icecream? Sabayan mo. 

Matagal siya magsuot ng sapatos? Hintayin mo. 

Matagal siya makatulog? Samahan mo. 

Matagal niyang ma-pickup mga tinuturo mo? Tyagain mo. 

Matagal maubos energy niya? Enjoyin mo. 

Matagal siyang magkwento? Pakinggan mo lang. 

TAKE YOUR TIME. Kasi hindi forever yan. Isang araw lilingunin mo ang season na ito at sasabihin mong ang bilis lang pala talaga ng panahon, sana sinulit mo ang bawat oras na lagi niyang gustong...

Sumama sayo..

Nakadikit sayo..

Magpakarga sayo..

Hawak ang kamay mo..

Tawagin ang pangalan mo..

Makatulog na ikaw ang huli niyang nakikita.. 

Magpasubo sayo..

Makipaglaro sayo..

Magtanong sayo..

Nagpapakiliti sayo..

Magkayakap kayo..

Magpaturo sayo..

Magpabasa ng libro.. 

Ubusin ang oras mo...

TAKE YOUR TIME. Ibuhos mo lang lahat sa kanya ngayon. Magtanim ka sa kanya. Aanihin mo yan balang araw. Isang araw baligtad na. Siya naman ang maghihintay sayo. Hindi ka niya mamadaliin. Sasamahan ka niya, sasabayan, papakinggan, tuturuan, tyatyagain at aalagaan. Eenjoyin ka din niya at ibubuhos niya ang lahat ng pagmamahal at panahon niya sayo hanggang sa huling pagtibok ng puso mo.. hanggang sa huling pagpikit at hindi na pagmulat ng mga mata mo.

LUMALAYO PAG DI NA KAYA

yung tipong gusto mong mawala saglit kasi ang hirap magpanggap. Drop everything talaga. Gusto kong i-celebrate yung lungkot, ang weird no? How can you celebrate sadness and why should you have to? But, I do. 

Gusto ko, maalala ko 'to balang araw. Gusto ko, tumatak siya sa akin, yung mga panahong ang baba ng tingin ko sa sarili ko, yung mga araw na talo ako. Ayaw ko silang kalimutan. 

Gusto ko i-acknowledge yung feeling na malungkot ako. At okay lang 'to. Okay lang tayo kahit na di okay ang sitwasyon natin. Dahil dito, mas natatanggap ko yung sitwasyon. Na okay lang pala malungkot. Ganon. 

Para saan pa, at makakaraos rin tayo sa mga laban na minsan, tayo nalang ang nakakaalam. Yakap. ✨🌻

YOU WON'T HEAR THIS FROM OGIE DIAZ

But some relationships really do stand the test of time! 

You've probably seen it with your own eyes, maybe in your family or among your friends.

While celebrity breakups spread louder, faster and wider, there are plenty of couples quietly going strong.

So, don't lose hope in marriage. Give it a chance. 

Here's what I've observed from those lasting marriages:

It’s never been easy

but the Lord Jesus is always the One holding them together. Colossians 1:17
