Who Gets Your Trust On Babysitting Your Child? ( Momimhar posted on December 17th, 2014 )

When it comes to babysitting your child, who gets your trust on this?  Many of us parents put our children to daycare.  This applies most of the time to those who are working.  But to moms like me who are stay at home and working only part time, we hire a babysitter.

Babysitting is not an easy job.  And leaving our child with a babysitter is not easy either.  Babysitters have to be well-trained, reliable, trustworthy, and affectionate.  Certified babysitters posses proper documents to prove that they are capable to take care of our beloved kids.  We all know that daycare and babysitting service is not cheap.  So for parents like me who do not have that much money to hire one find someone who can help me with babysitting.

On special occasion like a Holiday party, my dear husband and I ask a close friend or a family to watch or babysit our daughter for a few hours then we picked her up after the party.  When we went to my husband’s company Holiday party last year, DD’s godmother babysit her because their house is closer to the party venue.  This year’s company Holiday party venue was held closer to our area so my cousin watched over DD.

We feel very comfortable when we leave our kids to the people who we trust the most.  We know that they will be well-taken care of while we are away for a few hours.  But of course, it is also are responsibility to call and check on them once in a while to see if everything is okay.  This way, we can figure out solution if just in case a problem arises.

Never Let Your Kids Ride With You Or With Someone On Motorcycles ( Momimhar posted on April 29th, 2013 )

Following child safety regulations on road travel is very important for everyone’s sake.  Accidents on the road happen everyday.  But if we are very attentive and we obey laws and regulations on road safety, we can avoid it.  We do not want that to happen to us or to anybody else especially to our children.

There’s a regulation from Land Transportation Office in the Philippines that strictly prohibits motorcycle drivers to have children under 12 years of age ride with them.  This regulation has been created for years yet most numbers of the general public don’t know about it.  According to them (this is based on the news I have seen on television few weeks ago), they don’t have any idea that there’s a regulation like this.  What a shame.  It is a common sense that we have to protect out kids from harm.  As a responsible person/individual, parent, or guardian, children’s safety and welfare should be our concern.

Kids shouldn’t ride with you on motorcycles.  It is DANGEROUS.  I always remind my brother to always take extra care on driving his motorcycle and should NEVER let his kids ride with him whenever they go places.  It’s the law and it’s our responsibility to look after our kids’ safety.

What The Future Is Gonna Be ( Momimhar posted on January 14th, 2010 )

Wondering what the future is gonna be for my brother and sister who now have their own families.I still feel sad because they got married at a young age. During that time, the opportunity of getting a college education was right before them. But they picked a different choice. Many years of struggles had passed, and it seems to me, their life is still the same…except they have their own children now.

I have been thinking and asking myself how can I help them now? We are not getting any younger. The children are growing fast. Situations these days are unpredictable. I want to help as possibly as I can. But I want them to help and think for themselves too. As the eldest sibling, my responsibility is not limited to myself only. I still care for my family’s welfare back home. Until when? Maybe until I get old. Because as a Filipino, I have strong family ties.
