well i am celebrating my christmas and new year as well as my birthday far from my kids. I am currently in manila and my kids are in surigao. My daughter is in the hospital for a fever. I really feel sad and down becoz as a mother i cant even visit them and i cant even give them some presents for christmas. But i cant do anything becoz i cant afford to go home to surigao. Any opinions what do u think? I am a bad mother or what else can u say?

why are staying over there for job or any another serious reason.. anyways if the your reason is genuine then you don't feel guilty for that..but atleast make a contact with them and tell them your problem i know they will understand it!! happy birthday!!

Happy Birthday!! and Merry Christmas!! As someone who grew up far from their mom during the holidays, keeep in contact as much as you can and make every effort to call tham this week...even if you go broke. It's sucks for a kid not hear from their mom during the holidays season and it sucks even worse for the mom. It will also make your birthday go easier. Tis what i feel.

You are not a bad mother, I can tell that you love them very much. Please keep that in mind and try to share that with them - that will last longer anyway...
