ethanmama @ethanmama (1745) • Philippines 15 Mar 07

How do you introduce God to your kids?

ldmagat @ldmagat (24) • Philippines 15 Feb 07

I have a 1.5yo daughter who we always bring to church since she was 1month old. We mention God when she recognizes anything from nature. It's just great to hear her say.... "Mommy, Stars! Wow! God!" How do you do it?

Stay at home, or have a job?

ethanmama @ethanmama (1745) • Philippines 13 Feb 07

For women, would you rather fill the traditional role of being a housekeeper? Or would you work? For men, would you rather have a wife who stays at home? Or would you rather let her pursue a career?

Would you allow your kids to be become child celebrities or models?

kitakitts @kitakitts (188) • Philippines 14 Feb 07

Admit it or not, we have become stage moms one way or another. The moment you see your child shine makes you proud and say, "That's my kid!". But would you seriously consider your child having a career in the entertainment field...

ldmagat NAH.... I guess, I'm more of an overprotective mom than a stage mom. IF the time comes and our daughter wants to do so, i will support her. but for me to endorse her at an early age, i guess i won't. thanks for this question, it actually made me think.
