single parenthood
It's every parents dream to give their children the best things in life they could offer. Being a parent myself, I'm no exception. Right now, my goal is to provide my daughter her basic needs and save for her future. Having said that, it breaks my heart to say NO to my daughter's whims. I have to tell her that some things are far more important than a barbie doll, a trip to here and there, a cotton ball that she once saw outside the church. If there's any consolation, God didn't gave me a brat for a daughter. She's very understanding, so much..that it oftentimes make me feel guilty. Whenever we're in a mall or in a supermarket, she'll show me an item and say " Ma, gusto ko nito." Me, being a budget freak will first see the price and if i can't squeeze it in our budget, I'll give her the look. She'll give me a shrug and with a rolling eyeballs she'll say " Okay, next time" or " Sabi ko nga eh."
