Due very soon with my first. For those who have been through it—looking back, how did you prepare for the actual birth (mentally, physically, or logistically) that you would 100% do the exact same way again?

And to balance it out: what is one way you prepared that you would NEVER do again or that ended up being completely useless when labor actually started?

If there will be amendments with the current Juvenile Law, what are your proposals? Do you agree to lower the age of criminal responsibility?

When it comes to value formation, it's said that mom plays a vital role. But what have you learned from your dad that you want to pass on? Tara kwento mo!

I know that every preemie journey is unique. But would to hear from fellow parents. What is one victory that you’re celebrating with your preemie right now? And what is one challenge you’re currently navigating?

Our 34-weeker is now 2 years and 4 months old. One of our biggest victories is seeing him continue to meet his milestones. As preemie parents, we’re always diligent about developmental check-ins and watching for any possible delays.

Our biggest challenge right now (just like with his preemie kuya before him) is slow weight gain. His BMI is within the normal range accdg to his pedia, but I’m still looking for ways to encourage him to eat more and build healthy weight. 😅

Looking forward to hearing stories and tips too. ❤️

How do you manage burnout from work and motherhood?

I’m wondering when kids usually stop taking daytime naps.

How old was your child when they dropped their afternoon nap? Did it happen naturally, or did you decide it was time to transition away from naps?

What signs told you they were ready? Did it affect their bedtime, mood, or overall routine?

I’d love to hear your experiences and tips from fellow parents! 💛

How many solo dates do you go on in a month? What do you usually do during your me-time?

Mine? I join monthly book clubs, art clubs, and physical activities like walking and running events. 

I’d love to hear yours! Please share your favorite solo-date ideas, I’m looking for new things to try next.
