Mother and Daughter BFF Rules

My mother died when I was Thirteen so I never had the chance to know my mother better.
Growing up without a Mother is like growing up on your own, even if I had my grandma back then
still I felt alone and have no idea what life is about, what things should I know and learn but all of
this longing doesn't stop me from being who I am now and since I myself have my own daughter
now I decided to make a list of things to guide us in raising our own and have a wonderful mother
and daughter relationship along the way.

here they are...

Trust

When She said “Don’t Tell Anyone” then don’t.

Nung  bata ako I told my mom something and asked her not to tell anyone, but then when my dad came

home that night I caught her telling my dad everything I said, I felt so bad that time natakot din akong mag

trust ulit, feeling ko she betrayed me kaya from that day on hindi na ako masyado ng sasabi sa kanya ng

kung ano ano, hindi rin ako close sa nanay ko I grew up a Daddy’s girl and when I was growing up my

nanay passed away naman so while growing up as a teenager it was only my dad and myself  I trusted.

Respect

Respect is not just about “Po” and “Opo”, “Amen”, “Thank you”, those were just words of respect that can

easily taught to kids.

Respect is more of giving each other the chance to do what they want without telling them to

Respect is more of giving each other moral

Encouragement

Encourage your child to do what makes them happy but don’t forget to remind them to be cautious.

I personally grew up with low self esteem, hindi maganda ang skin, hindi healthy, hindi matalino and most of

all walang talent sa kahit anong skills. As I grew up and discover how to do things on my own that’s when

the time I started to gain a little confidence. Super hirap yung feeling na you want to do something pero

people around you would say “hindi ka pwede nyan or hindi ka bagay dyan” kaya promise ko sa sarili ko na

pag nag karoon ako ng anak pagiging supportive mom ang peg ko.  Sabi nga nila if you want to raise a

champion you have to encourage them to be one.  Pero aminin natin mga mothers hindi lang support ang

binibigay natin sa kanila but all the best we could kaya minsan nag kakaroon tayo ng tinatawag na

“spoiled”but who cares as long as wala tayong ginagawang masama sa iba and wala tayong na aapakan na

tao, a mother will always be a mother no matter what.

Laugh together

Laughing together and making joke at each other can make the bonding stronger.

I know someone who can text her daughters na parang tropa lang, they can also talk about anything and

sometimes they make fun of each other. 

Sabi nga nila laughter is the best medicine, laughter can also ease the pain away and make any bad hardtimes

easy.

Be true to each other

Being true to your daughter means being true to yourself, no matter  how painful it is telling the truth can set

you free. 

Ang Ina ang ating unang guro, and Ina ang ating unang kritiko at ang Ina ang ating unang tagahanga.

 Kaya mga mothers habang bata pa lang sila let's practice telling the truth na para pag laki yun na ang naka

sanayan nila....

Always Have Time

Always have time to listen
Always have time to share what ever idea you have
Always have a time to play
Always be a FRIEND not just a Mom

Be an Explorer

Explore things together and never be afraid to try things together

Enrichment

Enrich your child's skills, talent and whatever makes them the best they could be



Being a mother is not an easy job people may judge us, our kids may not appreciate us but no matter what
the world see us being a MOTHER is something that no man can take from US.

Mum,

You may be treated like the maid,
you may be treated like the gardner,
you may be treated like the daycare,
you may be treated like the chauffer,
you may be treated like many things.
But one thing is for sure,
You will always be loved.
For a fathers work may be from sun up till sundown,
but a mothers work is never down.
And all that I have, am, and hope to be, I owe to you,
So this is for all the times I forgot to say THANK YOU!!
