    5. 845PM. Actually a lot do ask that question especially those "weird ones" and those who obviously don't have a life. The question is: why do you care whether she is married or not? What business is it of yours?

  2. This is the reason why i vow not to have children of my own. I did not grow up in a happy home. I was verbally, emotionally and physically abused by my own mother. Those hurtful words are still running in my head and no matter how i tried to forget those hurtful memories, life has its cunning way of triggering it all over again and it is still very painful. I wish that all future parents will come to a reflection that a child did not choose to be born, so whatever pain you guys earned from the past, do not pass them down to your children.

    2. 1:45 I also grew up in a very toxic, iron-fisted environment. Among us siblings, I'd say I had received the most physical, emotional, and verbal abuse because the most were expected from me. But when we all grew up as adults, none of us had any resentments towards our parents, especially our mom who was the more abusive parent since she's the hands-on housewife/mom. We actually spoil our mom and shower her with affection now that she's older and widowed. But we all agreed to treat our kids differently from how we were raised. My mom in the beginning was weirded out why we wouldn't "discipline" our kids (we do, not just her way of disciplining) and treat them as friends (and sometimes enemies too haha). But now, she treats our kids our way already. When we were young, it was even awkward for us to greet each other a happy birthday, but now, we say we love each other as often as we could.

      This doesn't mean that our experience didn't leave any marks. In fact, I do have anger management issues that sometimes I'd just last out at my husband and/or kids. It would normally be a short outburst, though, because then I'd catch myself. It's so hard to control that "inner me" :(( I'm just fortunate that my husband is very understanding and so are my kids. Sadly, but luckily for me, my kids have learned to adjust to me. I'm trying my best that I don't affect them badly, but sometimes I feel like I'm still not doing enough :((

    4. I’ve had the same experience as with all of you. I even entered parenthood out of obligation. Ironically, my healing began when I became a mother. It was the last thing I expected to help me get unstuck with issues from having absentee parents.

    5. 4:04 grabe. Kudos to you! Self awareness is one step towards change. Galing mo! You are blessed! Hugs sis.

    6. For me naman, I didn’t grow up in an abusive family, actually from the outside it looks like a loving and perfect family. I mean, my needs are met naman pero at the same time, it feels burdensome, hindi ko alam pano ieexplain. Basta parang dahil lang sa obligation or responsibility.
      Growing up I had to witness marital problems, that now I don’t believe in marriage. I mean my parents didn’t separate, but I almost wished they just did, kesa nagstay sa toxic relationship. Ngayon ok naman na sila since old age na din, and it’s good to have companionship like that. Pero in turn, I also ended up being scared to let go of my long term relationship even though hindi na healthy. My parents are emotionally unavailable when I needed them before so I had to fend for myself and realized now that I developed childhood trauma and anxiety. They didn’t teach me a lot of things that are crucial to life, so had to learn things on my own. Money matters wise, because of the family culture in the Philippines, they also support their other family members, so I have firsthand experience when they don’t prioritize me and our family, and I didn’t understand that as a kid and now. I mean when you decide to start a family, focus on your own family.

      So ayun, marami pa, pero considering what I had to go through (hindi pa yan malala compared to others), and with my current state now, mentally, emotionally, financially, etc, I don’t think I’m well suited to be a parent. Being a parent entails a big responsibility, I think yung whole life mo will have to change, for you to raise a happy well-loved kid. Hindi pwedeng magaanak ka lang kasi you want to, or dictated by society, you are responsible for shaping that child’s life.

  4. I 100% agree on her sentiments. Some women are not meant to be mothers. Some chose not to, and that’s okay. And for those who are completely happy being a mom, that’s totally awesome. But it is very awkward to ask childless women when will they have a kid. Ikaw ba magpapalaki?!

    5. 329 So do I have to be a slave working until I die to provide to my kids?

      Delete
    6. Hi 3:19, I'm not 2:20 po pero andaming factors kasi. Pls pardon me for interrupting. Here in Filipino society, the children still live in the family home until adulthood. Yung iba nga hindi na bumubukod. Kayang mag-asawa with bonggang pre-nup photos and wedding, kaya bumili ng kotse and latest gadgets, pero di kaya mag save up for their own house. Nakikitira pa rin sa parents or inlaws. Sorry pero andami kong kilalang ganito. There was a similar comment before here sa FP na parent sya and she said she will continue helping her anak (through adulthood) sa finances if needed.

      Pag nag anak ka sa Pilipinas, hindi natatapos ang obligasyon mo hanggang college. Hanggang pagtanda. Kaya agree ako sa Western countries na at the age of 18, you should move out of the family home - learn how to be an adult and be independent, look for a job whether you studied in Uni or not, wag na maging pabigat sa family. But we all know Developing country lang ang Philippines and it's not applicable here.

      Delete
    7. We don't want a life na tinatawid lang, for ourselves or a child. We want a thriving and full life for both.

    8. True, bonggang wedding pero wala naman pambili ng bahay.

  6. Totoo to. Especially yun part na d ka pa sure if you like kids, but you have them anyway because you feel that is what is expected of you. Kawawa ang mga anak ko, i try my best pero mahirap. Matinding internal struggle talaga. Sana may ganito ng awareness dati. So kudos to maxene for sharing this

    3. Hindi ba pag aaccept ang ginagawa nila maxene? Kung hindi para sakanya yung motherhood eh di hindi para sakanya, un ung punto nya. Madami ding celebs na inembrece ang motherhood kahit di kasal. Wala naman dapat talagang opinion ang ibang tao sa desisyon nya. Ikaw po ata ung malabo.

  8. These questions are valid. I believe concern lang naman yung commenter. From my experience, I always ask my niece when she's having a baby and keep reminding her to have a baby hangga't bata pa. Feeling nya nanghihimasok ako when in fact ayoko lang naman tumanda sya na walang mag support sa kanya. Iba parin pag may sandalan ka pagdating ng araw.

    3. Oh no 3:17. We are not our children’s responsibility. We are never anyone’s responsibility. We are even responsible ourselves for our retirement years. If our children take their time to be with us, that is a huge, huge blessing. If not, that is our fate that we must accept. But we don’t have children just because we want someone - anyone - to support us in any way. I’ve repeatedly told my children to live their best lives and that me and their dad will be okay just seeing them do so.

    10. Hindi rin dapat ginagawang fallback ang mga anak. The choice to have kids should not be because sila ang mag aalaga sa iyo when you get older or sila ang mag aahon sa pamilya pagtanda nila.

    11. Hindi po sandalan ang mga anak/bata. Let them do it out of their own love and decision. Hindi yung di pa nga napapanganak, ginawa nang retirement plan…

    12. Hindi po insurance ang mag anak. Hindi guarantee na mag aalaga sila sa pagtanda. Yes po, nanghihimasok kayo. Pls let your niece live her own life.

    13. 4:32 hindi pakielamera but a concerned aunty. Sino ba naman ang gustong tumanda mag-isa?

    14. Pag tanda mo, maiisip mo rin yan. Sana marami kang kaibigan na maghuhugas ng pwet mo or marami kang pera magbabayad sa caregiver para magbigay ng Oras sayo. Ikaw ang mapait, ang mundo ginawa para I enjoy at mag mahal. Ang magulang at anak nagmamahalan. Pero Sabagay kung ang mismong mga anak at magulang mapapait both dapat wag na nga. Pero yung mga pakialamera lang sa mga gustong sumaya na May anak at nagmamahal, wag na kayo sumali. You don’t deserve such conversation dahil Di kayo marunong magshare ng pagmamahal.

    15. hay naku aunty, do you really care about your niece or are you anxious that the responsibility of your niece's care will fall on you or you're just so controlling you want everyone's life to be set snd settled they way you want it to? Really look inside yourself, mukhang may anxiety and control issues ka.

    18. 03:17 - Napaka backwards ng thinking mo. Typical traditional Filipino mindset that has been long, long practiced ang passed through generations. Pero sa totoo lang, iba na ngayon. Ibang iba na. Yang ganyang pananaw minana mo pa sa kaninu ninuan. Kawawa naman ang anak mo. Kakasilang pa lang may obligasyon na agad. Na balang araw aalagaan ka pag tanda mo. Tapos isusumbat mo ang utang na loob.

    20. You meant well pero how would you feel if other people will keep on insisting you to take a heavy responsibility that you do not want to take? Diba nakakainis at pwede rin ma pressure ka if that person is someone you trust and care bec. she is a relative. Baka kakapilit mo mag anak siya pero she is unhappy.

      Delete
    21. Jusko, hindi sandalan ang anak! And I say that both as a mother and daughter. I'll take care of my mom pag hirap na sya but I won't expect that from my daughter. Di ako nagka anak para may mag aalaga sa amin noh.

    24. 12:38 ganyan naman talaga mga tyahin natin tatanung sayo "kailan kayo magkakaanak?" o kaya "bakit hindi nyo pa sundan?" minsan naman pag buntis ka na "sana babae para may maayusan ako"

    25. Yung mga nagreact siguro hindi rin marunong tumanaw ng utang na loob sa mga tumulong sa kanila. After palakihin, pakainin, bihisan, pag kaya na ang sarili iiwan nalang basta ang lungga. What a shame.

      Delete
    26. 1:08 As much as I love giving back to my parents, hindi nila right na singilin ako sa pagpapalaki nila sa akin. Like how my kid is not obliged to look after me when I get old. Choice nang parents ko to have me and it was our choice to have our kid, he did not choose to be born. Responsibility nang mga magulang ang mga anak nila kaya di dapat iexpect na may ROI pag tanda. I would be thankful if my son would look after us, pero if not that’s also ok.

      Delete
    27. 3:17- Strive to have a retirement fund. Hindi life insurance ang anak. I myself have chosen to forego having a husband and children because I love my freedom and I made sure mayroon akong retirement fund to avail assisted living here abroad. Di ako kawawa dahil mabubuhay pa din ako ng comfortable kahit matanda na.

    32. Naku, TITA, wala po utang ang mga anak sa magulang. No child ever asked to be born. If your kids take care of you, be grateful. Nasa pagpapalaki rin yan, if you were loving to your kids then they will find it natural to love you back. Take note, loving is not just giving them food, shelter, and education. That's like so basic, tapos sisingilin mo sa mga junaks later on?

  13. Mahaba pa ang tatahakin ng mga Pilipino pagdating sa mga ganitong usapin, pero buti nagkakaroon na ng awareness, conversations, and hopefully acceptance ng society.

    Life is short to the point na kulang ang lifetime na to sa mga pwede nating gawin. Di lang iisa ang path ng buhay ng tao (in this case, ng mga babae). HINDI IBANG TAO ang magdidikta sayo kung ano ang dapat mong gawin dahil MAGKAKAIBA TAYO ng priority, paniniwala at goals sa buhay. Sa mga taong namimilit, nangpe-pressure at nangmamaliit sa kapwa nila babae: Sa tingin mo, ang klase ng buhay mo ang standard ng lahat?

  15. Sana sa lahat ng invasive questions pagisipan muna bago iask!!! Going to family parties is scary for me coz of these questions. "Kailan ka ikakasal? Wala ka nanamang boyfriend? Kailan ka magbababy?"
    Pangsmall talk siya yes, pero traumatic siya sa receiving end. Pano kung kaya pala walang baby kasi di makabuo. Pano kung walang asawa kasi galing sa abusive relationship? Pano kung kaya walang boyfriend kasi may confidence issue? Or pano kung wala lahat kasi yun yung gusto niya? Yung paisa isang tanong minsan mapapalampas mo pa pero if paulit ulit na tapos gagawin ka pang katatawanan, it scars you.

    4. Not 1:16 pero sagutin ko yan 2:48. You can't change people, their mentality or yung insensitive questions nila. I found that out for years. Kaya ako na lang nag adjust. Pag Christmas or may reunion, my husband and I just go out, nood ng sine or just do something leisurely we both enjoy. Painful na yung questions like bakit wala kayong anak etc or yung kuwentuhan about kids, family life. Naisip ko, they can't help it kaya kami na lang nag adjust. We've suffered from infertility, gone into treatments that failed and no one seems to remember that kahit ilang beses pa naming ikuwento. It seems, they still find fault in us. As if we caused our own problem and they were wont to blame or find comparison. Anyways, fast forward, we finally had 2 kids. Eto naman ang sinasabi. Bakit normal ang mga anak mo, despite undergoing treatments while yung anak ni so and so, may diprensiya samantalang normal namang nagbuntis? Hayyysss.....as if we didn't deserve yung kids namin. So you see how toxic some people are including your own friends and family?

  22. I can relate with her. Hindi kakulangan sa isang babae kung hindi sya magkaanak due to infertility issues man or personal choice. Nakatanggap din ako ng mga ganyang insensitive comment. At first, masakit. Pero habang tumatagal natuto na ako na imanage. I accepted that I can't control other people yet somehow I wish people can emphatize more.

  23. It s*cks to read comments above, na galing mismo sa mga kapwa babae mo. No one should be shame for HAVING KIDS and NOT HAVING KIDS. Yes, ladies. Please read that again.

  24. Ako naman I always get “Bakit Wala ka bf” “mahihirapan ka niyan pag makaanak ka” “Mahirap mag isa, kawawa ka”

    I get this all the time. Especially now Malapit na pasko at may reunion.

    Parang isip ko para ba ma complete ang isnag tao need ba maka anak? Need ba mag ka asawa or mag jowa?

    Ito sakit ng mga Pilipino talaga Lahat na Lang pinapansin sayo. As in lahat. Sabihan ba naman ako kawawa ka mag isa ka niyan Wala mag aalaga sayo…

    Diba? Nung sinabihan ako niyan ng tita ko “mahihirapan ka niyan Wala mag aalaga sayo”

  27. There is nothing wrong if wala ka asawa, wala ka anak, wala ka plano, and gusto mo lang ganito ka. Remember, you are enough.

  28. seriously pinoy needs to stop this mentality. masyado nating ninonormalize ang pagkakaroon ng anak considering 3rd world lang naman tayo. kita mo tuloy yung mga mahihirap sa lansangan isang kahig isang tuka marami pang anak. why just be thankful na yung mga ayaw eh hindi nakakadagdag sa overpopulation ng pinas. its kind of cliche pero totoo naman.

  29. Yup, mukhang gusto lang i marites yung status nilang mag asawa kaya kunwari anak isyu yung tinatanong. Ask na din mga baks. Tutal inivade niyo na privacy niya, itodo niyo na pag epal. Kahiya naman sa inyo :)

  30. Maraming bagay na dapat iwasang itanong lalo na sa taong di mo naman ka-close. Tulad ng mga personal na bagay, like, anong trabaho mo, ilang taon ka na, may asawa ka na, ilan na anak mo. Ang taba mo. Nagmature hitsura mo etc.. Madalas itanong yan sa side ko na nasa low class, pero never sa side ng asawa ko na more on nasa middle class.

  31. I was recently diagnosed with a medical condition na never na ako magkaka anak, I didn’t freeze my eggs before because having a child is a decision that needs to be made by the couple. I was not in a healthy relationship at that time and now I’m happily single.

    I didn’t tell about it to all my family and friends kasi mas na stress ako sa kanila dealing with them kaysa sa idea na hindi na ako magkaka anak ever.

    I still see adoption as an option if I ever I get married and my partner agrees to it. Sa tingin ko deserve ng bata to live in a good home.

    2. Shucks, relate on the part na mas nakakastress pa dealing with people vs the actual issue. They say they just have your best interests in mind, but none of them are caring and attentive enough to actually know your interests. They just impose what they think is best for them. When I think of having kids, the homeless kids also come to mind. From an impersonal and big picture point of view, why make one when there's so many already available and they all deserve a good life.

  32. There are numerous of woman naman na di bet ang babies or di pa ready pero kapag nagkababy nagkakaron ng direksyon ang life for inspiration baga para kumayod. Depende kasi talaga yan sa sitwasyon. I respect girls na di bet mag baby pa and girls na gusto rin ng babies agad agad basta ba kaya buhayin. And also, i get her point dun sa triggering, in all aspects nakakatrigger talaga mga tanong na nakakapressure esp kapag may pinagdadaanan ka, yung tipong lakas makasira ng araw. Those insensitive people.
