I’ve been really busy with work, I’m pregnant and I don’t have a maid right now so rarely have time to answer questions posted through the site. I try my best to answer emails, though.

No, I don’t mean that you buy them designer clothes or every game console and toy available in Toy Kingdom. I mean that you should love them with all of your heart, and provide everything that they need in order for them to grow up to be good people.

We all live difficult lives, and don’t think that you’re special just because you’re raising a child on your own. So I say this to mothers who think they can get away with anything: “stop being spiteful and greedy, and start being realistic”. 
I don’t pretend to be perfect, I’m just a parent. And like [...]]]></description>

The question most asked by many women is how much they can ask for child support. Although there are a lot of factors to consider, usually it’s around 25% to 30% of the father’s salary, but not less than P3,000/month. I’ve repeated this information a couple of times already, but I would like to expound [...]]]></description>
