I don’t blame them. A lot of these kids are quite successful in their field. Take for instance, Leo Salonga. Her mom tagged along during Lea’s performances until her mid twenties. This working arrangement probably worked well for them. My daughters chimed in that they would be totally embarassed if my reaction would be like that. A friend admitted to all of us that she is and continues to be a “stage mother” to her only son who graduated summa cum laude. My stage mother days is now a memory that I treasure. I’m glad I devoted those growing up years in nurturing their talents. It’s really fun watching your child perform. I can sit all day just watching them sing on stage. Even if I believe that my children’s achievement belong to them, I can’t blame stage mothers. They are proud moms. We never stop being a mother.

It was a pity that my mama was painfully shy, so she was not a stage mother. My dad was the stage father. He would get so wired up everytime we let slip that one of us was the recipient of an award or something. I used to see stage mothers as busybodies, but now that I'm a mother myself,I plan on being one. Nothing wrong with being proud of our kids, right? how lucky your daughters are, noemi, to have you as their mom.I too played the piano until college activities occupied most of my time.

As you said yourself, you were not a stage mother for nothing. Hope I will also be able to do that for my girl. I am in that stage now where I can be found lugging bathing suits or ballet outfits, or dragging Abby to her voice lessons. Ha ha! that's right! I have to drag her to it. Hope it will be worth all the trouble one day... It must be wonderful knowing that you have actively helped your children find the proper directions they want to take in life.

By the way, how did you cope with the "what if" question on going to Cebu instead of Europe? Is it through coming to a resolve that it is His master plan? Did at some point you develop a phobia of the word Cebu or Europe etc? Thanks again...your blog is so nice to read! Congratulations for having raised those talented kids!

I can sort of related to being a stage mother. My oldest son plays the flute and I also accompany him to these performances, recitals and competitions. But unlike you, our travels are limited within the city where we live. Such talented kids. I can sort of related to being a stage mother.
