This is an excellent advice for mothers while it would be great for a daughter to read and acknowledge a mothers perspective. It’s ought to maintain a healthy mother-daughter relationship and welcome that new addition to the family ( if he deserves so ) with open arms.

hi ma’am, its a good thing that you have your own guidelines about your daughter’s relationship..like my mom she always reminds me about that .she have a guidelines of who im going to choose.She wants of course the better..I think I’m in not ligawin type but I’m not ’suplada’. So what I’m gonna do, but to pick up the best among my 2-3 suitors..Like a lot of teenagers sometimes Im hard-headed,but I make it sure I make it good in my studies too..Its my vacation after I graduated in HS since I had my first bf at age 16,he is my 4thyr classmate.Well not so serious because he’s torpe,,and when we go to college we have different priorities and then I heard he’s in US now..so here’s my 2nd bf of mine an exactly opposite of my mom’s ideal man for me he’s my bf since 2nd yr college not “mayaman”, not so handsome, their house is walking distance from our home..hayyz exactly opposite of my mom’s man for me..But the thing Im sure of is he really really loves me..Our relationship is illegal.Im a registered nurse of course my family expect more from me..If I can do all that they want I will do it,,So here comes the big problem of mine I got pregnant when I already passed the board they are so disappointed and so I just realized that I should listen to them,,but things not happen like that..so I have to face the consequences. my bf now is still studying for some reason,,sometimes nakakarinig talaga ako ng salita such as kung pinili ko na lang ung ex boyfriend ko na us citizen mas madali para sa kin makapunta sa states..It hurts sometimes lalo na pag to naririrnig ko “o ngaun ikaw bubuhay sa boyfriend mo..I accept Ive made mistakes but I know God have plans for me..For now I process my exams, applications to be licensed in US para makabawi..I just want to emphasized here that sometimes hindi lahat ng gusto mo para sayo..

we werent allowed to have bf’s too, not before finishing college; that’s the rule. but we broke that rule… my mom knew i have a bf but not my dad. my sister kept her bf a secret until she got preggy and that followed real turbulent months for us. as for me, i didnt stay in the relationship for a long time, it is not for me to keep things in secret. i enjoyed a big crowd rather than a one on one, that is until i reached my early 20s. but you did great with your list! am going to read this to my hubby

Great do’s and dont’s – you should create an ebook version of this one. It was really interesting and nice to see these long and informative lines from your words and your experience. my mind just flew away around 10 years from now having my 2 twin-like baby daughters around, i’d keep that in mind.

i liked your boracay travel too, never been there, i wish to be there too with my family maybe one of these coming years.

what can i say, i have to subscribe.

have a nice weekend to you and you family.

cheers

Great post.

I agree with your sex education stand. When I was starting out in practice, it was difficult to elicit sexual histories from teens, etc. Sometimes, the denial would continue up to the time they’re obviously pregnant. But now when I ask about sexual histories, I find that more young people are doing it and it seems all matter-of-fact to them. You’re doing a great job by giving those lessons to your kids. I hope most parents do.

Ms. Noemi,

Can’t help but recall my parents’ admonition everytime a boy came calling or visiting, the lines “sige mag asawa na kayo para kumain ng asin”, or “iuwi mo lang ang anak ko, walang labis walang kulang” were classics. sheesh. With all the eye-rolling the four of us girls did, it’s a wonder we didn’t end up cross-eyed.

However, I agree that there is wisdom in not being too cool a mom. The difficult thing is knowing where to draw the line.

Ironically, what served us living lessons to the four of us, more than the OA warnings from our parents, were the unplanned pregnancies, elopements, teenage marriages that went on around us just because the parents of these kids were afraid to set the limits. Plus, our mom noticed EVERYTHING going on, appearances to the contrary.

Allowing our children to make their own mistakes–my, my, that is one difficult thing to do, but one which we must learn if we want to let them grow.

@vickie- well i did trust her. She was the one who broke the trust. Took a while to rebuild but now that she’s an adult, she pretty much knows her choices

@amomandmore- I am grateful that my parents set rules when were were teens. True, every generation is different. We need to be flexible.
