Hugot ng Magulang

I was watching Magandang Buhay on IWANTV this lunch break on my tablet. Their topic was about parenting style of celebrities.

Their two guests were Aiko Melendez and her son, K Brosas and her daughter Crystal. K has a story about her daughter which forced her to be physical with Crystal. Crystal was supposed to be watching Bieber's concert in MOA but for some reason, her assistant lost her.  Hinabol daw pala kasi ni Crystal yung bus ni Justin Bieber. For 30 mins the assistant couldn't find Crystal and K was already losing her mind. Pag kitang pag kita raw ni K sa anak niya nasampal nya ito sa sobrang galit at kaba.

Karla Estrada experienced this too with Daniel kasi hindi sumabay sa service at gabi na wala pa. Nasampal din daw niya pagdating. At ako I remembered nasampal din ako ni Mama because of that.

We had a biglaang practice for a presentation. Since hindi pa uso cellphone noon, ni beeper wala pa. At wala pa ring linya ng PLDT sa Antipolo, I had no way of informing them but through a note. My note said, that hindi ako sasabay sa school service because we had a practice. I gave my bag and note to the service driver.

I got home at 9:30, my friend had their driver drove me home and my friend also accompanied me home. She wanted to get out of their car to talk to my Mom, but I said no, coz I know how mad my Mom will be. True enough when I got home, sa gate pa lang sinampal na agad ako ni Mama. Walang tanong tanong, pak! sampal agad.

That time I could not understand her why she was freaking angry about it when in fact I left a note for them to know what I will do and where I will be. Sabi ni Kuya, malay daw ba nila kung ako talaga ang nagsulat non.

Fast forward to today, I have a son, I now understand every parents' fear of losing their children. Paranoid na kami kung sa paranoid, pero isang segundo lang  malingat sa paningin ko ang anak ko naka sigaw agad ako ng pangalan niya to know where he is.

When the time comes he is in his teens, I know mas magiging adventurous at stubborn itong anak ko ito. Akong ako e. Alam mo anak, you don't understand our fear yet today, but someday when you have a family of your own, maiintindihan mo rin. Kaya be obedient so that Mama and Papa won't worry much. Buti na lang di sya mahilig sa mabibilis na kotse. Nakakatakot daw kasi. So yun I know I won't have a problem sa mga drag racing kasi takot sya. Pero alam kong magiging lakwatsera sya. He is a mall rat just like me.

O sya, just shared to you a piece of my childhood, kala ko kasi ako lang ang nasasampal e. Normal pala naman. :))
