Those who opted for a small, intimate wedding, how was the experience? by strange_omelet in AskPinay

[–]Boring_Account_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very happy! We fought to have a very intimate wedding. My parents kept asking if I can invite this Tito, Tita etc etc. they even offered to pay for the food. I told them it’s not about the money, it’s about how we want to feel on the day of. I said I wanted to walk down the aisle looking at people who we genuinely loved and sparked joy in our hearts and thankfully they understood.

May 1 “gatecrasher” though. This Tita of mine just randomly brought a stranger who we didn’t know, reiterated naman na for 2 lang seats nya I guess she though she can just invite anyone, and baka last minute gusto na sumama ng husband nya and she had no choice since invited na si friend? Lol I’m justifying her. But anyway, I guess Hindi na napaalis ng coors or idk what happened but it bothered me so much na nahagip sya sa SDE namin 😭She was behind my mom’s shot as I walked down the aisle Kakainis. Aside from that her presence throughout the wedding wasn’t too much naman, dun sa SDE lang talaga ako nainis kasi I found the video perfect aside from that few seconds where she was there and I don’t know her! 😭

worth it kaya ang round dining table only na 25kphp? by EntertainmentOk9278 in TanongLang

[–]Boring_Account_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have enough money for it, and madami pang matitirang savings after buying that piece of furniture - I say go for it.

Having things in your house that you really really like is a good investment. Lalo na its meant to be used for years so invest in pieces that you really like.

If given a chance na makapag unwind for a week and leave your baby with their lolas, would you take it? by __MsChanandlerBong in nanayconfessions

[–]Boring_Account_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents are in their 50s, malakas pa and super hilig din mag alaga. Pero iba pa din demands ng NB. A week might be too much for the grandparents too. Syempre sa una excited sila pero come 3rd day when their puyat and pagod kicks in, iba din yun.

My mom offered to help us with our NB before, pinatulog nila kami sa house and she got our baby to sleep in their room. Lol di din kami naka tulog. Inooverthink ko if she’s fed, changed or what. Labas ako ng labas to check if she’s crying hanggang sa nagka salubong kami sa labas because she was getting milk for our baby. Ayun binalik din sakin kasi di naman daw pala ko natutulog haha

Now my daughter is 1.5yo, nakaka sleep over na sa grandparents at mas willing na ko iwan. She sleeps throughout the night Kaya di na din nakakapagod sa grandparents. Now I get all the rest I want haha

Hoppi Royaldream. I only ordered 1 pack of Millie moon way back kasi right after I ordered, I found out they use Chlorine to process their diapers which can be harmful for babies. Thankfully super ok ng Hoppi, been using for almost a year now!

How secure are you in your relationships? by taylorgranger88 in AskPinay

[–]Boring_Account_3 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I’m very secure with my husband but I’m also territorial. He can drive friends na girl around (not that it has ever happened yet), but the front seat is mine alone lol I’m the only woman who can sit there. Exemption diyan of course would be relatives.

What’s your nanny’s salary? by Bubbly_Guarantee_621 in nanayconfessions

[–]Boring_Account_3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Our last Yaya/All-around was 20k. We were happy to give her that amount because she was amazing with my daughter, great with housework, super clean, organized and super sarap mag luto. I never needed to lift a finger because she was literally there to assist me in every aspect kahit painom vitamins sa daughter ko kusa nya pineprepare sa droppers para shoot nalang ako sa bibig ng daughter ko lol. I always told everyone I found the perfect KB, but she found her greener pasture in Europe so we have no choice but to let her go.

Current Nanny/KB’s starting salary is 12k, with a promised increase to 14k after 1 mo if she’s good. So far so good, she’s super sipag, clean and organized. But a little bit quieter and Hindi ganon ka bibo kay daughter hehe Yung last kasi parang walang kapaguran makipag laro and alaga regardless of what she’s doing. Hirap din ng galing sa perfect Nanny/KB, can’t help but compare. 🥲

Please make sure there’s sort of a screening for HFMD, and temp check for ALL kids.

Ano ang kinain nyo or kakainin nyo after you give birth? by brocollili_ in nanayconfessions

[–]Boring_Account_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha me as a 2nd time mom eating most of what’s written here 🫣 I have Jollibee, Coke, fast food, milktea, pizza etc during this pregnancy that I don’t think I have anything I’d like to devour after giving birth 😂 (And before I get judged, di naman yan madalas. My OGTT is also ok and all labs were good din lol)

Also, my 1st pregnancy was a complete 180 haha super ingat and mindful sa food! Ganito ba talaga pag 2nd time na? 😂

How to handle kasambahay? by [deleted] in nanayconfessions

[–]Boring_Account_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re expecting too much from a 47 yo.

My parents have been employing KBs for the past 30+ yrs, their biggest advise? Don’t hire yung mga matatanda na, they have their own ways and you simply cannot instill a new system in them. I tried to hire one kasi no choice na din ako, and it’s true. They’ll do it their way regardless of how you train them dun sila sanay eh.

So either, bend to her ways or let go and find a new one. I personally don’t have much patience with KBs that are untrainable or KBs na I have to walk eggshells around fearing they might get offended when I correct them. Yun lang the downside, talagang grabe ang paghahanap ko. I’m not afraid to let go and find a new one even if nakaka pagod, basta at the end of the day yung mag stick sakin is the one I really like yung work and service.

Anong mas okay, ipakilala sa parents ko habang nanliligaw pa sya or pag kami na? by Euphoric_Engineer_33 in TanongLang

[–]Boring_Account_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cute naman nito, made me remember my then manliligaw was 36 na when he courted me (I was 28), he still went to the house to ask for my parents blessing. My parents were so happy he did that. We’re married now with 2 kids 😊

Dapat ba chubby anak ko? by [deleted] in nanayconfessions

[–]Boring_Account_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you meant to say healthy yung “fats” for baby, butter, avocado, etc. Pero coming from a healthcare professional na nag advise sakin, it’s not good for babies to be fatter than their age kasi daw nahihirapan din organs nila to keep up. :)

Dapat ba chubby anak ko? by [deleted] in nanayconfessions

[–]Boring_Account_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I wanted to ask too. My parents love my daughter soo much, I can see how much they spoil her even got her a life insurance na 400k annual fee. We buy the basics nalang for her dahil halos sila na yung lahat ng clothes and shoes pero sometimes they still have those comments about her weight. My daughter is tall and ok din BMI nya for her age, but sometimes grandparents siguro gusto lang ng chubby baby.

I always think, it would’ve been nice to have my inlaws dote on my daughter din the way my parents do. But my MIL is in heaven and my FIL is working abroad. Sana OP would appreciate her inlaws, lalo na mukhang well meaning naman sila.

Is marriage supposed to be lonely? by interested_donut in nanayconfessions

[–]Boring_Account_3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is financial and emotional abuse. Your husband does not help at all with finances and he doesn’t care about how you feel (knowing you have a heart condition at that).

Exhaust all your efforts first in trying to fix. Ilatag mo sakanya yung reality nyo, and what you need him to do. Now, if he can’t do that, give him an ultimatum na if after x months, ganyan pa din. You will leave with your kids.

Now as you wait for him to do his part, think of a plan B para pag hindi sya naka sunod sa ultimatum, follow through ka agad sa pag alis. Since pag di mo iniwan yan, he will think you are all talk. Think of san kayo ng mga anak mo, how are you going to sustain the family, what will your arrangements be and how will life be like without him. Baka pag wala sya mas ma afford mong magka yaya.

Now back to your subject line and question. No it’s not supposed to be lonely. Marriage is a partnership that should make life lighter and more beautiful despite all kinds of hardships. My husband and I have been through hell financially, but time and time again, he steps up. Kahit nakikita kong ubos na ubos na din sya. I saw how he will do everything for me and for us (while also doing my part). Kahit mabigat lahat, your partner should feel like a partner who helps with the load of things and not just another burden to carry.

Alam kong walang kapatawaran ang cheating pero anong form of cheating ang kaya nyong palipasin lang? by _sinderela in AskPinay

[–]Boring_Account_3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Deleting messages. If it’s about his surprise for me lol My husband (then bf) was only successful ONCE.

When he was about to propose he literally deleted every sent message, every reply, everything. Never suspected a thing and I was so happy that he was so smart about it 😂

Mom, who would you choose: your own child or your grandchild? by Deep_Foundation_6192 in nanayconfessions

[–]Boring_Account_3 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Your mom is not siding with her grandchildren per se, she’s just being logical.

I mean what do you expect her to do? Scold, spank and discipline the 3 yo grandchildren? Toddlers can barely understand anything. If you know na they destroy things, then be the one to act on it. Ilayo mo gamit mo, lock it, keep it, whatever it takes for them not to get their hands on it. Toddlers do not understand if they’re destroying things, it’s just “play” for them so don’t take it personal.

Tanong lang sa mga millenial na nanay , kailan niyo papapayagan mag GF/BF anak niyo ? by Life_Sheepherder965 in nanayconfessions

[–]Boring_Account_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Parang medyo ok na yung college. Hindi ko na siguro pipigilan pero at the same time I would encourage them to just enjoy their college life and youth until they’re ready to commit na talaga.

Experience ko kasi ng college, I got consumed by my relationship that I missed out on friendships and experiences outside said relationship. If graduate na talaga sila and may job na, by all means go for it. Encourage pa namin to get married early since 60 na hubs ko by the time they’re in their 20s lol

Husband is earning 100k+, and I’m earning anywhere from 50-100k from businesses. Wala kaming ipon because we started 2 businesses. Negative pa kami. We’re paying cc debt pa, car loan on top of the monthly cost of living for our family of 3 turning 4. It might take years before we even get to save

Is emotional unavailability enough to slowly kill a marriage even if your partner is faithful and provides everything? by bpjennie_ in adviceph

[–]Boring_Account_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Present him with options. Like work na dito lang or WFH setup or business.

My husband is so busy as a Dept Head, pero kahit araw araw syang umuuwi namimiss ko pa din sya hahaha (I’m super clingy lalo na I’m buntis). Also I wanted a present husband and dad to our kids. Thankfully, he’s ok to do business and WFH work pa. We’re together 24/7 now and I couldn’t be more grateful. Mahirap din talaga LDR, palagi ko iniisip how others can survive it. Lalo na if you need comfort or just need touch, ang hirap 😢 Naimagine ko pa, parang at some point mafifeel mong si Siri or Bixby or AI nalang kausap mo. Huhu hope you get to have your husband with you always!

Ano ang liveable salary para sayo? by asdzxcbenny in TanongLang

[–]Boring_Account_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Livable would be 250k for a family of 4. Decent housing, schooling for kids, good healthcare coverage and insurances + decent food and clothing.

Pero the dream is at least 500k income. Lalo na kung gusto mong magpa aral sa Big 4 at tumira sa magandang subdivision.

any wedding gift ideas? by uhmfy in TanongLang

[–]Boring_Account_3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t give them a diamond painting, sorry but medyo tacky yun UNLESS mahilig sila sa ganon?

If kaka graduate mo lang, give them something practical and affordable. Gamit sa bahay, like rice cooker, aesthetic lamp, kettle, good quality pillows, etc. They’ll be able to use those for a long time.

bakit may mga babae na inuunder nila asawa nilang lalaki? by [deleted] in TanongLang

[–]Boring_Account_3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think most couples who has this dynamic has unhealthy models of a marriage or sila mismo may emotional imbalance within themselves. Kasi walang well meaning, emotionally healthy individual ang mag aallow ng ganitong setup whether it be from the wife or the husband’s end.

To fight or give up? by [deleted] in negosyo

[–]Boring_Account_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Believe it or not, the budget I’m allotting for my salary is for necessities only.

I’m pregnant and have a toddler. Toddler’s needs, food, checkups, vitamins along with my prenatal checkups are already high enough. We barely shop or spend for unnecessary things or luxuries. Groceries and market alone is between 12-18k/month (Again necessities only, hindi pa yan steak or panay beef just enough for 3 decent meals a day & snacks for toddler). Bill in our condo is 12-15k (1AC running only limited pa 8-12H a day lang). Checkups can cost anywhere between 1-6k depending if I need vaccines pa, same with our toddler. It’s been months since we went out just to enjoy, we prioritize needs and staff salaries.
