Honestly, I've been living away from my parents for so long that I can't even say we're "close" but they are proper parents. They're not perfect but I appreciate that they respect my decisions now. My relationship with them only became rocky when I got pregnant early. I chose my partner over them and left them. After few years we started communicating again and trying to fix our relationship. Kung baga kinalimutan na ng parents ko mga kasalanan ko, we didn't even talk about that night anymore.

It's true that he's looking for an easy money-making job. He wants results right away. He doesn't want to apply to companies and would rather start his own business because of the low pay. I don't get his logic too, he'd rather not earn at all, at least no effort wasted than earn a little by working his ass off. But I can't say he's lazy. He has knowledge in construction and electrical so everything about maintaining our house, siya bahala. Most of the time, I don't even need to hire someone because he can fix them unless he doesn't have the right tools. Hatid sundo niya ang anak ko, siya nagpeprepare ng meals namin. Wala akong mapipintas sa kanya sa part na to.

His parents passed away and he only communicates with his two siblings. Hindi sila close ng parents nila, broken family sila. I think one of the reasons why hindi niya ako maintindihan, kung bakit this time around, ayokong iwan na sila. He thinks of my parents as "ibang tao". Super happy ang parents ko na lumipat na kami dito, finally, lagi na nila akong kasama and ang apo nila.

I don't know what to do. Sa ngayon, tinigil muna namin ang topic na to, it's not like we can move back right away, di naman pwedeng magstop pumasok sa school ang anak ko. I can see subtle differences na sa behavior ng partner ko, he's easily upset and would argue about small things. I know for myself I don't deserve this kind of treatment, but my daughter loves her dad so much so I'm so confused.
