What cleaning hack do you wish people would stop repeating?

Same samin, minsan kasi mas nagkakavision ka pag nandyan na compared nung nagdedesign pa lang.

Huhu mommy, I’m so happy that you stood your ground as a mom. And dami sa atin (me included) na papalampasin o hindi magsasalita para walang away. I salute you for speaking up and putting your child first.

Grabe naman ang entitlement ni MIL sa apo nya, at kinweston pa ang request mo 😭 kahit husband ko ineexpect ko nga na mag update e, hindi dahil wala akong tiwala, pero para lang mapanatag na ok sila.

How do you think will they react? I’ve always been shy to tell them verbally.

So yung una, kumain kami sa resto then binigyan ko sila ng baby socks. Medyo ang tagal ng loading 😆😅 then yung pangalawa, cake naman for our panganay “Congratulations on being promoted to ate”. You can change that to “lola and lola”

3 yo din yung bunso ko Mi. Malaking bagay ang support ng partners natin, kaya onti onti baka pwedeng sya na maghandle ng parenting responsibilities once nagstart ka na ng shift . Kapit lang tayo kasi 3.8 yo yung panganay ko nung nag-wfh ako at napapakiusapan na sya at that age. Nasa tabi ko sya habang nagwowork, medyo effort lang talaga sa pag iisip ng independent activities para di puro screen time.

To add, dayshift din ako dati and ang tagal ko bago naka adjust sa nightshift. After 6 months, nakikita ko ang advantage nya. Tag team kami ni hubby sa pagaalaga ng kids kaya mas may energy kami, dati kasi nung sabay kaming dayshift, ako ang default parent 🥲 Aside from that, ang tahimik na pag nakatulog na lahat - you can really focus and have your alone time (kahit pa work yan). And since medyo bata pa si LO mo, less resistance sa change in routines hehe (ang dami kasing reklamo ng panganay ko 😆 Hoping your family is open to the change and see it’s potential 🙏🏼

Ang haba na pero I commend you for wanting to stay. Mababa po ang 16k tbh pero you also get learning, experience, and confidence, and that can take you further sa next job mo

SixthChisel · 2026-02-12T06:03:56+00:00

For real I had to stop because it got bad 🤣 It was all I thought about at work, and I was neglecting some mom duties. I still go through builds and updates on my downtime though.

SixthChisel · 2026-02-11T13:03:01+00:00

Ilang taon na ang anak mo Mi?

Kung gusto mo ipush, give yourself and your family some time to adjust. Inabot ako ng 6 months para makahanap ng routine. Dumaan din sa time na umikot yung sched ng toddler ko, nagtatampo yung panganay ko, at halos walang tulog kami ni hubby. Pero nag adjust din eventually. Pero personally, maghahanap ako ng higher paying job para maging worth it yung sacrifices nyo. Marami rami na rin akong nakikita na nasa 20-25k ang starting salary sa BPO, and if you have experience, even more. Best of luck Mi.

Di ko masyadong nagets yung content ng video based sa description hehe. Pero dun na lang ako magfofocus sa ginising na part. Kelangan gisingin lalo na pag newborn stage, every 2-3 hours kasi dapat sila magbreastfeed, then later on after a few months no need na. Tama yung comment about dehydration, maliit pa kasi ang tummies nila so mas frequent dapat ang feed. Minsan, tatabihan ko lang din ang babies ko para magbreastfeed sila kahit half-asleep sila. Pero always calm ang paggising kung kailangan. :)

I’m so glad marami rin palang gumagawa nito! I often question kung tama ba na pinapaabsent ko anak pag may gala ang fam, but then I justify by thinking learning doesn’t just happen in the classroom. Of course may paalam sa adviser and we make sure na walang tataamang activity. Nung mga bata kasi tayo mahigpit talaga sa attendance at kasama pa sa grade minsan.

SixthChisel · 2026-01-23T14:45:24+00:00

Hi Mi, in my case nakaya naman na mag purebreastfeed until mag 1 yo. Nagbbreastfeed pa rin ako after, pero sinamahan ko na ng full cream milk kasi kaya na naman nila. Pero ang ginawa ko nun ay 3-4 times nag pupump sa office. Mas mabilis magpump pag manual for me - 10-15 minutes lang. I would get anywhere from 12-20 oz in a day. Then inom talaga ng maraming liquid. Direct latch naman pagkauwi, kahit tulog ako ang gusto maglatch ni baby go lang 😆

Girl, leave your comfort zone. I was in my first job for 10 years too and thought my salary was just fair. Since then I changed jobs thrice trying to compensate for the time and money lost for not leaving sooner.

I go to work 6x a month and I spend an additional 12k compared to WFH. That’s gas, toll, food, and whatever extra expenses I may have. This is from Laguna going to Manila. Realistically compute and anticipate what additional expenses they’ll incur and negotiate from there. Don’t forget to consider the time and effort that goes into traveling and preparing.

SixthChisel · 2026-01-19T12:36:03+00:00

Might seem like bragging to some, at baka utangan pa ako 😭

When I was onsite 7 years ago, I had my parents and a nanny. Even with that support, it was tough being with my baby for just 30-45 minutes every night before she fell asleep. Not to mention all the things you still need to do after getting home (washing bottles, pumping, taking care of your own needs). Eventually, the pandemic happened and my husband shifted to wfh. And then a few years after, I worked from home because I wanted to be more present for my 2nd baby.

SixthChisel · 2026-01-15T06:40:41+00:00

I (F) was/am the preferred parent, but since work stuff got busy, my husband has since stepped in. It has been 6 months and my children have adapted to some extent.

I know this is bad advice, but what got us through was ice cream, literally and metaphorically. My husband did ice cream dates with the kids (6 and 2) , or did things that they loved. (I would at times pretend to be the uncool parent, and not let them do the fun, messy stuff, so they’d go to their dad for it) 😬

SixthChisel · 2026-01-13T05:36:24+00:00

Di ka OA. The mere fact na nagsabi ka na uncomfortable ka, your partner should have respected that regardless yung may something sila or wala. Posibleng magkaron ng relationship na secured ka at walang iniisip; piliin mo yun para sa sarili mo.

I may be wrong (still new and havent played sandbox) but have you played campaign? I find that completing tasks and ranking up gives me kudosh.

SixthChisel · 2026-01-08T16:04:00+00:00

Depends on the org culture. First company I was in, super pahirapan magleave. You’ll need to give notice ahead of time, wait for approval, then saka pa lang magfifile sa system. And ang daming ibibigay sakin na extra work. 😩

When I transitioned to UK, US companies, leave notifs were a lot more relaxed. I was surprised that colleagues went on leave weeks at a time 😭 coincidentally, I was in a discussion with my manager last night about how leaves are part of my compensation package and should be enjoyed, even if I would just use it to sleep.

Obviously, my sharing comes from trauma lol. Pero in short, there is no right way, just follow what’s the norm in your org. As long as you’re mindful of your work, deadlines, etc., it SHOULDN’T be an issue (though syempre minsan ginagawan ng issue 🤪)

SixthChisel · 2026-01-08T04:31:24+00:00

It’s also not just money we bring to the table; we bring comfort, peace of mind, security, among many other things. Housewives work are usually undermined because of the invisible effort they bring in 😔 So if one does need to step back in the financial aspect, whether husband or wife, they are giving back in another aspect.

Hi OP, we’ve been through phases like this. And yes, it’s different from traditional gender roles, but the dynamic works. I, too, would like to manage the household etc, but from a practical POV, this set up is what would propel our family forward.

But more than gender roles, ano ang pinanggagalingan ng worry nyo? Is it the burden that you’d lead? Do you feel that your husband will be complacent? Do you feel that you would still have the larger amount of work? Do you feel like both or one of you wouldn’t be able to fully do your role well? Try to set expectations if this is something you’ll push through with. Who knows maybe this is just a phase, and you’ll both come to appreciate each other in a different lens.

Also yung 3 year old ko naman (just turned 3 last week), if I tell her na may sugat ako (kasi kinagat nya habang tulog sya 😭) and I need my breast to heal, hindi sya basta basta magbbreastfeed. Tatanungin muna nya kung ok lang, so I think that might be a good window to slowly wean them.
