When I was young:

I still remember the days when I would buy Parenting books before my first child was born. When I decided to take care of lovebirds, I would also buy books about lovebirds. It has been my way of learning. Books coupled with research and by asking other people’s personal experiences on matter that interest me.

I would buy cassette tapes of nursery rhyme and children stories, encyclopedia and other educational toys for them in preparation for their schooling. I would buy them toys that I myself never have the chance to play when I was a kid. I always wanted to buy for them what I think they would need later on. I decided for them. These last two sentences is my greatest mistake as I realize and I would tell you later.

Those were the Days:

When they were young, I have to spank them when I think it is necessary but I have to explain to them the reason why. When we have a visitor and they are not behaving well, one look at them and they know what I wanted them to do is to be quite. I am strict and disciplinarian as what my Chinese father showed us. I decided what I think is good for my family.

The Awakening:

One time when two of my daughters were already in high school my wife and me had a misunderstanding about decision-making. Right there, like a bubble bursting with anger she told me what she and our children felt. Yes I would ask for their opinion but I never listen to them. My ego was crushed like a castle being flattened after being hit by Intensity 7 quake. I was dumbfounded. But it opened up my mind to the realization that my children are not happy as I expected them to be. My parenting technique is an old fashioned traditional style “where father knows best”.

Now I know:

I think I have evolved and could call myself a thinking Daddy. I have adjusted my style of dealing with my children as I grow older and as they were too. I have learned a lot also from my wife and my kids. I am a disciplinarian but cool daddy as my children would tell me. I act now more as a friend than a daddy I used to be.

Parenting for me is like traveling in a two way street. We must listen and give way to other as much as we wanted to be given way. Like a pedestrian, you have to stop, look and listen before making your final move to cross the street.

As the saying goes “There is no such thing as right or wrong but thinking made it so”. If my style of parenting is good or bad, only time could tell. But for now I enjoy every minute of being a “Cool” daddy.

A disciplinarian but cool Daddy.

What’s your style of Parenting?

Life comes just once so let’s make the most of it.
Yes, now we always see each other. When I arrived home from work and you would great me different kinds of greetings each night. – The feeling is great. I am happy with that. You see me not only as a Father but also as a friend.

Some of our neighbors envied me because you are all polite. Yours sentences is always punctuated by “po” and “opo”. Anyone of you would smile and greet them upon bumping or seeing them. You always stay home not like other children who are always in the street or in gimmicks.

You have all grown up and I have this feeling of pride and admiration for all of you because you are all responsible in your own ways. There are times that I got mad when you forgot to do what was asked of you. I see it as part of your growing up. You tend to focus more on your watching T.V., computer games, friendster and yahoo messenger than what is being told of you. I hate it when I had to declare”no computer” as punishment especially when you start blaming who is the culprit. There were bad time, miss understanding, conflicts like all ordinary family but those makes our bonding stronger.

Remember when you do you school project and I would insist on helping you out (It is because I didn’t do my school project when I am studying, now you know). Kuya Nilo always helps me.

We always laugh…

We are a happy family that it seems to me we are making fun of everything. Your Tita Nora always complains that when I arrive home the surroundings becomes noisy. It is because of you and not me.When you ask for your “baon” to be increase but I told you that I would ask my Boss first to give me a raise.

When you are late in going home from school and your mother always calls you on your cell phone. You would tell me each time, and then we would make fun of your mother.
When during dinner time and someone in you will be at the mercy of his/ her joke. We do it all together.

While viewing boxing matches in our T.V screen and all your eyes are on me because of my gestures as if I am in the ring. I really hate it but we laugh about it.

While viewing Jacky Chan movies because, anybody will say the next dialogue because we have memorized all the lines.

When your mother will insist in viewing an old FPJ (Fernando Poe JR.) movie and we will leave her. Not until she would protest of being left out, then we would all comebacks.

We have this uncanny sense of communication that by only looking at one another we could understand each other whether to start laughing or have to do something.When your mother would give instruction and will clarify, repeat it and pass to the nearest person until it gets back to her.

When you are with me in every provincial assignment (during Christmas and School break) and I would cook never heard recipe I just learned in that place.

In us, no occasion is needed in order to give the other a gift or something we think the other one needed (not wanted, remember!).Even without telling us that you have a problem, I always feel it and I would tell your mother about my intuition. We can feel each other worries and happiness.

When one by one, each three of you would loose your cell phone in different circumstances; I would shrug it off and told you that it is replaceable but not your life. Then you would tell me that your classmates say I am “Cool” for that attitude. You just didn’t know that I cried when I went upstairs! So you would not see the “pain” it cause in my wallet!

I really appreciate all those things that we have been doing. I enjoyed every minute that we are together.

Let us enjoy life and show one another the love and care that we have for each other and to the people around us.

God didn’t give us everything to enjoy life but HE gave us life to enjoy everything.

I Love You Guys…
