As a mother, it is my heart's desire to be the best that I can be which I believe is a normal thing. So I make sure I spend time with my kids. However, at sometimes, it's hard to spend that quality time with one and not reject the other. Know what I mean? Especially that Meimei (my 2nd child) has a special need - and that is taking care of her colostomy and her dilations., sometimes I can't help but "reject" some of Elisha's (my first born) requests. So inorder to assure my son that I do love him and want to spend time with him, I have this DATE with him.Our “Date Day” is scheduled every Saturday afternoon after his children’s choir practice in church. Most of the time we go to the mall to do 2 things: (1) arcade to play basketball :D and (2) eat whatever he likes to eat. Sometimes I buy toys or stuff for him (based on the budget) and sometimes he gets to decide a surprise “pasalubong” (gift) for his sister... Click here for full details of our date day.
So parents, no matter how busy we are, let's not forget that spending time with our kids as individuals is very important.
