I think I am in the stage where I wonder if my daughter is having an infatuation or possibly a boyfriend. You might wonder what triggered my notion without possible evidence. Well, let’s just say there were times I have seen them and the constant phone calls and messages are not normal for a “friendly level” and some people have seen her with the same “fellow” from her class. I’ll leave it at that.
I have asked her casually if someone is courting her but she kept saying none. I know she’s a sensible kid but I am not sure how she would be like when it comes to matters of the young heart.
All I can do is to keep reminding her of her priorities at this stage. She can have a boyfriend when she’s done schooling and that’s not soon. I just hope she will listen.
Thinking of all these “young love” stuff makes me too old and appreciative of how my mom handled this matter with me and my sister. I can feel the worry and fear now that my daughter is in the age where she will be courted by a boy in her class, she can get crushes and she will be the subject of someone’s affection.
As a mother, I feel relieved to know that someone likes her. That means, she’s ok and that she’s likeable. But what concerns me is that, she’s too young to be in an exclusive relationship with a boy. There will be time for that. Not now…
Ah, motherhood… It’s giving me stomach and head aches now!

Oh no, I don’t even want to think about it for a while loll. Ngayon pa nga lang sakit na ng ulo, pag teenager pa kauya ng anak ko hayyy
November 11, 2013 at 12:05 amI didn’t realize it’ll be daunting sis. Ganun pala nafeel ng parents natin while we were growing up as well…
November 11, 2013 at 1:54 pmKaya pala parang guardia civil si Papa noon sakin. It made me feel rebellious that time but glad I listened!
December 13, 2013 at 12:43 pmIt’s a different ballgame now sis. Iba pala talaga ang feeling kapag ikaw na ang nasa place ng being a parent. Now, all the more I understood the good intentions of my parents who kept me in their close watch. Like you, I am glad I listened. But the generation now is very different. They believe in what they want to and they are exposed in the not-so-good meaning of “love.”
December 14, 2013 at 5:47 pmJust don’t push too hard sis at baka di na tuloy magconfide sayo hehehe.
November 11, 2013 at 12:31 amLOL. I think most mothers feel that way especially for their daughters. I hope she listens and follows.
November 11, 2013 at 2:14 amI would like to think I still have years to prepare before that happens to me. lol
November 11, 2013 at 2:21 pmSavor those many years sis… 🙂
November 12, 2013 at 6:50 pmHi Sis. I felt the same way too for my teen aged daughter but I am trying to be more friendly to her so she would open up to me about ”young love” thing one day, but so far she’s still acting like a baby sometimes and I hope she will remain that way (lol). Maybe, just try to be more mindful about your daughter Sis but don’t control too hard. 🙂
November 11, 2013 at 11:17 pmI think, eventually, I will really have to accept the idea that my daughter will one day find a lad whom she’ll have special relationship with. Facts of life…
November 12, 2013 at 6:51 pmOh dear, love is in the air 🙂 Just keep talking to her sis with mix teasing or kiliging hehehe And of course, with motherhood touch and advice that she should put top priorities first.
December 13, 2013 at 12:46 amI guess it’s gonna be a challenge handling young love as adults looking over kids.
December 13, 2013 at 5:19 amYou’re right bro. It’s way different and very challenging to be in the position of being a parent. *sigh*
