Thanks Joyce, this is something I need to hear. Been a breadwinner for 22 yrs coz Im the eldest and still single at 43

Thank you Joyce, sobrang timing. Sana maapply ko sa sarili ko to, single and no child ako pero sa bigat ng responsibility ko, di ko na nakikita sarili ko na mag asawa. Minsan di na aappreciate lakas pa mang guilt trip.

This is so inspirational. I wish I could apply it to my self. As a single mom and a breadwinner for my first family, the challenges are overwhelming. Its so hard and tiring. I often find myself putting in extra effort just to support both my own family and my first family. I wish I didn’t have to put in so much effort just to meet the needs of both my own family and my first family all while trying to earn extra income from my job.

Much needed topic to hear. I am pregnant and now I get stressed thinking how can I sustain my ‘original family’ if I give birth later? I can’t work and walang Maternity Leave cuz I am working contractually. So hard.

The question is, paano ngang makakapag start ng sariling pamilya (mag aasawa, mag aanak) kung stuck sa pagtulong sa original family? Siguro hindi lang naman ako, marami dito ung may kakilalang magulang na ayaw pag asawahin muna ang anak kahit nasa proper age naman na, dahil takot ngang maputulan ng sustento or di na ganun kalaki yung sustento sa kanila once nag asawa na ang anak.. how do we deal with this? Is it okay na magpakasal without your parent's permission or blessing? (We all know naman yung balita before sa kasal ni mr. and mrs. G) nakakalungkot at ayoko rin namang ganito but howww??
