This is tag from Nice, my greatest fear as a mother.
I just realized that my greatest fear aside from loosing her (getting married) is if she will start schooling (so soon). I’m afraid that she will learn things that she’s not supposed to learn. I’m afraid that she will be exposed with peer pressure at school and will be hard for her to resist or say no. I’m afraid that she will feel alone that doesn’t celebrate holidays.
I once felt alone and weird for not celebrating holidays at school. The more when the teacher asked what did you do for the holy week or christmas vacation. This sometimes asked you to write it in your theme paper. I remember I’m not bold to talk about my faith. And often I have teary eyes while explaining why.
Lately, I always tell Lianne to pray when she feels alone and talk to Jehovah. I even told her that when I’m gone or if we’re not around God can see her and she can talk to Him. The world is so cruel and I don’t want her to feel alone.
(Thanks for the tag Nice.. naluha ako remembering things.. lol )

You know what, I had a classmate way back in HS who was really a Jehovah’s witness advocate – meaning active sya sa religion nila (meron kasi ako classmate Jehovah pero non practicing). Every Xmas party, party, at celebration lagi sya kantyaw kasi di sya sumasali. Pero never syang nagbreakdown na sumali. In a way, I admired her for it. Her faith is so grounded and rooted to very being of her core.
Sana ganun din si Lianne paglaki. She wont regret it.
reading yours and aggie’s responses to the tag made me realize that my worries are nothing compared to yours. thumbs-up to all mothers!
hugs
Thanks for doing the tag sis. Siguro yan ang fear ko rin when Andre will be at school age like Lianne. I want him to grow up in the faith and stand up for what he believes in despite of what other people thinks.
You may read what other moms think at mommastuff.com. I’ve displayed all the links. Kakatuwa magbasa ng mga sagot. hehehe
Thanks Aggie sana nga maging ganun c Lianne. It was tough in my case before kasi hindi pa ganun ka open people about different faith. And I’m glad I survived those years
Things really change when you become a parent. You will see that too soon
Thanks for hopping Kaje!
When I was reading your tag.. akala ko simple lang but when I start thinking and really digging what’s my greatest fear nangilid luha ko.. hahaha
hi amor,
can you still remember me?? i’m one of your office mate way back informatics time i am one of the financial analyst together with terry and bugs.
i was so fascinated with your website of which malou shared with me. we are working together here in manila.
actually i want to add my insight regarding your question: what is my greatest fear as a mother?
well for me my greatest fear is that we will not be able to trained him to be a responsible and God fearing person. Since he is a boy, for me i want to train him in the right way he should go so that eventhough we are no longer beside him we are at peace that he will still choose the right things to do. but i guess with a lot of prayers and a lot of love everything will fall into place as He planned it to be.
regards…
