  Hi DJ Chloe,

  I’m a fan of Easy Rock since I came here in Manila year 2011. I hope mapili mo ‘tong letter ko. I’m a working mom of two (2) kids. Kaka-two months lang ng second child ko nu’ng 25. Kakabalik ko lang work, wala kami mahanap na yaya. Kung kani-kanino na ako nagpahanap wala talaga. My husband is working in a call center. Me, I’m working in an advertising company. Pag-uwi ng husband ko from work siya nag-aalaga ng two (2) kids. Tapos half of the day ‘yung brother ko, which is nag-eextra sa office na pinapasukan ko. Walking distance lang ako sa work ko kaya nakakauwi ako to feed my baby. ‘Yung husband ko medyo nahihirapan na kasi puyat siya. Pinaparesign niya ako, kaso five (5) years na ako sa company ko nasasayangan po talaga ako. Medyo nahihirapan na din ako sa ganitong set up. Eh hindi din naman kalakihan sahod ng husband ko. Ano po kaya dapat kong gawin? Magre-resign po ba ako? Please DJ need your advice .

  Thanks,

  Hi Kei,

  I gave your letter a long thought before I decided to post it on Chloe’s Inbox and give an advice. Your husband has a point, it is really ideal na ikaw ang mag-alaga since you’re the mom. Secondly, baka bumagsak ang katawan ng asawa mo, tatlo na silang aalagaan mo. You also have a point, sayang ng kinikita mo, magkano ba? 20k a month? If you’re going to work from home, you’ll earn more than that. Ang dami ng home-based jobs ngayon, sis. All you need is a laptop and a strong internet. Be resourceful. When I was also taking care of my kids, I felt like it’s taking them forever to grow. But now, I have all the time to sleep, to work, and to do what I want dahil malalaki na sila. I am glad I was a hands-on mom, both of my kids were breastfed. Nu’ng medyo lumalaki na, I started working again, kailangan na. What I’m trying to say is your situation now is telling you to be a mother… be one. Kaya mo ‘yan Kei. Ang dami ng nauna sa’yo, isa na ako dun.
