Maalaala Fathers Special, Father as the household and the mother works in italy

Hi dorothy.... Yeah I'm watching it too but I'm missing some of it because my papa keeps changing on chanels. well I think my father knows how much I care for him i may not say it often but actions speak louder than words. I say it once in a while but not often. The meaning usually gets lost when you say it often.

I am sure it will be a very touching episode of Maalala Mo Kaya. It is not easy to become a houseband or an Inatay because that also means swallowing up their ego as a man. Happy Father's day to all the fathers.

Aw, I can't watch that episode because I'm at work right now. But I've seen the episode's trailer and that already touched my heart. I was also touched when my wife brought home a father's day cake. This is my first time to celebrate father's day and it feels good really. I just love my daughter and wife so much. Happy Father's Day to all!

I don't think there's anything wrong with a father being the homemaker and the one who takes care of his children. Men are traditionally the bread winners, but it's okay if they would stay at home as long as they will still share responsibilities with their wife. It's hard to earn money, but being a homemaker is hard too, so we should not think of stay-at-home fathers as useless, lazy people.

Hello dorothy, to be honest, having a dad at home with the kids and MOM working in abroad is something that truly feels akward to me.well, the series is over now, i just can't believe charo santos is still the story teller. my dad works abroad and it's really nice to cal him tomorrow since it's considered father's day. but in this story am glad they didn't split up, something i fear the most.

I think its also fine if the father is the one looking for the kids and not the mother. As long as he's doing his duties and responsibilities as a father. But I would rather prefer that both of the parents are working. And if possible all of them are together and not like their case where the mother is working in other country. The story is really inspiring. Happy father's day to all fathers out there.

I didn't watch it, but I know it's a tear-jerker. Further, I really am worried about the whole 'inatay' thing. I mean, if this phenomenon lasts more than a decade, there'd be more depressed husbands all the more. Just imagine your wife having jobs and higher pay than you and you left with the kids and just do about every chore your wife should be doing. Whew. I know there's the whole gender equality thing, but there's also psychological implications here. I asked my partner how he'd feel if I was the head of the family and the one bringing in the bacon and wearing the pants. He says it's demeaning for him to be in that situation. Don't get me wrong, he loves manning kids but the whole point is, it takes a lot of caring and sensitivity to figure out what these kids want. Just imagine when the rooster starts taking care of the chicks, then the hen starts crowing at the break of dawn. It may be okay but it's just not right.

So sad and yet touching to know that u are still missing your father, and u do really love him alot And u are right, we should be showing how much we love our partners or family members, when they are still around.. IF not, by time they are gone, whatever we say or plan to do, will be all too late, and even regrets wont be bringing them back too.. As such, shower love on them, whenever we can, and after all, all of us are family and there's nothing to be awkward about.. hehe

It's pretty much common nowadays that the father stays in the house to take care of the children and the wife goes abroad to work and earn money for the family. One of our neighbors here is the father and daughter of his 7 years old son. His wife is working abroad as a nurse. I often see him together with his son bringing him to school. I think the life of the children will be complete if both parents are present in the house most of the day or after work. But then it's a tough situation when the wife has more opportunity to work abroad than the father. Anyways our neighbor is doing nicely in taking good care of his son.

hi there, too bad, i missed that episode. but anyway i think if were able to watch that it will also make me cry. the last that i have watch the program is a replay and a special for mother's day and it really makes me cry a lot. yeah, i also admire those men who can be a father and a mom to their children, its not easy to do such thing and it takes a lot of sacrifices. huh! i am glad that i was able to let my father feel how much i love him and i was able to tell him how proud i am to have him as a father despite all those things that we have been through. we should always cherish every moment that we have with our parents coz they will not going to be here forever. show them our love now, while we still have time before we regret things in the future.

Hi Dorothy, I was able to relate with it last night. i worked i the US for almost two years as social worker and my hubby took the responsibility of tsaking care of our kids while i am away. i came back with the hopes that i will bring them once i go back to the US hopefully this year and the most is next year!
