jodyliwanag Actually, Dunkin Donuts is not that good here in the Philippines. I don't know if they did change the recipe or probably they just adjusted the taste to the palette of Filipinos. When I tasted Dunkin Donuts abroad, it's actually delicious. I have tasted Krispy...

who is in the much better position to handle the "money" and do the "budgeting"?

manong05 @manong05 (5027) • Philippines 14 Jan 07

The husband or the wife? Any practical reason? Who does the budgeting in your home?

jodyliwanag I believe that budgeting and monetary matters depends on each household. It's a matter of compromise with husband and wife. In our case, I'm the one spending for most of the bills at home because I'm just good in SPENDING and not on SAVING. My husband on the...

Show me your payslip?

manong05 @manong05 (5027) • Philippines 14 Jan 07

Is it really necessary for a spouse to check the payslip? Some working spouses find it a normal thing to do and the wives keep the record just in case there is a need for it in the future. But it seems, at least in my circle of...

jodyliwanag I actually don't ask for my husband's payslip. Although I know how much he is earning. I don't want to impose to him that I have to see his payslip. I actually trust him and I really don't mind even if he is not showing it to me.

jodyliwanag I am a night person. It is so hard to get up in the morning after being tired of doing most of my work at night. I'm pimped up during the evenings.

jodyliwanag We currently have two beautiful daugthers. If you are going to ask me, I'm good already with them but there's still some thought for trying for another one. I just hope it's going to be a boy this time.

Is being a good cook part of being a good wife?

manong05 @manong05 (5027) • Philippines 10 Feb 07

When we got married, my wife didn't know how to cook then aside from boiling rice (often burnt), frying eggs and making salads. We both experimented on lots of things following any recipe we can get hold of and finally, I can...

being a good cook

1 response

jodyliwanag It could be one of the advantage of being a good wife but it shouldn't be a requirement. In our case, my husband is a better cook than me. He really loves cooking. I learn things from him so I can say that I have worked my way to become a good cook as well.

Is this a matter of "trust" or "propriety"?

manong05 @manong05 (5027) • Philippines 22 Feb 07

jodyliwanag I cannot blame your wife for the decision she made. I also feel the same way sometimes, not just particularly about the household help but with everything else. I do trust my husband very much but there are just some people around him that I do not trust, or...
