ethanmama @ethanmama (1745) • Philippines 15 Mar 07

Stay at home, or have a job?

ethanmama @ethanmama (1745) • Philippines 13 Feb 07

Would you allow your kids to be become child celebrities or models?

kitakitts @kitakitts (188) • Philippines 14 Feb 07

ldmagat NAH.... I guess, I'm more of an overprotective mom than a stage mom. IF the time comes and our daughter wants to do so, i will support her. but for me to endorse her at an early age, i guess i won't. thanks for this question, it actually made me think.
