REWARDS OF BEING A MOM

- HONEY JARQUE LOOP

The best thing about being a mom is undoubtedl­y raising children. They provide unconditio­nal love and joy into our lives. Seeing them smile, learn and grow is an incredibly rewarding experience. Mothers have the privilege of imprinting their values on a tiny person and hoping to make a positive difference in the world.

Raising children likewise teaches parents to prioritize family. It is a journey filled with sacrifices from dedicating time and money to curbing personal freedoms.

The keyis to treasure children and treat them with respect. In other words, guide them with love. While it is not always easy, being a mom is the most rewarding job in the world!

Let’s read on what Cebuana moms are most grateful for as they raised their children:

MARIVIC BORROMEO

Witnessing unselfish acts, seeing them tackle challenges independen­tly, observing their kindness towards others are my greatest rewards as a mom.

LISETTE GARCIA

Bonding with my children is my greatest joy as it strengthen­s our relationsh­ip and promotes well-being by providing emotional support and a sense of security. It instills good habits and respect for parental authority.

ANNETTE MENDEZONA

The most rewarding aspect in raising Marianne is that we were able to give her all the love and attention. Best of all, she didn’t turn out to be a spoiled child as what people say of an only child.

MARGET VILLARICA

Seeing my children happy with their own families and being successful in their own careers is the most rewarding aspect of being a mom.

THERESE GONZALEZ

I find fulfillmen­t in nurturing and experienci­ng profound love from my children. Motherhood is a privilege and a journey of personal and emotional growth.

JOY ONGLATCO

Motherhood is a gift. My daughters have taught me to learn, listen, nurture, protect and, most of all, to love unconditio­nally.
