This is one of the most rewarding parts of motherhood, when you can instill in young minds ideas that make them realize they are part of a much larger world. It's wonderful to watch them realize this. Your conversation with your son reminds me so much of the conversation we had with our daughters when we first moved to N.C. from Los Angeles and my daughter asked, "Dad, who owns all the trees?". I think this conversation lasted for days :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977563004357944096.post-73485547713969542042004-09-19T20:32:00.000-04:002004-09-19T20:32:00.000-04:00Hi JMom,Yeah, that's one of the rewards that I che...Hi JMom,<br>Yeah, that's one of the rewards that I cherish despite the hardships of parenting and doing most of the household chores where we can't afford a housekeeper...haha! Though madalas I tend to scowl sa kakulitan ng mga bata, when we do things together, I think about what desirable outcome I can have and how to go about it so kids will learn to accept the chores and the rules quite happily and really learn a lot, creating substance in their very person. That's not quite possible when mothers rely heavily on yayas and maids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977563004357944096.post-38174743449312575772004-09-19T22:02:00.000-04:002004-09-19T22:02:00.000-04:00That is so true.

It is one of the hardest jobs, motherhood, but its rewards are immesurable. <br>Thanks for your kind comments on our blog, Jade was really flattered. BTW, tell Patrick she is 11 years old. She has an older sister who is 12, and a younger sister who is 6. They all have blogs too, check out their links from Jade-n-Mom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977563004357944096.post-27449850769421912152004-09-24T23:50:00.000-04:002004-09-24T23:50:00.000-04:00Manang, is this cut of beef fr one of your in-law'...Manang, is this cut of beef fr one of your in-law's cows? Kasi dito, they only offer the standing rib roast or hotel style rib roast, bone in, during THEIR holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter)... It's our favorite cut, really juicy and flavorful and so easy to cook. Only need A1 and oyster sauce.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977563004357944096.post-40079143639550861762004-09-26T19:35:00.000-04:002004-09-26T19:35:00.000-04:00drstel, yap! from my in-law's cow. That piece was ...drstel, yap! from my in-law's cow. That piece was my last roast cut for the whole year's beef supply, which I cooked during my older son's 10th birthday. The other roast cuts I have used also for the various holidays/occasions. I have always slow-cooked them in the crockpot, not in the oven. So juicy and yummy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
