You Know You're a Pinoy Mom My Version

We Filipinos are very unique, especially when it comes to raising children. Just some random thoughts about being a Filipino mom. I am confident a lot of moms (and children) can relate.

You know you're a Pinoy mom when...
1. You let your child "swim" outside your house using a big basin/batya.

2. You let your child play with a tabo when bathing.

3. One of the first greetings you teach your baby is to "bless" or mano.
4. You know and (unlike me) believe in the word usog.
5. Ninongs and ninangs are very important people in your family's life.

6. Once your baby starts eating, you give them Marie biscuit.

Miss this biscuit?

7. You have additional house help just for your baby/kid, and most call them yaya or ate. (does not apply to all moms)

These are some of the unique things I have experienced or witnessed as a Pinoy mom. It makes the motherhood journey more memorable and interesting.

There's a lot more to add here. Do you have anything to add to this list?
