I want what’s best for my children…don’t you?

Do parents really know what’s best for their children? That question just crossed my mind as I was watching a TV show where the parents were trying to separate their children and forbidding them from being friends with each other, even though they did nothing wrong…

When children are still young, we, parents can decide almost everything for them. But there comes a time when they can already decide for themselves and sometimes their decision is to disobey what we tell them to do.

I for one, as a parent only want what’s best for my daughters. But there are times when I’m not even sure what is ‘best’ for them…So I just try hard to be a good father to them and provide them with whatever they need and want.

About Me

Hi, I’m a retired contractual employee since last year, of a shipping company based in Manila. The shipping industry suffered a major setback due to the global economic crisis. Since then, many employees find it hard to be hired again- because only a few slots are available, many waited for 6 months and some even almost a year to sign a contract again. I was affected too- I was one of them. So while at home, I surf the net to keep myself busy. And I find many things that interest me- one of them are blogs. I have read some of them, and I was encouraged to make my own blog…
Here, I would like to share to others- to the world, my life experiences; I’d also discuss about anything that comes to mind- anything under the sun… :)
I have been a sailor for almost 20 years. And being away from one’s family is a sacrifice one must bear to ensure a better and comfortable life for my loved ones. Before, I have earned quite enough for my family…but now that I’m jobless I’ve got to find some ways to support them- since my 2 daughters are still in school. Good thing, we still have a few savings...and my wife and I are planning to put up a small sari-sari store (a store who sells foods and other things). Before we come to that time...I'd make myself busy on blogging- I'm here to share my knowledge and experiences on everything... I hope you like it-- please do follow me...and feel free to write comments and suggestions, and I'll surely reply to them soon...Thank you...
