i now see the reason why it is always better to have one half of the family taking care of the children.

i've always wondered why some people are more complete in their conviction in their lives than i am. and what i have noticed is that most of these people whom i felt were more complete was raised by their parents. i was raised mostly by our household maid, tita mely. my parents would always be out when i was growing up particularly because it was the peak of their careers and their job needed more time away from their families. some sacrifices needed to be made so that their children can have better opportunities in life. i guess this was also particularly true with my brother. We almost always had the same experiences.

i've always strived to be that complete person so that i can give myself completely to my special other.

I now see why the OFW phenomena is destroying families, destroying the values of the young and creating a lost generation of young filipinos. i was lucky to have my parents work in the same country tho. i'm just thinking, paano pa yung ibang kids na OFW pareho yung parents.

I now see the importance of the huge tax incentives/cuts in first world countries when you have a child who is a minor. This gives space for one of the parents to take less taxing jobs. One half who can take care of the children and raise them properly, give more time to the family. I now see the importance of having laws protect your career. some countries would have laws that inhibit companies for taking "a vacation/break" from work negatively. This is because it is always better to have 'raising' of the children be rotating between the parents. the traditional role of the wife is not applicable anymore in this modern age. the wife too has career goals and dreams for herself that she wants to satisfy. and this means that the man must give way by taking the turn raising the children.

I want that to happen for myself in the future. I would want that only one parent works so that the other can give time to the children.
