Dearie,
You have sparked the attention of a lot of mothers out there, and I'm here to voice out my opinion as a daughter.
Let me introduce myself. I'm a twenty-four-year-old unmarried and childless writer who grew up not really seeing my mom that much, and was raised by a hands-on dad, a doting grandma, protective sisters, and a string of
yayas. I have two older sisters who are in their thirties and are apparently "fake" hands-on moms because they are not at par to your
losyang standards in your oh-so wonderful article "
How to spot a fake hands-on mom of toddlers." (And by the way, both of them have toddlers
and one-year-olds, and they still are hands-on moms, have time to work full-time, and look as young to pass as college girls.)
I am the youngest from a brood of three, and at the time of my birth, things were financially difficult for my family, so my mom had to work her ass off to give all of us a future. I barely remember my mom in a lot of my childhood memories. Heck, she wasn't even there when I had my menarche.
