Aiza Seguerra shares the joys and challenges of being a parent

When former Beauty Queen Liza Diño and actress-singer Aiza Seguerra started their relationship, Aiza became close with Liza’s daughter named Amara, and as Aiza and Liza tied the knot last December 8, 2014, she became a parent to Amara.

In an Instagram post, Aiza shared how challenging it is to become a parent. She is wondering if she and Liza are in the right track or are they protecting her enough; and if they are giving her enough explanation to understand their family’s situation so that she will be able to brush off negative criticisms or bullies in the future.

“Maraming mga nangyayari lately na bilang magulang nakakatakot isipin na mangyari sa sarili mong anak. Kahit yata anong gawin natin para maihanda sila sa kung pwedeng ibigay ng buhay, hindi pa rin magiging enough yon. Kahit anong pag protekta ang gusto natin gawin, may hangganan din yon. Kapag bata tayo, parang napakaganda ng buhay. Ang mundo ay isang malaking Disneyland. Lahat maganda. Perfect. Pagdating ng teenager, para ka naman pinagsakluban ng langit at lupa. Napakaraming pagbabago ang hindi natin maintindihan. Akala natin alam na natin lahat. Tapos biglang hindi mo mapapansin, adult ka na. Mas marami pa palang surprise ang buhay. Maraming good surprises pero marami ding bad.

Minsan pag tinitignan ko tong anak ko. Kinakabahan ako. Normal lang ba yon? Kinakabahan ako sa kung anong mga pwedeng dumating. Will she grow up to be a good person? Tama ba yung mga ginagawa kong pag disiplina at pagpapalaki sa kanya? Ang hirap pala maging magulang. Coz more than the physical na pag-aalaga, mas kailangan mong pagtuunan ng pansin yung mga bagay na hindi mo nakikita. How she thinks, how she behaves, how she feels, ang dami pa.

Pag nag-uusap kami, I always tell her about life. How beautiful it is but minsan mahirap din. I always tell her to be tough, especially sa sitwasyon namin where she can be bullied because of our family. Ang pangarap ko para sa kanya eh lumaki siyang marunong maka appreciate sa lahat ng nangyayari sa kanya maganda man o pangit at the same time eh maging matatag sa pagharap ng mga problemang darating sa kanya and that she learns from each one so she knows how to handle the next one life will dish out. I always tell her and show her that she can tell me anything without fear of being judged. Kung nagkamali siya at napagalitan, I always explain kung bakit siya napagalitan so she understands. Secrets kill relationships. It’s not easy being a parent, especially kasi pumasok ako sa buhay ni Amara when she was already 4 years old. But as my wife told me, openness is the key to everything. My mom and dad taught me well.

Sharing with you guys what she wrote. Seeing this makes me calm down for a moment. Feeling ko, kahit papaano, we’re on the right track.”

In the end, Aiza said that looking at what their daughter wrote, it made her realize that she has nothing to fear because she knows that being a parent is not easy yet openness is a key to being a good one.
