  • She became a single mom at the age of 24. It was a tough time, but her son grew up and is now 19. It's sorry that she lost time to talk to her son while working 4 jobs, but she wants to raise him without any shortage. Hope this mom and her son happily every after.

    She's an amazing Mum. Not enough credit goes to single Mothers who were abandoned by their spouse. She is a strong,solid woman who has raised a great son. The awkwardness between Mother and son is totally normal for a teen, it's just a phase they go through. You can tell that he really loves and appreciates his Mum.

    I was raised by a single mom. All the anger that built up since the divorce bubbled to the surface when I was 17 and I said some things that also got me a slap to the face. Only now that I'm an adult, i realized how my mom worked so hard to keep it together with not much financial support from my dad. Kudos to all you single parents who try to do right by your children.

I have colleagues who are Filipinos and they are great! They deserve to have higher salaries and not to be looked down just bec of their color or diction. In every country even in North America or Europe not everyone are privileged. Same goes with Asean countries.

When a Pakistani teacher (darkskinned, traditionally-dressed) came into view one day, they burst into laughter in unison. Sternly, I cut that short with a question: why are you laughing? You could've heard a pin drop. They didn't know what to say. Suffice to say that they received a lesson on why they should never repeat the behavior ever in future. Fact is, the parents of the school specifically asked that we don't hire non-Caucasian looking teachers. But few had the teaching qualifications we needed.

      @@jd-pw8yvThe same would happen in when teaching in China and South Korea. The best “qualifications” for a teacher seemed to be “White” in both, and in Korea, “female” due to their fear of male pedophiles. It was ridiculous. I did live in a Chinese city that was, at the time, more welcoming of non-White teachers, but I don’t know if it’s the same today as I’ve heard there has been an uptick in xenophobia since I left. I definitely had Black American friends with several years teaching experience that found it very difficult to find jobs when compared to no-experience White teachers in places like Beijing and Shanghai. Also, in Korea, you never wanted to admit you had ever been depressed on an application. It was a guarantee you wouldn’t be hired. Also, unless you’re well connected within the Korean educational complex when you lean into your 40’s, you’ll probably have a difficult time finding a job. Youth, as we all know, is highly valued in Korea. In fact, some schools prefer younger teachers because they are easier to manipulate whereas older, more experienced teachers know exactly what their schools can and cannot make them do per their contracts.

    Thr son got so emotional because he's been feeling alone since 5th grade, it must have been hard for him not having physical and moral support from his Mom, he's also still young he's probably at a sensitive phase right now and it's best to fix their relationship right now, communication is basic, but it's really hard to have a good one.

He will grow up to understand one day, and his experience and feelings are so valid, he only wants to be heard and understood. I'm confident he will grow up to become a strong, intelligent, kind and talented guy, the way they both work so hard to make it.

Of course he won’t trust her or want to talk. My dad is filipino and he is the same way. Overbearing, easily losing his temper, controlling and terrible at communicating or problem solving.

    They are both lucky to have each other. Ate Genevie is doing her best to be a mother and father figure by working and caring for her son. Seongjae, on the other hand, is mature for his age. Despite the burden of being teased and the bottled-up feelings he can't express to his mother, he developed into a wonderful person. He understands his mother since he has always trusted her. Their love is strong in their connection. They just don't know how to express it properly, but I'm glad they are now. Baby steps...hoping for their future happiness and continued prosperity.

    It’s hard sometimes realizing that kids are not always trying to be disrespectful with their words. Sometimes, they are so full of emotions that it just spills out. Later, when everyone is calm again, then express to them a more appropriate way to convey their thoughts. A lot of the time they will come back and apologize for sounding disrespectful.

    I applaud her for her commitment! I notice that the son’s upbringing is different with the way he behaves! Maybe he is just shy but in the Philippines, the upbringing is more extrovert. Filipinos are mostly laid back, hospitable, friendly, and always cheerful. I have Korean friends and I can tell the difference when it comes to social interaction! They are less engaging!

If he really wanted to divorce her, fine but he should have at least provided financial support to his son. What if the mom was not resourceful and hardworking what could have happened to them?

      Those words are truly so hurting that your Son is ashamed of you. You couldn't also blame the Son because the culture is very different. It's not like in her mother's country that no matter how ugly and how poor their life can be, the Filipino children were so proud announcing their parents of who they are broadcasting them on t.v. live shows of being so proud of their disabled, ugly, impoverished, dirty and shameful jobs.

    My brother and I was raised by a single mother too. Just like Genevie my mom worked hard just so she can bring food to the table, pay rent and our school's tuition fees. She didn't have a lot of time to spend with us because she always needs to work and on to the next work opportunity she gets. When I was at Genevie son's age, I was a bit aloof towards my mother because I got used of her not always at home a lot. However, I realized with everything my mother sacrificed and missed out because she has to put us first always; all I can do to repay her is show how much a I love her, value her and be more affectionate to her and my mother was happy and she felt loved. I hope Genevie's son will soon realized it, and at least be more affectionate to his mother and spend time with her whenever she's at home. Mothers like Genevie they often feel lonely too and they need love. I SALUTE ALL THE MOTHERS OUT THERE LIKE MY MOTHER AND GENEVIE. SENDING ALL MY LOVE AND RESPECT TO ALL OF YOU. =)

    One of the worst things you can ever do as a parent is not allow your child or children to express their feelings to you. As long as they remain respectful and are not violent, let them speak. It may be hard to hear, but it's necessary for both of you. She slapped her son in the face and started saying awful things to him and look how that tore apart the close bond they had. It's better to let your child share their feelings, even if they become emotional. And not only allow them to share but you need to listen, hear what they have to say. It was very hard for me to hear her son speak about his need to speak openly with his mother and the harsh response he received. He can not say "I love you" or even hug his mother because she hurt him so deeply. Yes, it's extremely stressful being a single parent. But that's not your child's fault. And you should never take those frustrations out on the child. Because that child is suffering with you.
