Fabes Rosquita Aragones

"[Believe it or not], I won’t be giving my husband a long list of do’s or don’ts. I know he has his own style of rearing and taking good care of our baby. I know he is very capable of taking good care of our son… all the other household responsibilities in which I also believe my husband could handle." -- Fabes

Irene Sy Punzalan

"I guess the best advice I can give my husband is to just relax and enjoy the moment. He should have his own style on how to handle our kids. That way, the kids will get to bond with their father and know him more. I won't give him a long list of do's and don't (well maybe just a little); that might make him more nervous and be stressed out. Just enjoy it! They will only be children for a short time." -- Irene

Jane Dulva Corsino

"I’ll tell him to just be patient when dealing with our kids. Let them talk and listen to them… and let them know that even when busy at work, he will always have time for them." -- Jane

Jenalyn Monterozo

"I’d remind my dear husband to feed them on time or whenever they want to eat (healthy food not junk food), bathe them. He should have his full attention to my kids especially the younger one, and don't forget to play and read stories if possible." -- Jenalyn

Jesusa Corazon Tan

"Do not worry about the clutter, just have fun and enjoy the company of one another." -- Jesusa

Joanne Belle Tumulak

"I will tell him that PATIENCE is KEY. The kids are naturally playfully, they can be stubborn and naughty. Just play and enjoy their bonding moments. There are a lot of activities that they can do to let the child feel that they are important." -- Joanne

Kristine Joy Alayon Aquino

"I would tell him to have fun with the kids… I'm sure he would know what to do with the kids. Sometimes he's an even better parent than I am. It's just that he works most of the time, and the kids really miss him during these times. Now would be the chance for him to really bond with the children. I'd tell him to enjoy his moments with the kids." -- Kristine

Liah Mae Geradela

"First, make sure that once they are awake, you are too. Second, give them food cause that's the first thing they will find in the morning. After playing and goofing around in the morning (watching tv's, etc. ), prepare their bath. Make sure that it is not too hot nor cold.

After eating lunch, they will surely take a nap and will wake up after 2-3 hrs. Upon waking up make sure the "merienda" is ready. In the afternoon, if the weather is good, you can walk them around the village or in the park for them to play." -- Liah

Lorie Nocasa

"I think my hubby knows what to do and that my child will be okay because his dad is a great cook! But if anything, he needs patience. Especially when giving baths because that’s when he asks for help." -- Lorie

Mona Verdida

"I'd tell my husband to call me if the kids have been crying for more than 15 minutes. I'd also tell him to keep them busy in a fun way because kids love being busy with something they like to do." -- Mona

Rachelle Chan

"Patience is the key to taking care of kiddos." -- Rachelle

Rhisa Sioson

"I will tell my husband to take good care of our children, make it a bonding time with them. Make sure to watch over our kids, make it sure they eat on time and in the afternoon they can watch movies together." -- Rhisa

Shine Silva

"My advice to my husband if I'm going to leave them for a week is to enjoy every minute of it, because it is priceless, and I'm sure he will treasure the memories." -- Shine
