My mom never pressured me about my grades. I was consistently an honor student from grade school to high school. She was happy, yes, but she never pressured me to maintain it. Her thinking was always "Unsaon man pud na ang sobra nga grado."
Now I'm in my last sem of my 4th year in college, and I lost my scholarship. My sister told me that it wasn't my obligation to keep it anyway.
My parents never imposed curfew. I was always allowed to go to spontaneous overnights and moni sesh. These weren't issues as long as I remain transparent about my whereabouts and activities.
When I ask for money, my mom just tells me to get from her wallet, cause either she's taking a bath or her bag is upstairs.
The kind of trust my family has been giving has always been one of my motivations to become a better person.
