Hi,

Civilization has long been making wine, beer, and vinegar even before we discovered that this was done through fermentation by microbes. So if they didnt know what microbes were, how did people explain how grapes turned to wine, or vinegar? Did they look at it as magic, or did they explain it as spirits doing the work?

I am moving to a house na maraming flowers and may mga nakikita akong bees around them.

I have pamangkin in the US who almost died due to bee stings, pero here sa Philippines, ive never encounteres bee stings. Ive eve. Rotated sa San Lazara and RITM, where i recrived all kinds of animal and insect bites (meron pa nga ipis bite na nagpatingin), pero I never encountered any bee stings.

Has anyone encountered bee stings here in the Philippines? Is it a thing here like in the US?

Hi,

Im a father of 4 kids. I grew up with a mom who I felt doesn't listen to me. While I was single and still living with her, as well as the time I was living with her with my family, she really made it a point to make me feel that I am not worth listening to. She constantly embarrassed me in front of her friends. Well when I was studying for our board exams, I had 2 friends who stayed with us (cause our house is right next to the exam venue) for about 3 months. My mom made sure that they would notice that I was the person she would always order around. When I talked to her about something or showed her my work, she made sure to ignore my work in front of my friends or make sure to show that what I say was not worth believing. It really hurt a lot. I even recall a time when I tried to suggest something for a cabinet design for our house, I was met with repeated "Shut ups" and wasn't even allowed for 1 second to demonstrate my idea. There were of course many other occasions. Although these occasions may seem "trivial" they do punch me hard.

Later on I got married and when my wife was pregnant, we moved back to my mom's house until my wife gave birth. I barely made enough money, so we were only able to move our again when my son was around 2 years old.

While we were there my mom would scold me in front of guests and in front of my son. Because my mom doesn't listen to me I developed this feeling or philosophy that my children probably wont listen to me either.

I now have 4 kids and I sort of think that this philosophy of mine might be hurting my kids. I don't talk to them much, and don't explain things to them because I feel that they aren't going to listen to me anyway.

For the sake of my children, does anyone have any advice on how I can change this mindset of mine?
