'NANAY NA TALAGA AKO'

Kylie Padilla reflects on running a household

After giving birth to Baby Alas, Kylie Padilla has been concentrating on her home life with fiance Aljur Abrenica and their new bundle of joy.

The Kapuso actress opened up about the reality of being a mother in an Instagram post on Sunday, as she reflected about "what being a housewife means."

"I am experiencing motherhood at full blast nowadays. Since our house helper decided to get married this year and leave us abruptly without any notice. I thought taking care of an infant was hard enough. But to add cleaning, doing laundry and finding time for your partner is going to drive me to go insane," she wrote.

"But I am facing this head on because I feel and know there is something to learn here. It’s a different path but one that sets new levels of understanding and appreciation. I have never felt so overwhelmed in my life. Good thing we were trained for this kind of thing when we were younger. After this I can definitely say, I know what being a housewife means," she added.

However, Kylie admitted that she has not yet closed her doors on her craft.

"thing is. I miss working and creating and it’s something I cannot leave behind. I don’t think I could leave it forever. I will then, in fact go nuts. But for now, I have to be content with seeing the haggardness and busyness of all this. And accepting the fact that now there is no me. There is a family," she said.

For a parting shot, she added: "P.S. Ramdam ko na. Nanay na talaga ako." —JST, GMA News
