If you understand that much then it becomes easy to cope with..
If their jealousy is directed at me or my wife and kids then I simply rub it in!!
Observing their rage is compensation in abundance.
Well said Maria and Fred. Careful! careful! you need to be careful.

One time, I went shopping with my friend who have 2 little kids, I look after the other one and one filipina said, Nanny ka na lang ngayon? Are you just nanny now? I was shocked, as it's sounds insulting to my ears. I have nothing against being a nanny but I am not qualified I'm not a teacher nor a nurse, didn't study childcare and had no experience to look after a baby

Then when I chatted with other friends, one said, penny you dressed like a nanny that time that's why she said you're a nanny and that's what she told me Kaya pala insulting ang impact ehehehhehe.

It hurt me a little because I was thinking why are filipinas so mean.
I admit and accept that at my age, I look baduy now, but please don't judge a book by it's cover or else, I will dare you to let us be naked outside and ask people whose body parts are over used. I am baduy, can't afford to buy french coat but I can afford to fly

Thanks God I studied Psychology and understand and how to deal with people like that.
