Furthermore, she said that she is happy and content with her current life situation and this is why she is not yet thinking of having kids.

Additionally, Maxene advised couples to make sure first that they want kids because they genuinely want to become parents and not because they are being pressured by society.

She also believes that people who have not yet dealt with their childhood wounds should do so first before having kids because if not, it might negatively affect the way they raise their children.

“’Ms. Maxene, bakit hindi pa po kayo mag-baby?” (Ms. Maxene, why don’t you have a baby yet?)

“This is one of the questions that I get asked the most on social media and in real life. Random strangers would go up to me for a photo and ask me this question as a form of small talk. I get it. Humans are naturally curious about each other and especially when the person’s job entails them to become a public figure, we think we are entitled to know every little thing about what’s going on in their lives.

“First of all, let me clarify that getting asked this question can be very triggering for some. It is awkward, invasive and can be a bit rude. Some women (and men) biologically can’t have children and some don’t even want to have them in the first place. So I encourage those of you who are used to asking this question to try to break the cycle and stop it, if you can. We should all be asking each other, ‘How are you?’ instead of these personal questions.

“Second, I want to put it out there that I am 100% okay with my current life situation. Yes, there have been a lot of rough and painful times but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I understand that this is my unique journey and I simply choose to surrender to God’s plan.

“Third, I want to take this opportunity to use my voice to encourage all of you (especially those who don’t have children yet) to consciously ask yourselves if you truly want to have kids or if you’re just following what everyone else in society is doing? Are you just bored? I highly recommend looking within yourself first, check to see if you’ve done enough inner work and healing for you to be able to have kids and get real with yourself about your intentions. If you want to have kids but refuse to heal your childhood wounds, believe me when I say that you will end up unconsciously passing these on to your children. If you don’t want to have kids but still do it anyway because of pressures of society, you will end up resenting yourself and your children as well.
