Marian admits that it’s still hard to do the whole juggling act, balancing her working schedule and her role as a Mother and a wife.
Marian said, “Magandanga problema yung madaming trabaho pero nakikipag compromise. Talaga ako sa working hours ko. (Having a lot of work is a positive thing, but i always compromise regarding my working hours.)”
Marian said she felt guilty everytime she comes home late and Zia was crying as if saying what took her so long to come home.
“na gui-guilty kasi ako pag wala ako sa tabi ng anak ko. Pag late na ako umuuwi minsan pag dating ko sa bahay, Ngalngal na siya pagka kita sa akin. Parang sinasabi niya ‘Mama ang tagal mo naman eh!’ Ang sakit para sa akin nun.”
To avoid such mommy pains she really tries to limit the number of working days in a week. “Walang specific na araw basta ayaw ko lang araw araw.
She also gets by with a little help from her Mommy Amy and her Mother-in-law Angeline, who willingly go to the Danteses home in Makati whenever Dingdong and Marian both have commitments.
But has she ever considered to be a stay-at-home Mom?
“ito yung palaging sinasabi ng Lola ko, ang pagiging artista hindi yan forever. May mga bago may mga young na dadating.”
Marian said, Dong also asked her what is her life dream. She told him it’s her dream to be a mother and she is thankful her dreams came true.
“Tinanong din ako ni Dong ‘ano ba ang pangarap mo sa buhay?’ Alam mo pangarap ko talagang maginf nanay, at binigay niya yun sa akin kaya sobrang thankful ako.”
But she clarifies it doesn’t mean she’s turning her back to showbiz. She said her work and endorsements are bonus blessings but she can be a stay-at-home Mom for her baby.
“Kung ano trabaho man meron ako ngayon o endorsements na nagtitiwala sa akin bonus na bonus talaga para sa akin. Pero kung tinanong mo kung kaya ko mag stay sa bahay para sa anak ko, kaya ko!”
