Proud na ipinasilip ni Iya Villania sa kanyang followers sa Instagram ang design ng second floor ng bagong bahay nila kagabi, March 10, 2023.
Maliit lang daw talaga ang bahay kaya walang kuwarto sa second floor.
Sabi niya sa caption, “Just the right accents to make the place pretty, nothing too fancy or too delicate for a house designed for kids, but still definitely something pretty to complement the design @lucendi.ph
“Btw, this is all there is on the 2nd flr of the house. No rooms.”
Makikita sa mga larawan na pag-akyat sa second floor ay meron itong glass railings para hindi mahulog sa ground floor ang aakyat dito.
Meron din itong malaking kama at mga malalaking bintana.
Medyo ikinabahala naman ito ng netizens. Nag-alala ang mga ito dahil mga bata pa daw ang apat na anak nina Iya at Drew Arellano na sina Antonio Primo, 5; Alonzo Leon, 3; Alana Lauren, 1, at ang bagong silang na si Astro Phoenix.
Tanong ng isang follower, “From second deck hndi po ba tatalon kids sa open area sa hagdan?”
Paliwanag ng 24 Oras co-anchor, “what's great about the place is that its so small you know what the kids are up to, when you can trust your kids and trust their own judgement, you learn to be a little more chill about things :) also, those beds were placed there just for the sake of design. You can move those beds around according to how you want”
Saad ng isa pa, “No. Sorry. It's not about trust, it's about precaution.”
Tugon ni Iya, “ then as you would in any space that is not your home, you make the necessary changes and move things around, right? :) in whatever space you have, as a mother, you will always manage to make things work :) the upstairs was designed more dedicated for napping and resting :) there's a space for active play for them here and that’s the playground”
NETIZENS DEFEND IYA
May mga nakaintindi naman sa naging plano nila ni Iya sa kanilang bahay.
Saad ng isang follower, "Ang daming nega dito. The main purpose of the house is for short stays. I have a 3 and 6 years old kids and at 2yrs old they already know not to jump/climb out of the windows and stairs.
"As a parent, you have the responsibility to teach them how to play safe and stop using being a 'KID' as an excuse. And honestly, it’s not your house to begin with."
Nagpasalamat naman sa kanya si Iya. Umaasa din daw ang TV host na darating ang araw na mabuksan nila sa publiko ang kanilang lugar.
Aniya, "thank you. I am hoping to allow other families to enjoy this space too."
Depensa ng isa pa, "Some people are just ridiculous. I’m pretty sure a woman like her with 4 kids (with enough means to hire help) is not stupid to not think about safety risks.
"Mind you, there will always be risks for kids whether you have a 2-storey house or a bungalow. Yung bahay kahit pa walang 2nd floor kung shunga yung nagbabantay madidisgrasya talaga.
"Also, I wonder what kind of kids other people have? Or what kind of parents kids who would think jumping off the rails/stairs is a good idea anyway? If your kids cannot identify safety vs danger, then they shouldn’t be left unattended!
"Now if you say you can’t look after your kids all the time because you have other tasks, then biiihh wag mag anak ha! Ampfff!"
Natatawa naman si Iya sa sermon ng nasabing netizen sa mga pumuna sa kanya.
Aniya, "this made my day, thanks for your energy."
Pagtatanggol ng isa pa, "Iya, having 4 kids, is surely NOT crazy to not think about the safety of her children during the designing of their house. She knows that.
"Y'all should stop saying you're just concern for the kids. When all you wanted is to makialam sa bahay ng may bahay"
Tugon ni Iya, "thank you for your energy"
Tawang-tawa naman si Drew sa komento ng mga netizens. Aniya, “I never knew reading comments can be so entertaining! Ayun nahulog ako pababa ng hagdan dahil nakatingin ako sa phone!"
Dagdag pa niya, "Buti nalang may kapit-bahay kaming doktor!"
IYA UPDATES POST
Para mapawi ang pangamba ng mga tao, nagbigay ng update si Iya tungkol sa design ng second floor ng kanilang bahay.
Sabi niya, "Update: I understand the anxiety the railings, bed and windows bring and to address the anxiety, pls note that these beds were set up this way only for the sake of these pictures...
"these are stackable beds and will be set up according to the request of the user/family, when we use these beds, it’s only one layer and super wide to accommodate all 6 of us (since we co-sleep).
"And for the windows, I guess my children know not to climb out. I’d like to believe your children would know not to as well and if in the future I see it does become a problem, then I will make the changes necessary :) the house really is tiny (48sqm) so it’s easy to see if the kids are up to some monkey business.
"Also, the upstairs was really more designed for napping and resting so the playground is the place for active play.
"As with any new house, there are things you only discover as you use the place which is why my family and I have been testing it out first before we let YOU GUYS use it too.
"FYI, we’ve been using this space since September 2022, and have been refining since then as we address the concerns for children, so far, even my most daring and monkey child, Leon, hasn’t thought of climbing out the window."
