Gugunitain ang Mother’s Day sa May 14, 2023, pero napaaga ito para kay Claudine Barretto dahil sa mga bulaklak ng rosas na dala niya at ng mga anak na sina Sabina, Quia, at Noah na ibinigay rin sa kanya matapos na makapanayam ito ni Boy Abunda sa Fast Talk with Boy Abunda noong nakaraang Biyernes, Mayo 5.
Tanging si Santino, ang 15-year-old son niya sa kanyang estranged husband na si Raymart Santiago ang hindi kasama ni Claudine.
Incidentally, burado na rin ang litrato nina Santino at Claudine sa Instagram post ng aktres noong nakaraang buwan na may caption na, “Wow finally he agreed to have his picture taken with me. I promised not to post this though.”
Kaya may mga haka-haka na maaaring nagkaroon ng isyu dahil hindi nagustuhan ni Santino ang ginawa ng kanyang ina na “hands-on at nurturing ” ang sagot nang tanungin ni Boy tungkol sa parenting style nito.
“Of course, I have a yaya, we have assistance but I make sure na ako talaga yung nakabantay.
“Like Noah cannot sleep without holding my hands at night.
“I think every child, they have different characters. They’re unique, iba-iba talaga. Si Sabina, her love language is quality time.
“Sabina today, ladies and gentlemen, I am so proud to say my daughter is a scholar.
"She’s a scholar at UP [University of the Philippines] and all the entrance examinations that she took [for five colleges], she passed it with flying colors.
"Sabina, I’m so proud of you anak. Oh, my God!”
Nagkuwento rin ang 43-year-old actress tungkol sa mga pagbabago o estilo ng pagpapalaki nito sa kanyang mga anak dahil 24-years-old pa lamang siya nang dumating si Sabina sa buhay niya.
“With Sabina kasi, I was 24 when she came along. I was a young mom who’s really enjoying. The only difference now is that I tag my children along everywhere I go.
“Siyempre with Sabina before, I was very careful pa kasi ang bilis magkasakit. Now with Noah and Quia, I bring them everywhere I go—shooting, they study on the set, they have a tutor with them.
“I spend time by bringing them with me. The two kids kasi medyo more careful ako. 'Ay, baka magkasakit.'
“I realized they grow up so fast. I don’t wanna miss anything. Even if I left show business to really watch Sabina and Santino, it still amazes me.
"Oh my God, they’ve grown up so fast and I was just there, beside them,” ang lahad ni Claudine na isang disciplinarian mother pero naniniwala sa "reward system" sa pagpapalaki sa kanyang mga anak.
“They’re disciplined but they’re spoiled. Meaning, if there’s anything that they want, I will give it to them. Kung kaya ko, ibibigay ko. I think that’s an obligation every parent should be doing.
“I allow them to get whatever they want. Buy whatever they want but every time they buy something, they have to give up something.”
