Here is a thought. Instead of generalizing that every Filipina is like your wife, and your wife's family is like every family in all the provinces, and and your wife's village is like all the rest.. why not see your wife as a individual? She chooses to be like that, perhaps she was raised like that, and that's okay.. That's why you fell in love with her, and that's what you like about her. It doesn't mean we are all like that. My mom was raised in a village, a province, and yet she is nothing like her, neither is her family like your wife's. Nothing wrong with that, the one cool thing about humans is that we all have different qualities and attitudes. :)That goes with every culture!
Okay, done with my little rant.. other than that, you did post some valid points, like knowing drugs etc, and having an interpreter for those not adept in English.

I understand. If i have a daughter, Id like to name her Luna and a girl in my class said that was her cow's name lol. Still naming her Luna though

I have never heard of the wife walking behind the husband as normal.. even in the provinces. The Philippines is actually a very matriarchal society. (Except apparently where your wife is from) Othee than that, glad your ordeal is over and your wife and baby are safe and healthy.

Just want to thank everyone for their help! I was able to sort something out. I am going to be living with a classmate when my husband deploys then have found a potential filipina nanny to come in February when the baby comes. She has agreed to my offer, but my mom and husband will interview her first.. Hope it all works out! Thanks again!!

I hope I've read enough of this thread to offer a reply, and I'll probably be banned for what I have to say.
You say that Canada is not an option?! What happens if Immigration come knocking at the door and make it the only option? You are in the USA illegally. You entered and stayed illegally. You are probably working illegally, andf you come on here with your "boo hoo, feel sorry for me" story. It sucks for your kids if you get the boot northwards, and it could happen. You are also working illegally, which is a big kick in the teeth to those of us who did everything correctly and haven't found work, not to mention the millions of born citizens of this country in the same boat.
How is Canada any worse than NYC? Winters are bloody cold in NY, and the pollution is terrible. Every time I visit I need a shower afterwards, and if you'd ever looked in your tissue after a sneeze, you'd see it's not that favourable to someone with asthma. As many have pointed out, there are places in Canada that are a lot better climate and pollution wise than NYC. Kids have the same problem there, you know, and manage to live happy and productive lives.
All I can gather from this thread is that you want a new licence, so (presumably) you can carry on with your illegal work. If your kids health was a priority, then you'd move them to a different area, but no, it's NYC or nothing, and any help in me continuing my fraud would be greatly appreciated.

I would have to agree with Rebecca Jo, the last thing I would want to hear after giving birth is "its too bad you had a c-section at your age." But thats just me. I would just want people to be happy for me.
