| Parent Guilt: When One Parent Works Long Hours or Go Business Trips (a lot!) | Hoy! Aba Teka Ep 5 | 06 Dec 2025 | 00:36:37 | |
In this episode of Hoy! Aba Teka, Chef Rey and Cyra dive deep into the very real and often unspoken experience of parent guilt, that nagging feeling of not doing enough, not being present enough, or not being the “perfect” parent while trying to juggle work, long hours, and life. They share their own stories of late nights, long-distance work trips, and the emotional tug-of-war between providing for the family and wanting to spend more time with their kids. From OFW experiences and the struggles of modern parenting, to the difference between “mom guilt” and “dad guilt,” the couple opens up about how guilt shows up differently for each parent, and how communication, support systems, and realistic expectations keep them grounded. Joined by a sweet cameo from little Anuenue, the episode is a raw, funny, and relatable look at how parents carry love, responsibility, and guilt all at once. The conversation also dives into:
