Celebrity couple Kaye Abad and Paul Jake Castillo are fulfilled parents taking their own me-time on a regular basis—all the better for family happiness, not to mention their sanity and health.
Kaye and Paul talked about this aspect of their parenting style with PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) on the sideline of the Efficascent Boost launch last Thursday, September 21, 2023, at Pat’s Putts, an indoor golf venue in Tiendesitas.
Fittingly, Kaye disclosed that golf has always been Paul’s specific activity to de-stress, “Golf is life for him. Enjoy na enjoy niya.”
An occasional golf player herself, Kaye added, “It’s a nice experience… yung obstacles… it’s fun!”
Away from the kids, Kaye and Paul Jake in fact had fun that day placing a friendly bet on one of the obstacles.
The actress shared, “Naka-shoot ako kanina, hindi na lang nakunan! Nagpustahan pa kami! Nung nakipagpustahan na ako, hindi na siya na-shoot. Bag sana yun!”
Kaye and Paul Jake shared their insights on parenting their two sons—Joaquin, 5, and Iñigo, 2.
She beamed, “Masaya…. Actually… Sana dati pa naging parents.”
Kaye admitted that keeping up with their kids’ energy could be quite exhausting, “Sobrang kulit, as in!
“I have two boys so, sobrang kulit. Nagmana sa kanya [Paul Jake] nang pagka-malikot, nang pagka-hyper. Nakuha lahat sa kanya.
“So, isipin mo… Kung magkakasama silang tatlo tapos ako, ay, grabe!”
“Yung matatakot ka as a mommy na mauntog, madapa.”
But how do they handle their sons’ “pasaway” behavior?
Paul Jake said he and Kaye typically would take turns being the disciplinarians, “It depends on the situation actually.
“There are times na mas makinig sila sa mom. And there are times na mas makinig sila sa dad.”
Kaye volunteered being the “bad cop” constantly correcting and disciplining the kids.
She said, “I have more time with them than him… Most of the time, he’s at work.
“So mas ako yung kasama nila during daytime. So ako yung kasama nila pag malikot sila.
“Ako talaga yung, ‘Don’t do this…’ Ako yung nakakakita pag nag-aaway sila.”
Surprisingly, Kaye’s top choice for de-stressing is simply relaxing at home in the presence of their hyperactive kids.
She said, “My family loves to just stay at home and tambay. We love to relax.”
For Paul Jake, a basic home massage can work wonders to ease tiredness, “I’m very active so, as much as possible, we get our massages.
“It’s actually nice because… We used the Efficascent Oil before. But the Efficascent Boost kasi, you don’t need to use your hands anymore.
“Kasi yung Efficascent Oil, di ba, you put it in your hands, you rub it, massage. This one, roll on na siya. So, puwede na siya diretso sa skin.”
