VIRAL: Mom receives 13th month from husband

"You didn't have to, but thank you!"

Published Nov 24, 2023 05:20 am

In a busy world where mothers handle various tasks and obligations, the love, care, and appreciation from their husbands carry a significant meaning for stay-at-home moms.

This mom from Cagayan de Oro didn't just receive the desired affection, but also a thoughtful token of appreciation from her husband in the form of a 13th month pay.

Prell Agno, 30 years old and a stay-at-home mom, shared on Facebook last Nov. 16, 2023 that she was surprised and deeply touched by her husband’s gift. She received an envelope with a note that said, “13th month pay as a mother and as a wife. I love you, Labs.”

 


In the Facebook post, she noted, “Thank you, though you didn’t have to but thank you. it’s not just about the money but the thought. I love you so much, you and our baby. Becoming a full-time mom and wife was the best decision I ever made because of you two.”

Prell and her loving husband, Alexis, who worked at the "hanep bahay" real estate business, have been happily married for two years. With one child to care for, Prell left her job at a bank and embraced the role of a full-time mom, dedicating her time and energy to creating a nurturing environment for her family.

When asked about her husband's reason for giving her the 13th-month pay, Prell believes it was simply an expression of love. Prell also shared that she intends to use the 13th-month pay to spread joy and love during the holiday season.

"He just wanted me to buy anything for myself," she tells Manila Bulletin Lifestyle, "I wanted to spend it on our personal needs and Christmas gifts for my loved ones.”

Prell noticed that many netizens expressed admiration and hope for similar gestures from their own husbands. She believes that recognizing the efforts of stay-at-home moms, whether through monetary means or simple gestures, is crucial. Prell hopes that her experience will inspire more husbands to appreciate and acknowledge the hard work of their stay-at-home wives.

"I hope that many husbands will be inspired because, as a full-time mom, it was a great pleasure to have our efforts acknowledged, maybe not through money, but through any simple gesture that a husband can do," Prell adds.

When asked what message she can share to fellow moms, "Hi to all mommies, especially to all stay-at-home moms, please bear in mind that you are cared for, valued, and appreciated. I know it's tiring, but always remember to rest and have time for yourself, sometimes. We may not have our dream careers now, but our little ones (babies) and our big boss (our husband) are our best company to serve and work for. It's priceless! Salute also to all working moms, you are extraordinary! Merry Christmas and God bless you all!"
