Cravings

Cravings... in Filipino, we all associate this with "paglilihi" where our wives would ask for specific types of food as their appetites spring back after the first tri-sem. Fortunately on my end, my wife doesn't really go for something specific and just stuff herself with it. Now I can't remember if I entered something similar to this post but from my observation and to my wife's confession, we believe it's cheese. What's good about it though is that it's anything with cheese so the search isn't really for something specific. She may ask for cheese ice cream, or ensaymada, or cheese roll, or anything with cheese. I'm actually thankful that it's that and not some weird item or some weird combination of food like maybe anchovies on bananas or something.

What are the cravings of your wife? One thing I also noticed is sometimes when it's hard to find particular things she looks for, I then offer her some possible alternatives just to satisfy particular cravings. Most of the time, she can live with the alternative especially if it's hard to find or stores are closed already. Just make sure that you strike a balance between giving her particular ones and compromising if there's a need. Our wives may be craving so much but I'm sure with talking with them and letting them know and feel that you are also trying as much to give in, our wives will understand if at times you can't give what they want. Don't be too hard on yourselves. The key is making sure you also give in most of the time to appease her and not just come up with excuses everytime she asks for something. That's where misunderstandings and feeling of neglect will try to creep in and we don't want that.

Back to my wife, I know cheese is so common but what else can you recommend that comes with cheese? :)
