Feeling ko yung pagiging mommy nagbabago bago siya every year kasi every year nagbabago bago yung personalities ng mga anak namin, yung needs nila. And at the same time kaming mag-asawa we try as much as possible to understand and to be there sa bawat important occasion ng buhay nila. Intramurals, graduation, kung hindi lahat ginagawa ko para makita ko at ma-involve kami pareho ni Ryan sa growing up years nila. I cannot judge myself as a mother kasi feeling ko kahit kelan hindi mapapantayan ng kahit na anong trabaho ang pagiging isang ina kasi it’s a lifetime journey, it’s a lifetime work and it’s a lifetime commitment na ang bayad sa ‘yo is yung kinabukasan ng mga anak mo,” she explained.<a href='http://betonyourbaby.abs-cbn.com'>The Bet on Your Baby</a> host also shared why she almost ended up not going back to showbiz. “More than a year ako nawala. Halos mag-tu-two years kasi nag-one na si Luna. Nung pregnancy ko ng June nag-leave na ako. May mga guestings here and there pero wala na talagang program na regular akong ginawa. I’m enjoying motherhood so much kaya medyo ang hirap bumalik sa trabaho kasi masyado ko na-e-enjoy yung mga anak ko. Dumarating ako sa moment na ayaw mo talagang may ma-miss ka kahit isang araw kasi sa isang araw na yun maraming puwedeng mangyari. I’m excited on what this children can bring me, can give us sa mga darating pa na taon kasi iba iba sila ng personality. Nakakabaliw sila at nakakabalanse sila ng buhay ko. Kumbaga totoo pala yung sinasabi nila na kahit gaano ka kapagod at pag-uwi mo sa bahay sinalubong ka ng mga anakmo, ng asawa mo, wala na, parang naka-reset ka na uli. Totoo pala yan. Dati kasi I find it cheesy, I find it na parang ang-OA naman ng mga nanay na ‘to. Hindi pala. And I’m more than happy na na-e-enjoy ko ngayon yung mga anak ko,” she said.Juday revealed that her youngest daughter Luna gives her a good workout everyday. “Okay naman. Since nung nag-one year old siya she’s a pure ball of energy. Super energetic na bata. Hindi siya marunong maglakad eh, marunong siya tumakbo at wala siyang alam na lakad. Hihinto, tatakbo. But I’m so full kapag nakikita ko yung mga anak ko. Parang yung pasasalamat mo sa Panginoon na I must have done something good kasi seeing my children na napakababait at napakabubuti, hindi sila unique na bata. They’re typical kids. They are normal children,” she explained.Even though she is not as active on social media as other celebrity parents, Juday said she is happy her kids have many fans online. “Naaaliw naman ako na marami ding naaaaliw sa mga anak ko. Nakakatuwa na na-ha-happy sila pag nakikita nila yung mga bata. we also like posting photos of our children kasi one way or another a person out there is actually waiting (to see it). Or gustong gusto namin yung litrato i-share. Yung ganun, yung hindi naman imposibleng ma-reach yung mga anak namin. Pero the main fact na hindi lang kami ang napapasaya ng mga anak namin nakakataba ng puso,” she added.
