Carolina Rosario, whom we see daily giving us the news on ViX 24/7 and on Sundays as co-host of ‘Despierta América en Domingo’She is more than excited, because she is expecting her second baby, who, as we told you, will be a girl and Kalel’s younger sister, but above all because, as she confesses: “having the couple was like a dream.”
In an exclusive interview with the journalist we talked about everything, children, upbringing, the man and the woman who wants to raise to face this world, how do you agree with your husband not to clash and even He leaves you a message for when your children are older..
-You will fulfill the dream of having a girl…
Caroline Rosario: Finally!… My sister says that It’s the girl I’ve been waiting for for 7 years.because my son is 6, but since I got pregnant, I remember saying: “I want a girl”, and God sent me a boy.
Now I had made the mentality that I was going to be a boy and I was very innocent, in the revelation of the sex, I had the little blue collar, as if I was denying myself, so as not to be disappointed… When I saw that it came out pink I started crying, I couldn’t believe it, it was like it couldn’t be that life is so perfect, and to have the couple that for me on a personal level was like a dreamalmost reality now.
-What an original way of telling it, with a fight between dolls…
Caroline Rosario: It caught people’s attention as much as I did, I didn’t know how this ‘gender reveal’ was going to be, I didn’t plan that part, a niece and a girl who really help me a lot, they are like my Nanny here in Miami, They took it upon themselves to make the plan. When I saw those 2 dolls that arrived at my house, I started laughing, and I didn’t understand what was happening.. I saw them kind of fighting, even when the smoke is coming out, and when the girl defeats the boy and the girl is left, I kind of don’t realize at first what’s happening… As if lost there I realize the pink smoke, and it is that I start to scream and cry with emotion.
-How did you, even being a journalist who always wants to have the scoop and the exclusive, put up with you until that day to find out what your baby was going to do?
Caroline Rosario: I am very curious, really and you have said it very well, as a journalist one always wants to know everything, they say that we are like gossipy media, but it is not true, it is that we want to inform ourselves. With my first child I didn’t expect anything, the doctor told me: “I have sex, do you want to know?” … And in the office I called and he already told me.
for this second baby yes sex seemed like something very special to me, and I even decided, instead of having a baby shower, because I don’t think there is a baby shower as such, to do the Gender Reveal thing. I decided so much not to know, not to look, that I waited, I myself wanted to be surprised… Nobody believed that I had not looked at it.
-Now that you know and that you are going to fulfill the dream of having a girl, how did you start living it?
Caroline Rosario: First of all, I’m very excited, and right, on the night of the Sex Reveal day, I think it was around 4:00 in the morning, and at dawn, I felt the first movement of the baby, or For the first time I felt like a fist, and it gave me so much emotion, as if it were already talking to me. Thinking about how the room is going to be, what clothes I am going to buy her and thinking about how I am going to raise her.
I always think a lot about how I am going to raise my son or my daughter, with Kalel the same thing happened to me when I was pregnant, and it was like I want him to be a man like that, according to the times we live in, that they have such principles. Same with the girl I want to have a strong, brave girl, a girl who dares everything, who achieves great thingsY That she be feminine, but that she be a leader, that she be daring, that excites me a lot.
-Your girl is going to arrive in a world where women have much more space, but at the same time many more tests, how does a daughter prepare for such a strong world?
Caroline Rosario: All women go through that in the present. one always you feel you have to prove yourself, prove that you can, which shouldn’t be the casebecause the same does not always happen with men. I want to raise my daughter consciously, explain to her and talk to her a lot about how things work. I always say: what happens in your home and how you develop your place, so they are going to do with the rest of the citizens abroad… In my case, taking the advantage that I am going to have a man in the house, I think I will use the example a lot, not comparative but of the coexistence of the girl with the boyalways making him understand that the boy and the girl are different, in some things, biologically, but at the level of what they want to do or the opportunities they will have, always let him understand that the two are the same.
If my daughter wants to play soccer or basketball, just like my son, I want her to play it.. Just like my son is into his sports, but he loves to play kitchen, and I bought kitchens for him and I have people who said to me: “Oh, but why buy a kitchen for a child”, why not?… I don’t buy her a girl’s kitchen, I bought her a neutral kitchen, who said that the kitchen belonged to women, and so little by little I’m going like that, including all the points of upbringing, so that they always understand that , aalthough there are things that biologically differentiate them, at the level of opportunities and at the level of what they want to do, what they likethere should not be a separation.
-Sometimes women can think in one way and not always in everything related to parenting parents think the same way. How is it in your case?
Caroline Rosario: That is the biggest challenge of almost all couples, coinciding with the father in the way of thinking, even so, they are in similar lines, there are always differences. There is always one that makes it stronger than the other, when one is going to be a little more disciplinary, the other is going to come out more and let things happen a little more. It happens a lot with my husband, we think alike, but at the same time he believes more in structures, I am a little more flexible so to speak, and I’ve made a lot of mistakes in the process. I will never say that I am perfect and that we are perfect, here we learn new things every dayand we try to improve, but I can tell you that what I have learned is that definitely as a couple, When making a decision in front of the children, if we are in disagreement, we should speak about it, because children are very intelligent and analyze everythingand when they see that parents have a difference and that through this difference they can enter, to then achieve their goal, they will do it.
–How do you imagine combining work, which is your passion and you love so much, with now two?
Caroline Rosario: It is a question I ask myself every day. Me I always wanted to be a mother of 2, and the truth is that my work takes up a lot of time… Children are blessings, I more or less have a plan, obviously who is going to take care of it for me, I already have practice with the first one, but there are spaces in that plan that I don’t know how they are going to solve and I always try to leave it a little to God, in a matter of how I plan and organize myself, but also leave it a little to faithbecause one control everything, when your life is so busy, it would really drive me crazy, because there is no way.
One day at a time, I already have a girl who helped me with Kalel, she is going to help with this new baby. Fortunately, the schedules with my husband and I are mixed, I work at night, he works during the day, with the exception of Sundays, that’s where I manage the situation, but I’ll tell you later how it went for me.
-Children learn more by example than by what they are told, what do you want them to learn from you?
Caroline Rosario: I want them to always see that to achieve things in life you have to fightIt is not that we are going to live in a world in which you only have to work and work, but that to achieve things you have to work for them, and when you work in a mixture in which life rewards you. You also achieve your goals, and that is why I always explain to my son: “son, I have to work, I know I’m going to work a lot, but mom has goals, dreams and this also helps us, to grow, if I grow, the family grows”… I apply it a lot in the smallest issues, if he wants something in particular, I give him a task or something that he knows that, if he does , receive a reward, that level of the family in general.
-For when one day your children searching Google, in search engines, find this interview, what do you want to say to each one of them?
Caroline Rosario: At this moment, my life, that I am doing this interview because I am 34 years old, and I do not know if when you can see and hear and understand it will be the same person as at this moment, but I can tell you that today, in the present, I am the luckiest woman in the world, and that of all the wonderful things that have happened in my life, which have been many blessings, the greatest, without a doubt, the one that has made me a better person, the one that has made me know myself more, to know more about life in the world, to understand it, to be better with others, were them, Kalel and the girl who is on the way. I hope that one day maybe when they see that interview, they know that everything mom did, all the work and effort was 90% for themand that I love them very much, and that I hope they are good and successful people, and success does not exactly mean having big positions, but that they are successful in what they love in life.
