If you are a housewife and you have several children, it’s stupid to assume that there will be perfect order at home, and there’s no room left in the fridge after culinary experiments. But women-idealists believe that they have to do everything, so they are very worried if they didn’t cook dinner on time or send their children to school later.
A popular blogger and mother of three children, Daniel Silverstein, published a letter in which she supported all mothers who blame themselves for not having time to do household chores, writes gubdaily.ru.
I hope that my letter will help us to understand that we do not have to do all this in order to be good moms. We are the best and do the hardest work in the world. We only need to learn to value ourselves more. First of all, I'm really a mess and crappy. I don’t even come close to the concept of “exemplary” mother and housewife.
For example, I never thought that being a mother is my TRUE vocation. That never. But have I ever thought that I was a good mother? Yes, and quite often. I am far from keeping everything under control and not always coping with all the problems. But it seems to me that I am not alone.
In general, I do not think that to keep everything and everything under control and being a good mother is one and the same thing. I'm not even sure that such things should be put together. But this is my subjective opinion, nothing more.
Yes, I am not at all perfect, but I don’t pay attention to it, because I think that there are more important things in life. I am not the mother who will not go to bed until she has washed all the dirty dishes. I wash the dishes when there is no longer clean. And not the one that gets up early in the morning only to spread the washed clothes into the cabinets.
I’m the one who forgets school meetings and classmates ’birthdays. I am the one who screams all the morning at the children, because we are late again. I am the mother who cooks dinner from which it is necessary, because I did not have time to go to the store. I am the one that sometimes (honestly, almost every day) allows my children to sit in front of the TV or at the computer, because she is tired of struggling with this and she has her own business. I am the mother who has a lot of plans, ideas and projects, but they never reach out to them.
And yet ...
I am the mother whose children are safe. I am the mother whose children almost always feel happy. I am exactly the mother in whose house there is always a lot of love and laughter. I am a mother who always and in everything will support her children and will be their most loyal friend. I am a mother who will always tell children that they have someone to rely on in all situations. I am a mother, and I will remain to her, no matter what. And I, damn it, the best mom that you can only dream of!
My dear mothers ... You are the best!
