I don't know if I would of thought about this back in the days I was raising a family. I wish I had. It might of saved me some grief. I spent way too many years trying to figure out why I wasn't like other women. It's that comparison. Thing that many women do! If you don't, that's wonderful but this is for the women who do. I have known a lot of females and most of them who have been honest struggle with comparing themselves to others.
What is your mom style?
- Highly organized who doesn't like surprises.
- Laid back and thoroughly enjoys letting life happen without much schedule.
- Homebody
- Love to get up and out of the house everyday
- Easily overwhelmed without some help with your children, house, yard.
- No matter how busy you are, adult interaction is essential to doing well.
I just want to encourage you to take life the way you need to have a great summer with your family. I want to give you permission to do or not do something. If you want to play and forget about cleaning house much this summer, go for it. If you do better with a highly structured schedule and lots of organized activities, enjoy! If you can afford a mother's helper to help you with children and housework, hire her before someone beats you to it. Mom, you set the tone. A healthy (mentally, emotionally and physically) mom is the best kind of mom children can have this summer.
Take a risk and be yourself. Everyone will benefit.
