The hardest job in the world is that of parenting. It’s grueling, exciting, tedious, exciting, and tiring - all rolled into
one. You don’t get breaks, you work around the clock, and you attend the
needs of small and very demanding little humans. Yep, motherhood in a nutshell.
We know, you love your kids, you don’t need to clarify this! It is more
than okay to want a break from your children while still loving the bones
of them! You are a very tired, very overworked superhero, and everyone
knows that mothers have it very hard. It’s for this reason that you need to
do everything possible to make life easy for yourself. With our four tips
below, you can make life far easier than it has been in a while and change
the way you think about how you live, too!
Get Organized
Buy a calendar, a diary, and an alarm
clock. Life is busy as a mother, and you will take on the mental
load of the entire family - even without any intention to do so! If
you have people in your life to organize, then you need to be
organized first. Put a paper calendar or w dry-erase board on the wall and set your
alarm to start your day half an hour before everyone else so you can prepare. You’ll
be able to get up and go before everyone else.
Invest Properly In Furniture
Children are destructive, which means you need to consider the furniture (and other belongings that you have). Do you want leather
sofas or fabric? Do you want to buy a dishwasher to save time and
know where to get the right dishwasher parts if it breaks down. Organization is the key to a happy life as
a mother, but investing in furniture and other household items that will last will stop you
from pulling your hair out when something of value breaks. It’s also an
excellent reason to have an emergency fund, but that’s a whole
other article!
Choose Your Battles Wisely
Mothers are always right (obviously),
but that doesn't mean everything should be a battle of wills.
Choose the battles, and don’t fight every single one. Don’t panic
about vegetables being eaten; just look for ways to hide them in
the food instead. I used to nag my girls about messy bedrooms. Eventually, I realized I was only stressing myself out. Instead of repeating myslef about messes, I either ignored them or moved the mess into the personal space of the individual responsible;
they soon got the message.
Stop Comparing
Comparison is the thief of joy, and social media has made us
ridiculously competitive with other mothers. I know it's hard, but please stop comparing yourself to others. Just log off if you find yourself thinking that
you are not good enough. There is no right
way to boss it as a mother, and those who you think have it all
together probably don't! Stop comparing yourself to others; as
long as your children are happy and healthy, you can feel secure
that you are being best mother you can.
Make your life easy: stay organized, buy the right furniture, and know you
are doing a good job. Confidence, ladies, confidence!
