From the moment I became a mother for the first time, I knew that my life was going to take a 180 turn.or. But when doing it for the second time the turnaround was greater, and the effort had to be greater to organize myself and learn to be a good mother..
Because, like all mothers, in addition to having children, we have a husband, a job, a social life and our own needs. All of that must come in 24 hours.
Impossible?
From here I am going to give you some tips in order to take time to meet the objectives and that we have a little extra for our individual needs.
The first thing is organize with your partner. Distribute the tasks as much as possible and make a team. And also give your children tasks that they can carry out on their own. This will help us to get rid of some things to parents and to give children greater autonomy..
One of the things that can work best for us is to create a weekly planning. We will point out important appointments of the week, extracurricular activities, meetings and everything we need.
We can include in this planning the distribution of tasks. Who gets to take out the garbage, wash the dishes, feed the pet, etc. As far as possible, we must relieve the mother of these obligations, since she is usually the one who does the most work in the house.
It is also advisable to do a weekly menu that will help us organize our purchase. In this way we will have a balanced diet that will prevent us from improvising and eating "anything" that is in the fridge. Knowing what we need for the whole week is very beneficial and saves us time and money.
This menu can help us spend less time cooking. Knowing what it touches, we can reserve a couple of days a week to carry out most of the elaborations. The freezer is a good ally!
If we have older children we can do them planning participants so that they contribute their opinion.
Once done, put it in a visible place for everyone, such as the fridge.
It is very important for a good family atmosphere that the couple enjoy a good relationship, in peace and harmony..
And it is that, between work, children and homework, sometimes we neglect our marriage. And we must remember that before we were parents we were lovers.
A united and blended couple will provide us with Benefits that will be reflected in our daily life.
So why not plan a couple outings too. A movie night, a dinner, a weekend getaway, or just going out for a drink.
Many times we do not delegate tasks because we think that doing it ourselves will make it faster and better. A clear example is when a child wants to learn to dress himself. At first he will do it wrong, he will stick his arm through the hole in his head or he will put his pants backwards. And many times to go faster we end up dressing it ourselves.
With that simple action we are limiting their autonomy and learning. On the other hand, if we leave him and we guide him step by step, he will learn faster and without realizing it he will know how to dress himself. And one less thing that we will have to do.
Sometimes we think that spending time with the family is staying at home and that each of us ends up doing different things, but under the same roof..
By "family time" I mean quality time. Time sharing together, having a picnic in the park, setting up a family karaoke ... there are infinite possibilities, but always doing it all together.
Share hobbies and be interested in those of other family members. If your child likes video games, sit down with him for a while and see how he plays. Who knows, you might want to play a game.
With that you will not only share a time with him, but it will help you to get to know each other and increase your confidence.
Think that Time goes by too fast and we must take advantage of every second that life gives us.
