So No, I'm not that stuck up I definitely don't do it all.
Hi Guys,
Hope you are having a fab week. I wanted to talk about those mums that have it all, the clean house, the perfect hair, job, kids, body. How do you actually do it?
I am struggling, I love my kids, but after a full day of work dealing with incompetent people, stressing about how to make a healthy dinner, the last thing I have energy for is to actually do anything fun with them when we get home.
But, what I have realised that it is not exactly what you do with them or that they don't have a gluten free, fat free, sugar free dinner ready. It's about the little moments. Dancing to 'Let it Go' for the 100th time in her new Elsa dress or doing five situps with Adeline and making her giggle until se is read (which is hard for a black baby) but those, those are the memories that will stick and form the forever bond that you see in the movies.
So instead of being on your phone (100% I'm guilty for) getup and dance, put on baby shark and sing like the silliest person in the room, because believe it or not that IS what I look forward to now, now that I have changed MY mindset.
It has taken the last 8 months for me to change mine. Going back to full-time for when my baby was only four months old. Missing the first time she crawled or stood up and spending my days smelling the last of that beautiful baby smell is not what she will remember. It's the love that is shown in going back to work, spending 30 minutes with my undivided attention on her, making memories.
I m here formy girl, no matter what and I hope that I can show them that no matter hat life throughs at them I will always be there, and if you make sacrifices for the ones that you love you will be rewarded.
Lots of thinking to be done tonight.
Marissa
