Give credits to Mom
Among my online friends, most of them are Moms. Some are working and some are not. I am so amazed at how they managed to play the role of a mom, a wife, a house manager, a budget specialist, a tutor, a cook, a carpool, etc. Some don’t even have househelp to manage the house chores nor even nanny to look after the kids. Isn’t that too much for a woman’s power? That’s really our role and the super powers emerge just when it’s needed. However, not all women has that passion to attend to their family’s needs. It all depends on the person’s upbringing and priorities.
I can’t just imagine the pressure on us to think that how the kids behave will all reflect to the mom and how the husband looks reflects on the wife’s ability to attend to the better-half’s needs. I remember a former officemate who goes to the office so rugged, wearing an unpressed uniform that turned yellowish after months of using it. Guess what others are saying? They are commenting on how the wife cannot even take care of her husband’s needs. The blame is not on the househelp who does the laundry and pressing but on the wife for not taking care of the hubby’s needs. Same with the kids. Regardless of how they behave, blame it to mom.
The best moms for me are those who sacrifice their own wants for their kids and husband. That’s why many are making target market moms more aware of their products as Moms could not just resist something especially for their kids or husband.
