What’s a Mother to Do?


What’s a mother to do? There are only twenty-four hours in a day and the task is so great! A mother is director of operation for the home. She’ a counselor, psychologist, and friend. He’ a nurse, nutritionist, pharmacist, and for big emergencies, ambulance driver. She’s a waitress, grocer, chef, short-order cook, and chair person of the after dinner cleanup committee. A mother is a disciplinarian, program director, listener, encourager, activities director, and taxi driver. She is seamstress, family wardrobe coordinator, purchasing agent, and manager of the complaint department. She’s in promotion and public relations work. She’s a teacher, student, tutor, and playmate. She’s maintenance of engineer and director of a janitorial service. She’s an advisor and career analyst. She teaches driver education and coaches a variety of sport activities. She’s a spiritual leader and prayer warrior. She’s an expert in shuttle diplomacy.
While juggling these task, often he I a career woman. She also may be a wife. Sometimes she handles her awesome task as a single parent.
There also is great psychological pressure on all mothers. The wise old proverb says, “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.” There’s a lot of truth in that. Mothers have a key role in shaping attitudes, ambitions, and destiny of their children. Their children, in turn determine the destiny of the world. That can be a great burden for a mother. Who can stand up under heavy a responsibility?.
Faced with such demand and psychological pressure, what’s a mother to do? She’s too relax! Mothers should not attempt to be all things to all people, nor should they try to excel at all tasks. Husband, sons, and daughters often forget that Mom I, after all, only human. Much is written about corporate burnout and stress, but mother face a serious threat of burnout if they try to do every thing, do it exceptionally well, and do it with urgency.
We advice all mothers to work hard at being themselves. Revel in the things you do well and enjoy doing. Obviously, you will have to do some things dominate your time and energy and undermine your self-esteem. A wise mother will enlist hubby and the kid to assist with thee chores.
Remember, Mom, you are the best mother your children have. Instead of trying to be super mom, try being yourself. Our hunch is that being yourself will come closer to being super mom than you would ever dream!
