mom

Making the most of “MOM” means putting time in to yourself as well as your family. I have learned over the past 9 years that you have to do things for yourself as a mother. You have to know how to get your own peace and quiet and enjoy it. You cannot expect to be running around chasing after, cleaning up and running errands without a total melt down if you don’t take time for yourself. I use to think that doing anything for me was selfish and not what a mother we suppose to do. I spent every die trying to do, do, do, for my family. Then I realized that I had lost total sight of myself and was nothing but the house cleaner and errands girl. To top it off I was completely stressed out and everyone in the house knew so. There comes a time when you have got them fed, appointment done and everyone’s clean...that you just have to take time to take care of the person that is suppose to take care of everyone else. I think this is especially important if you work a job to boot it off. That narrows the time you do have to run the errands and look after everyone else.


2. The criminal Justice system does not have to be an enemy for every mother that deals with that troubled teen. It can be a system to help that child get learn from his mistakes and get on his/her way. Some parents see systems and programs like this one as the enemy, but in fact it can be the best friend any mother ever had if you’re dealing with that troubled teen.


3. Smart Mothers don’t always get easy choices. It seems to me that it is incredibly easy to say yes to everything every single child in the house wants... then as a mother you never have to see to that they have stuck to the groundings, spent their time in the time out space, or listenen to the whinning when they are told no.A smart mother will realize though, once the child is told no a few times, he no longer ask, they then begin to learn boundries that they will later carry with them in life. Boundaries are important for children to learn, because boundaries are expected to be followed as an adult in order to lead a healthy life. Smart Mothers also realize that education choices are not always easy, but can later be the future of the child. Most importantly, a very hard decision is for the working mother. To go back to work or not. This can be the ultimate question? Is it right or is it wrong? Does it teach good work ethics or does it leave a learning child to educate their self?

4. A business mom must be on top of her game in order to succeed in the work force. As a working mother of two boys it is very hard to manage those boys and my job. I sometimes have to decide between staying home with the boys while they are sick and giving them the chicken soup and warm blankets, and going to work and worrying all day if the fill babysitter at the time is treating them like I would if I were able to be home. There are many benefits of working moms, getting out and socializing is one, not only knowing what the coolest toy for the kids in the 1st grade is nice. I think it is great to have adult conversation with people that I can relate to on topics that are important to me. I do think that the latest toys are great and love when the boys share them with me, but everyone needs the human interaction. I also think a mother has to know everyone’s schedules in advance, keep them in mind and have arrangements made. Along with arrangements for emergencies and time that work is requiring overtime.

Stay at home moms and an education. There is nothing better than an education especially for a parent. I think it sets an example, and later is not something they can say that they’re not doing because darn it you didn’t either. I know that there are a lot of mothers that are not working and not getting an education. Yet there are a lot of programs to offer these mothers, more programs than alt of other people and genres. I do not understand why struggling single mothers are not expected to be enrolled in school as long as their children are of age to go to preschool. I think the government should either force these parents out of the home to at least get an education or to work. I think getting an education for anyone and everyone is the best gift or accomplishment that anyone could make.
