12 Situations That Only Mothers Understand
Whether parenting goes up or down, our children steal our hearts and fill our daily lives with situations that only mothers understand.
You are probably already tired of reading and hearing it: being a mother is a unique and special experience. Children make our lives much nicer, but every growing family should come with a pinch of humor.
Taking care of our young children can be an adventure in itself. As time goes on, their undiscovered abilities will keep you on the alert.
Join us to take a closer look at some of the situations that only mothers understand.
When mom needs to improve a little
Life with a child can sometimes be unpredictable. When you discover abilities that you never knew you had, you will discover that you have become an expert at just improving yourself in a way that only mothers understand.
- You can create a gourmet recipe from a half-empty freezer, turn leftovers into a feast and create costumes out of nothing. And those are just some of your talents.
- Find a public restroom when there is no one nearby. Boy or girl, sooner or later your child will have to pee when you least expect it. No matter where you are, you will always find a way to save the day.
- Improve a school project. From last-minute projects to science, to theatrical costumes or cakes to the whole class – you can do anything, with access to only the materials you have around the house.
- Get the Halloween costume everyone wants. It does not matter if your children dream of being princesses or superheroes. You reuse and recycle to help your children be who they want to be.
Quarrels and quarrels and becoming friends again
It is not just food time, swimming and chores that can lead to the outbreak of World War II at home.
There are many other moments that will be able to give you some more gray hair. But when you look back at these little skirmishes, it will be with a smile.
- Take care of the home. “Do not kick the ball near the window!” “Do not touch it, it is fragile!” We repeat these phrases over and over again like a broken LP and often in vain. A child playing with a beloved heirloom is enough to sow fear in our mother’s heart.
- Choosing clothes. When they grow up, children want to choose their own clothes. Their taste in fashion is still evolving. That means a thousand changes of clothes and changes, a laundry basket filled with spotless, clean clothes and a chaotic wardrobe. Folding and putting away laundry does not seem to be in their vocabulary.
Back to childhood: 3 situations that only mothers understand
To some extent, being a mother means returning to childhood. Parents look at life with an adult maturity, but with a touch of childhood magic.
Having a family is a second chance at childhood. So break out of your adult comfort zone and enjoy every unique moment as much as your children do.
- Become a toy connoisseur. Yes, new toys. The dolls and toy kitchens available for purchase today are full of fun new features. And this will be your first chance to play with toys that you yourself did not get as a little girl. Have fun with the robots and the remote controlled cars!
- Become an expert on superheroes and princesses. The ones that were popular when you were little went out of fashion a long time ago. It is better that you keep up and engage with the characters that capture children’s fantasies today. Greta Gris, Paw Patrol and Spider-Man are waiting!
- You will accept your own body. You are ready to face the most uncomfortable questions with a smile: “Mom, why are you peeing while sitting?” “Why is Dad up?” And of course, the biggest question of all is: “Where do children come from?”
2 situations that all mothers will be able to identify with
- Concerns about the future. Nothing makes you happier than taking care of your little ones. But there is a hint of worry and doubt that makes every mother more than just a little anxious. What will my role in my child’s life be in the future? You think about the day your children move away from home, and you start thinking about what your relationship with your child when they have a partner and their own family will look like. But then you remember that it is still a long time until then.
- Always in their hearts. There is no question about it: your children will never forget you. You are their mother, and there is no one else in the world like you. You have got the strongest and most beautiful band. It will be forever. The small hands you hold will be the same ones that hold you when you need them the most. It is a love that only mothers understand.
