Do Mums Get Enough Credit?

I have often seen a post flying around facebook about all the things that us mums do on a daily basis. Just to mention a few of things we do:

• Cooking, 
• cleaning, 
• school run, 
• appointments, 
• shopping, 
• laundry, 
• ironing, 
• household bill management, 
• little errands

 - the list is never ending. Trying to do all that we do, plus holding a job down is quite a lot of work for anyone. Wouldn't it be lovely to kick back and relax? If you're anything like I am, relaxing isn't as easy as it sounds. I always find that when the kids are not around, I still end up looking for things to keep myself busy.


What do you do when you have a moment to yourself?

I think all mums are wonderful to have made the choice to have children and commit their time and effort to them. To nurture them and bring them into the world guiding them one step at a time. Catching them when they fall and holding them when they cry. After all if we never had children, our world would come to an end.

Every child needs their mum, she is their rock and one true person they can count on when they have nowhere else to turn.

I wrote this post as a recognition of all mums out there, working mums, stay-at-home mums, whatever kind of mum you are - you are all wonderful....  all trying to do what you think is best for your children. No matter how many times you doubt yourselves, or receive criticism or maybe the mother-in-law doesn't think you are doing it right. Even so, you stand strong and keep your children's best interest at heart.
As long as your children have your love, nothing else matters.......   not toys, money, sweets, expensive holidays...  just as long as they have your love they will grow up happy - of that I am sure.

So if ever you're having a bad day and don't think you are a good mum, keep your chin up and think about all the good things you do for your children  xx
