Have you ever had a moment to escape from the word "mother"?

Before we had kids, we thought, uh, we'd be good at raising kids.

But when really having... just one person is already tired

Here are two people. Say, "Different story." 😅

I woke up early. I haven't rested yet.

You have to start the mother mode immediately.

One was bent. The other called.

Some days haven't even eaten well.

Have a tired day until I don't want to talk to anyone

Just want to sit quietly alone.

But I can't.

And weird...

We just want to rest.

Still feel guilty

Our child is cute.

One hug disappeared, half tired.

But it must be accepted honestly.

That some days...

We also miss our lives before having children.

... Read moreการเป็นแม่เต็มเวลานั้นไม่ใช่เรื่องง่ายเลยครับ ในฐานะคนที่ได้ผ่านประสบการณ์เลี้ยงลูกสองคนแบบเต็มตัว ผมเข้าใจดีว่าความเหนื่อยล้าและความวุ่นวายเป็นส่วนหนึ่งของชีวิตประจำวัน ตั้งแต่เช้าจนค่ำ ไม่มีเวลาหยุดพักอย่างแท้จริง บางวันผมก็อยากจะหนีจากคำว่า ‘แม่’ บ้างเหมือนกัน เพราะรู้สึกว่าร่างกายและใจต้องการเวลาส่วนตัว แต่พอได้ยินเสียงลูก เรียกหา หรือได้กอดพวกเขา ความเหนื่อยล้าก็เหมือนได้รับการเยียวยาไปครึ่งหนึ่งแล้ว ผมรู้สึกว่าความรู้สึกผิดที่เกิดขึ้นเมื่ออยากหยุดพัก สะท้อนถึงความจำเป็นที่แม่ทุกคนต้องให้ความสำคัญกับสุขภาพจิตตัวเองด้วย การเลี้ยงลูกเชิงบวกไม่ได้หมายความว่าเราต้องเป็นซูเปอร์ฮีโร่ที่ไม่พักเลย แต่หมายถึงการดูแลตัวเอง เพื่อให้พร้อมดูแลลูกอย่างมีประสิทธิภาพมากขึ้น นอกจากความเหน็ดเหนื่อยแล้ว การเป็นแม่ยังเป็นบทเรียนให้เราเรียนรู้และเติบโตมากขึ้นในแต่ละวัน การได้เห็นลูกเติบโตและพัฒนาการที่ดี เป็นรางวัลที่มีค่าที่สุดเหนือความเหนื่อยทั้งหมด สำหรับแม่ที่กำลังรู้สึกเหมือนต้องการหนีจากคำว่า ‘แม่’ ผมอยากบอกว่า คุณไม่ได้อยู่คนเดียว มีแม่อีกหลายคนที่เข้าใจและพร้อมจะสนับสนุนกันในเส้นทางนี้ครับ สุดท้าย การเปิดใจยอมรับความรู้สึกทั้งดีและไม่ดีของตัวเอง ทำให้เรารักตัวเองและบทบาทแม่ได้มากขึ้น ขอให้ทุกคนพบความสุขในการเป็นแม่ แม้ว่าจะเหนื่อยแต่ก็เต็มไปด้วยความรักและโมเมนต์ที่มีค่ามากมายครับ

Get in that Word 🩵
You tell yourself you’ll do it later. After the emails. After the kids are settled. After things slow down. But later never really comes, does it? Here’s what I’ve learned, you’re not too busy for time with God. You’re just putting it last. And everything feels it when you do. Even ten minutes.

When your kids get married, it is not about their spouse entering the family and conforming. It is about two adults building their own family. And I’m saying this as a mother-in-law. When my children got married, I had a choice to make. I could cling to control…or grow into my new role.
