Mom's feelings

4/6 Edited to

... Read more私もかつては、子育てや家事に全力を注ぎすぎて、自分のことを後回しにしてしまった経験があります。『頑張りすぎたママの末路』という言葉通り、誰にも迷惑をかけたくない一心で頼らず、自分で何とかしようとしていました。 毎日完璧を目指し、家族が少し休んでいても自分だけは止まれないという習慣が身についてしまい、いつしか「ちゃんとやらなきゃ」が癖のようになりました。その結果、疲れているのに自分だけが気づかず、限界でもまだ大丈夫と言い聞かせ続けていました。心の疲れは少しずつ積み重なり、イライラや無気力、理由のわからない涙に襲われることもありました。 しかし、気づいたときには自分の気持ちを大切にすることの重要性を痛感しました。頑張り続けることと、頑張れるときに頑張ることは違います。自分が壊れてしまえば、守りたいものさえ守れなくなってしまうからです。 私が変わったポイントは、少しずつ周囲に頼ること、そして完璧を求めすぎず、できる範囲で自分を労わることを始めたことです。例えば、パートナーや家族に助けを求めたり、時には自分の時間を持ってリラックスする時間を意識的に作りました。 「頑張りすぎた末路は感謝ではなく当たり前」だという言葉が刺さりました。家族のために頑張るのは素晴らしいことですが、自分の心が壊れてしまう努力を続ける必要はありません。ママが笑顔でいることが一番大切で、それが家庭の幸せにもつながります。 子育ての中で感じる孤独や辛さを共有できる仲間を見つけるのも心の支えになります。同じ気持ちのママたちと繋がって疑問や不安を話したり、共感してもらうことはとても励みになりますよ。 これからは「我慢が当たり前」の働き方や生活に終止符を打ち、自分の気持ちを大事にしながら無理なく日々を過ごしていけるように心がけたいと思います。皆さんも自分のペースで頑張りすぎず、時には休んだり頼ったりすることを忘れないでくださいね。
