even my mom is a human being.

4/28 Edited to

... Read more私自身も子育てをしながら、つい『我慢は大人の証』と思い込んでしまい、自分の感情を押し殺すことが多々ありました。一日に何度も『大丈夫』と嘘をつき、怒りや悲しみを表に出せずにいた結果、自己判断力の低下や『自分が悪い』という無意識の思い込みに陥っていた経験があります。 この状態が続くと、自分が本当に望んでいることや夢を忘れてしまい、他人に人生の舵を握られているような感覚に陥りました。しかし、気づいてからは少しずつ「自分の感情を認める」ことを意識し始め、例えば子どもが寝た後にゆっくりと好きなことをしたり、感情日記をつけることで自分自身と向き合う時間を確保しました。 誰でも我慢しなくてはいけない状況はありますが、重要なのは『我慢が強さではない』と理解し、自分の感情を大切に扱うことだと思います。周囲に相談し、時には助けを求めることで、自分の人生の主導権を取り戻し、より充実した日常を送れるようになりました。 この記事を読んでいるママたちにも、「我慢しすぎず自分を大切にする」ことの大切さが伝われば嬉しいです。自分自身を認めることができると、子育てももっと楽しく、豊かなものになっていくと実感しています。

Who Decided What “Enough” Even Is?
The guilt of not doing enough is real. But here's what nobody asks: enough by whose standard? Some days I get to the end of the day and run through a mental checklist of everything I didn't do. Didn't finish the laundry. Didn't reply to that email. Didn't get outside with my

How I Stopped Being an Angry Mom
Okay, mamas, let's have a real talk moment. I was that mom who yelled, who snapped over spilled milk (literally), who felt her blood pressure rise with every dropped toy, and whose patience ran thinner than my kiddos attention span. I was an angry mom, and honestly, it sucked. It sucked f

Even Jesus was tempted
The Devil comes when we are at low points, confused points, why ? Because those are the easiest times to try and sway you his way with the smooth talking he is so good at. Jesus was half human we have to remember that (Mary was his mom she was human) so he could have given in to temptation as w
