I wasn't really going to talk. "That one word" that breaks my mom.

Mom does housework, childcare, and invisible work every day.

And yet -

"You can't be tired."

Are you angry about that?

If you say that... my heart will break.

Mom is not a robot.

Sometimes "that word" can be more violent than anything else.

In words, with love.

I want you to be someone who can protect without breaking it.

... Read more家事や育児を毎日こなしているママたちは、肉体的な疲れだけでなく、見えない心の疲れも抱えています。私も、親しい友だちから『ちょっとぐらい休めば?』と言われたことがありますが、実際には休む暇もなく、言葉の一つひとつが重くのしかかりました。 OCR画像にもあるように、トレーナーの視点からも「言葉」が人の心を壊す瞬間が何度も見られます。特にママは強くあろうとしても、繰り返される否定的な言葉には耐えられなくなってしまうものです。 例えば、「家事しかしてないのに疲れるわけ?」という言葉は、身体の疲労だけでなく心に大きなダメージを与えます。しかし、私たちママには心身共に回復できる時間がなかなか取れないため、一言で立ち直れなくなることもあります。 だからこそ、些細な一言こそ丁寧に扱い、相手の気持ちに寄り添うことが大切です。私自身も、ママ友との会話や家族とのやりとりで、言葉の重さを実感しました。言葉を支えにして、日々の辛さを乗り越えられるという実感が、心を守る第一歩です。 家庭や周囲の人たちは、言葉一つで支えにもなれば、傷つけることもあると理解してほしいと思います。そして、ママが「壊れるのを防ぐ」ために、誰もが温かくて優しい言葉を選べたらいいですね。
