you were at home and you didn't clean up?

Mom's heart is deeply betrayed by that one word.

Struggling with children all day.

Put yourself off.

but just one word, thank you

There is a day to be saved.

Today's words to my mom who is by my side,

Please be aware of it.

... Read more私もかつて「家にいたのに片付いてないの?」と言われ、心がざわついた経験があります。子どもの世話に追われ、洗濯や料理も途中、食事も立ったままの状態で、家事が全然終わらない日もありますよね。 そんな時、無神経な一言を投げかけられると、「何もしていない」と突きつけられているようでとても辛いものです。子どもの世話で走り回り、気づけば一日が過ぎているのに、頑張りを見てもらえないと感じると心が傷つきます。 だからこそ、そばにいるママにかける言葉は「ありがとう」や「いつも頑張っているね」という優しい一言を意識したいです。小さな気遣いが、ママの心を守り、助けとなります。 私自身、その一言で心が救われた日も多かったため、言葉の力を改めて実感しています。家の中が散らかっていても、それは必ずしも「怠け」ではなく、子育てという大変な仕事の現実なのだと理解してほしいですね。
