How To Be a Happy Mother

We all wish we could become happy all the time, but can we? The key to happiness in a mother is getting rid of that Guilt built within her personality. We feel guilty if we weren't able to fulfill all the unrealistic dreams of our children, were too busy to spend more time with our kids, if we missed giving them healthy food for one day and ordered delivery, if we didn't have enough time to craft with them, if we made them cry, if we went out to breathe and left them with a babysitter once a month, if they cry when they go to school, if they were bullied, we, mothers, feel guilty all the time even though there is absolutely nothing to feel guilty about.

How can we relieve ourselves from that unproductive feeling that can trap us in a circle of self-accusations? If you don't force yourself as a mother to stop feeling guilty you will spend all your time blaming yourself for silly matters and this will make you awfully miserable.

First of all, you should learn that kids are never fully satisfied therefore when they look sad for not being able to do something lame don't blame yourself. Your job as a mother is to give them a hundred percent attention, provide them with healthy food, happy family if possible, make them feel safe and protected, take them out whenever it's possible and not whenever they desire to go out because believe me kids will want to live out if they could and spend quality time with them whenever you get the chance to. So if you're doing that you have nothing to feel guilty about even if they ask for things you cannot accomplish.

Second of all, you should know that in order to be happy you need to enjoy life as well so it is not all about being super mom it is also about being a super happy woman that is why you need to go out more often without your kids to be able to relax and have fun. Don't blame yourself for going out alone, you need it to be happy and they need you to be happy. Think that what you're doing is in their own benefit because when you are satisfied you will be ready to give more and they will be receiving even more.

Motherhood is a gift and we should not live it feeling guilty. Always remember that once a mom always a mom so you have to come out with a plan to survive motherhood and be happy both as a mother and a woman.
