2) Don’t try to be the DAD : as much as a mom would like to be in control of things, it’s okay to delegate. You are not alone in this, a dad should share all the rights and responsibilities. He is the dad, he should be aware of what is happening with his children. Don’t hesitate to ask dad to drive the kids to their karate over the weekend or pick them up from their after school activity. You do it all the time, it’s time for dad’s to share some duties and please “don’t feel guilty at all.” In my case, I did everything for Riri until she was five and until I started working multiple jobs. Work was then divided between hubs and me. Now, I stay back home after work to cook dinner, while he drives Riri to all her after schools and weekend birthdays. Win-win for all!
3) It is okay to indulge sometimes: be it extra couple of hours of sleep on a Saturday, or a mid week pedicure, we all deserve that occasional pampering. As much as I love the concept of celebrating Mother’s day, I feel mothers never stop doing what they do, so why should we celebrate her on just one day. Everyday should be Mother’s day and moms should be celebrated every day. Respecting them, acknowledging their worth should be done every single day. Never feel guilty if you order take out twice a week, or hang out with your girlfriends on a Saturday night, we all need that downtime. Remember every machinery needs periodical tuning and oiling, and we moms are no less than a machinery. So, go forward and use that extra time to indulge and tune up. And remember to keep that cell phone away when sleeping in late, social media can wait. I promise you will feel like a whole new you, ready to take up any God damn challenge…
4) wear a pair of kick-ass heels: studies prove that a pair of high heels have not only a behavioral but also a physical stimuli on females. Women who wear high heels feel more strong, empowered and attractive. They suddenly acquire this sense of confidence and kick-ass attitude. The explanation is kind of uncanny, but in high heels a woman’s buttocks appear larger and so does her breasts, and we all live for perky breasts and butts….right??? Whatsoever, the underlying motto is to feel good about yourself and exude all that self-confidence, and have that “I CAN DO IT ” attitude, be it through a pair of kick-ass high heels!!
