Hey Quester’s, how are you today?
Well the kids are back to school and many mums and grandparents are probably feeling
tired but rested by now. Hopefully mums that work inside and outside of the
home are having some grown-up conversations. I’ve been sorting and organising
and putting things away, but that often feels like an uphill battle! Still
trying to get my children to understand that all their toys have their own home
at the end of day, instead of them being health hazards on the floor! I’m not
sure how they find their way out considering iPad's and laptops seem to be the
main choice of fun these days! A work in progress I guess.
Mother guilt is an interesting topic
that seems unnecessary in our lives, but something that needs to be discussed
as you continue your Quest! It seems the majority of women have these thoughts
or instincts that make them feel they have not done enough for their children.
It’s that nagging mind message of the intentions you had for your children
while they were very young. ‘I’m going to teach my children this, that and
everything,’ but as time goes on some of these things are less obtainable for
many reasons. Time is often at the top of this list and since there are only so
many hours in a day, we can only do what’s humanly possible. The more children
you have the harder it becomes to meet your intentions. Busy households can be
like watching worker bees hurrying around with little rest.
But what about you, you govern your
domain making everyone happy and have even less time to give to yourself. The
mother, matriarch, goddess in you has passionate pursuits to fulfilled, suppressing
theses diminishes the natural spark within. When you are happy the whole
household shines and a lot more is achieved. Don’t suffer for outward
appearances of what a woman should be. Be the person you are meant to be. Find
the balance; even draw up a list of household chores – that teaches everyone
that the house doesn’t magically appear clean, the pets don’t get fed by the
invisible man and wonder woman doesn’t weed the garden (or maybe she does!).
