Why are you so tired, you do the whole day walking in the park?
This article was written by a mother from Bulgaria, but the Website feels that described in it familiar to many mothers from other countries.
Each mother can find their favorite phrase from the mouth of her concerned friends and acquaintances, which are said to support, but cause the opposite effect.
One of these sentences - an innocent question: "Why are you so tired - after all you do all day walking in the park?" Contains a subtle allusion to the fact that my mother is busy nothing special. Because we all know that she is sleeping late, then slowly apply makeup, lunch and in the afternoon, go for a walk in the park, where he studied Portuguese with the help of a tutorial, while the baby is sleeping in the stroller.
This statement is so unfair that it deserves a public denial. That is what we will now do.
So, you already have a child and you have come up after the first few weeks of motherhood, when you are walking their baby its on schedule, wrapped in blankets, five, dressed in overalls and always in the company of your husband. Gradually, everything goes back to square one - to others, but not for you
. It is likely that you want diversity, for example, such as a walk in the park. However, surprisingly, it requires much more effort than a leisurely promenade avenue blossoms on:.
< - physical effort I do not know, as it happens in other cities, but walk with a stroller in Sofia - anyway, that participate in competitions in powerlifting. Pavement in this city reminds antimatter that scientists have caught a few seconds, after which she immediately disappeared, the same thing happens with sidewalks. Or stroller gets stuck in the hole between the paving slabs or you splatter mud. It is good that you have with him an immense bag, which lies kilogram of wet wipes, and you use them to put themselves in a more or less decent view. But once done with scrubbing the dirt in front of you there is the next obstacle - the ramps in the underpass
-. Mental effort (nerves) Once you've finally made it to the park in a relatively. decent form - not very dirty and not very sweaty, begins the real walk that many people imagine this: you are seated on the bench, to drink coffee and eat cheesecake, and in the meantime the child is asleep.
What's really going on? You have a busy working day, which will begin with the fact that the child is likely to be constantly hungry, and depending on what he eats you:
Wrap scarves and towels, become breastfeed him, trying to make it as inconspicuous as possible; will begin to prepare the milk of a dry mix using a thermos with hot water, a box with the mixture and the bottle, but if you forget to take at least one of these three things, then you have to go home; open jar of squash puree, which you have prepared in the morning and give it to the baby, and he would start to spit out the mashed potatoes on his jacket, and a carriage for you. < /The walk continues to change the diaper, which is not easy to do, especially if the child is a year old. This process is reminiscent of the struggle heroes-pehlevanov, because the child will be pulled out of your hands and run around the park, while you ask him to stand still, and passers-by, keeping a safe distance, bet who will win in this battle.
Depending on the age of the child walk can proceed in two directions:
you shake your stroller at a moderate or brisk pace of waiting until the child falls asleep, and then, if you're lucky, building a nest on a bench, hiding behind dark glasses and go to sleep, too. Or, if your child as my wakes up as soon as it no longer rocking, you continue in the same vein for two or three hours. you bring the child to the playground, where: you go with him on the mound, where already gathered 13 children from 3 to 8 years, who jostle and bounce, and at the foot of hills are their parents and shout: "Do not push, why do you push?" "Come on, one more time, and we're leaving!". You, too, shouting: "Beware, do not go there, and then you fall" and "Come here, sit down and slide down!". Everything is repeated five to fifty times; He runs to the swings, which are available at that moment, and you at this time, corrects a bra that is no longer there, where it is necessary; five minutes later he tired to swing, and the child runs in a sandbox, which borrows someone's shoulder blade; the owner of the blade starts to cry, going away from mom consortium owner and mother of the offender and start erudite conversations. "Bring a shovel, I'll give you a rake." "How much do you think? - A year and three months. - Oh, look older! - Everybody says so. "" Come on, bring a shovel and go ride a small train. "" Come eat sand! "This goes from half an hour to an hour or until the end of the sand in the sandbox.
And now, after a few hours, disheveled, sweaty and tired mom in a hurry to leave the park and get back home, where it:
t antibacterial hand soap, buckets and molds for playing in the sandbox; < / is trying to cook something superprivlekatelnoe for dinner, but the child is not eager to dine; puts the baby to sleep in a record 38 minutes; finally, around 10:30 am stretched on the couch to relax on a walk and repeat the same thing the next day.
