"Site" He will tell you what problems a new mother faces and how to find the strength to overcome everything. motherhood (And there are many!)

Mother's work
  1. Audio terror
    Crying a little bundle of happiness is perhaps the most annoying thing in the world. And even the unbearable contact of foam and glass loses to him at times. The ability to scream heartbreakingly is conceived by evolution, because previously only those babies who screamed louder than others survived. Baby crying is something that cannot be tolerated for long. The mother’s nervous system is designed to stop this crying immediately, otherwise wild animals will come and make ends.

    Basic needs are not satisfied - frantic crying, immature nervous system - crying for any reason, immature digestive system - colic and crying again. Yes, everyone knows that children tend to cry, but the fact that they yell around the clock and so heartbreaking is a discovery for many new parents.

  2. Physical exhaustion
    Motherhood is forced daily training. No wonder the period after childbirth is often called the “fourth trimester” – the bond of the baby and mother is almost as inseparable as during pregnancy. The back hurts everyone, even those who can boast of strong muscles. The wheelchair often has to be lifted, worn down, and sometimes up. Grown-up children also often do not get away with it, and also love when they are thrown into the air, twisted and play catch-up with them. No need to go to the gym!

  3. Sleep deprivation
    The average woman needs an order of magnitude more sleep than a man, but nature does not care. The first year of motherhood is associated with lack of sleep. As a result, the mother gets depression, distraction, nervous exhaustion and a bouquet of diseases that there is no strength to treat.

  4. Every day is the same.
    For healthy development, the child needs a calm and stable environment, a clear regime and repetitive things from day to day. Unfortunately, for an adult who is not used to sitting at home, the daily routine turns into torture. Everything washed is immediately stained, everything gathered in a pile is scattered around the house, and everything cooked in an hour is eaten per second. The same cartoons, children's songs and classes. “Raise your hand, who among you did not want to shoot himself from the “blue tractor is coming to us in the fields”, heard for a hundred thousand times?” – complains journalist and mother Olga Karchevskaya.

  5. Sensory loads
    When a woman becomes a mother, she loses her right to physical integrity. A small, constantly screaming person touches her whether she wants to or not, sucks her breasts and often does not let go of the second, without asking if the owner of the breast is comfortable. It can bite or hit just because it can’t express its feelings. Makes you wear it on your hands, requiring continuous contact. Thus, the child satisfies his basic needs of life, and the needs of the mother are dusted somewhere far away in the closet. Every second woman feels discomfort from the inability to dispose of her body and limit penetration into her intimate zone.

  6. Mom is a full-time therapist
    Small people manage to get above the emotions by the age of seven, and the time before that - regular tantrums and screams about anything. Whether it's a broken lollipop or mom's prohibition to sip water from a puddle. Depending on the temperament, the child will either harass the mother with constant tantrums, or turn the life of the unhappy into a real hell. My mother is a psychotherapist who works without a weekend. It is an experience that is difficult to describe in words.

  7. Increased requirements
    If before, to be called a good mother, it was enough that your child was alive, dressed and fed from time to time, today the bar is extremely high. “After 3 years, it is too late. Are you a year old and do not have self-care and hygiene skills? Vocabulary and royal manners by one and a half years, no later.” And sports, all sorts of sections and no diapers at 2. Are you a bad mother? By the way, a good mother immediately after childbirth should regain her former form, stretch marks on the body are unacceptable, as well as bruises under the eyes from lack of sleep. Step right or left, you're a bad mother.

  8. Social exclusion
    When you become a mother, you suddenly find yourself alone with a baby in your arms. Your carefree and childless friends become not very comfortable to see you, and you with them, because you need to adjust to the regime of the baby. And if you succeed, then the screaming lump will not give you a pleasant time. The maximum you get is the same moms you meet on playgrounds. And it would be a great luck if you have anything in common with such a mother, except for children. But before you communicate, when your tomboy throws sand in the eyes of another, and he takes away his car?

  9. Lack of compensation
    If, when you went to work, you received a decent financial reward for it, then reproductive labor is practically not paid. The labor book is not recorded, pensions are not deducted for it, and qualifications are completely lost. And if at work they can give a diploma, write out a prize or hang your portrait on the board of honor, then do not expect praise for homework. This is purely female duties, it is normal, for this is not praised. And if your constricted person is brought up in patriarchal traditions, you will also fly for unwashed dishes or oversalted borscht.

“There are many lovers of the experience of our grandmothers, and they broadcast from every iron. It is a pity that they do not remember how many of the same women who gave birth in the field died in childbirth, how low the survival rate was among children, how infanticide was spread, because another mouth family can not pull.

There were no diapers, no washing machines, no hot tap water. And there were postpartum depressions, they just didn't have a name, and so there was no cure. Therefore, dads, please, let’s leave our great-grandmothers alone, and let’s go help our wives in their difficult work, sums up Olga Karchevskaya.
