#MAMA&WIFELIFE
Good afternoon, ladies. One of our readers asked us to tell you a little bit about ourselves. We are two friends and sisters in faith. We are both first time moms and with this blog we hope to share our real life experiences and not paint the picture perfect Instagram posts that society often portrays.
Social media makes motherhood look glamorous, easy and effortless. Of course motherhood is one of the best gifts that God can give us, but it's not a walk in the park. We want to share the highs and lows of motherhood with you ladies. We want to connect with other moms and wives through this blog as well. We would love for you to write us if you have any questions or a specific topic you'd like for us to talk about relating to mom and wife life. Feel free to either comment below or DM us on our insta!
Now lets get to our actual blog post →
As a wife you have many responsibilities. In most cases, wives work full-time or part-time. There are times when you have an exhausting day at work and on top of that you have to come back home to prepare a nutritious meal for yourself and your husband. Even if you had a tough day at work, you can't leave your husband to starve. And eating out isn't always an option. In the sense that most men like a home cooked meal. That was the case for me. I worked full-time and I would come back home feeling super exhausted. I had a bad day at work with patients giving me an extremely hard time for something that's not even my fault. I was mentally and physically drained and would come home with no mood or energy BUT somehow I would get the energy to start cooking. How? I believe that when you really love your husband/wife you somehow get the energy. You want to make them happy. You want to do nice things for them, even if you have to push yourself that day because you don't have that energy. I also believe God plays a huge role in this. He gives us that strength and energy when we're feeling tired and have no interest in fulfilling our wife duties.
When you become a mom, things gets a bit more difficult. You have more responsibilities and you need more energy. Energy that you never thought you'd have. Sometimes you get three hours of sleep or no sleep at all, but throughout the day you somehow pull through. I surprise myself sometimes lol even with only three hours of sleep I sometimes try to look at the bright side like hey, at least I got some sleep. When looking into your precious baby's eyes you can't help but smile and you believe that it's all worth it for this precious little one. You understand that now not only do you have to cook for you and your husband as well as make sure the house is tidy, but you have to watch over and care for your baby, making sure his/her needs are met. A lot of times it's more draining than a full-time job. Before I had my baby I didn't believe that when other moms would say these kinds of things. Only now do I understand what they go through and feel on a daily basis.
When you become a mother, the relationship with your husband changes as well. You start to appreciate each other more. You both want what's best for your baby and that's the priority. Seeing your significant other love and take care of your little one makes you love and appreciate them even more. You come to the understanding that you are now more than ever a TEAM. You have to work together in raising and nurturing this human being that God entrusted you with.
Even if your baby is calm, you constantly worry about him/her. As they grow you have to teach them right from wrong. A lot of parents think "hey, I'll start raising my kids once they are older and start talking and understanding more". When in reality, babies understand so much from this young age. Probably more than we realize. You have to be strict with them at times, even if it breaks your heart. Metaphorically, your baby is a little seed that is being planted. You as parents water that seed. You water it with good or bad, the choice is yours. You water it by being an example. What you do (or don't do - skipping church or not reading the Bible with them/to them), what you say, how you talk to each other, etc. Depending on how this little seed was watered will show later on in life as the child grows up. Becoming a parent is a big responsibility and sometimes you worry if what you're doing is enough. All you can do is be the best example you can be and pray for them.
