When women become Mums they often forget about their own needs, hopes and dreams: the children and the family come first. They feel the pressure to always be available for their little ones and end up neglecting their passions and desires.
There are many different types of Mum and there is no such thing as the “right Mum”. Some women feel completely fulfilled being full times Mums, and that is perfectly ok. There are also women who feel as though they need something else outside their family, such as their own business, which they can run from home, and that is ok too. These are two different ways to contribute to the wellbeing of the family: it is time to stop worrying, both of these scenarios are fine, and it is time to stop making useless comparisons. Being fulfilled outside of the family does not always mean being a bad Mum; being available for our children’s every sigh does not necessarily make us great Mums. If we can accept a messy house and let the kids run around while we work on our projects, we can embark on new exciting adventures, being able to juggle both our work as entrepreneurs and our role as parents.
