Sometimes A Woman Needs A Mother Guide To Sanity

By Matthew Murray


There are a lot of challenges when you decide to become a parent. Whether you are a single mother ready to do it by yourself, or a wife in a marriage, nothing can get you ready for the road ahead. It would be nice if somebody wrote a book or held classes for a mother guide to sanity. The only sure thing that comes from being a parent is that your child holds many unforeseen adventures that will be discovered in time. Until then, a mom needs to realize that things are going to happen that will make you want to scream and cry at the same time.

One of the most challenging things about becoming a new mom is the fact that their careers should be put on hold for the first few years of the childs life. It is not always possible to stay with the child for the first few years, but it is medically necessary for the health of both the mom and the child. It does take at least six weeks to fully recover from child birth.

After the maternity leave is over, there becomes another challenge which is finding dependable child care. Not only is it hard to find someone to watch the child, it is often very expensive. In order to get back to work and careers, mothers need help making sure the child is safe and is developing social skills.

When the child reaches school age, around four or five years old, another challenge of motherhood will rise. It is often very hard for mothers to let go of the child and allow them to go to school. It often has something to do with keeping them company during the day, so when the child is gone, it leaves the mother alone.

After elementary school and middle school, the child will bring a new set of challenges that most parents do not understand. Peer pressure, school work and hormonal changes turns the sweet child into a stranger. There are ways to help your teenage cope with pressures that seem to help them make the right decisions in this critical time of their lives.

Getting the teen active in after school sports and activities will help teach them the proper way to deal with the pressures of the real world. It is well known that the decisions the teen makes can overtly affect their future. This is true in the areas of school, socializing and careers. Without proper education, the teen may make very bad decisions and get wrapped up in bad things that can change their life.

After the teen graduates from high school, the next big decision is when and where to go to college. This can be a hard time for both the parents and the child but the more they are informed, the easier time they will have to choose the right college. When they go to college, the parents will often experience what is known as empty nest syndrome.

When they graduate college, they will either come home or find a career of their own. This is a time of peace and quiet. Most of the time, the parents are retired and can start a new life enjoying each others company.
