The first months of raising a baby are hard, sometimes even very hard. Because the first days you can still do, you could still say that you get ahead, if the baby is sleeping between shots; but immediately "wake up the beast" from within and gradually kidnap the mother so that even when she is at home, the house does not advance too much.
When parents do not know this, when they are not aware of how much life a baby can absorb, they can arrive in the afternoon after work and say that "How is everything, have you done nothing?". But not everyone is like that, and if they don't tell this mom we are talking about today, that after telling her husband she didn't know they would eat, because the girl just let him do nothing, received a beautiful response.
It was half past two and she said "We won't eat today"
His name is Fernanda and explained this story a few days ago in a Facebook group called OTs Buenrolleros. When I saw her, I asked her if she could publish it, because it seemed to me an incredible and unusual response today.
He agreed, and told me that that day his daughter, who is eleven months old, was more demanding than usual. He tried to move forward with her, but he barely left her. The house was "disgusted", the girl went from the scarf to the tit and from the tit to the scarf and, between one thing and another, the time to make the meal was lengthening until it was already half past two.
At that time her husband, Cease, sent you a message from Whattsapp to know how the morning was going, to know what he was doing. He finished his day an hour later, at 3:30 pm, and when he got home it was when he would eat, as he does every day. She sent him a picture taking care of the little girl telling her "He doesn't let go".
He was very funny and responded with a brief but sensible "And?", Which she replied with a "We will not eat today", accompanied by smiley emoticons, which was his way of telling him that he had not yet been able to start making some food.
"Do you have something to do other than watch your daughter grow up?"
And César told him what every mother would want to hear, that she was calm, that nothing happened, that He had nothing better to do than watch his daughter grow, the one of the two, and enjoy it:
And that she did. Relax in that sense, lie down with the girl and spend that time playing, because "it was all I wanted, attention and play." Otherwise, she could have tried to make food among her daughter's groans and complaints, maybe she couldn't have done it all, she would have ended up stressed and upset, and her daughter would not have been so happy with mom.
And it is that when it comes to children, every day is a new surprise. Not every day will be like this, there will be many in which the house can be picked up and the food will be there when everyone has to eat. But many others will be like this day, one of those in which a boy, a girl, is just asking you a little mom, to play, to learn, to share, to love.
In the end, everything happens. But in the meantime, you have to try to relax a little, breathe, and try to make those days that seem tiring, difficult, black ..., be a little less.
