Hi Ladies!

This is my participation in The 47th Edition of the Ladies of Hive Community Contest answering the question How many times do you look at the mirror?

How often do I look in the mirror?

I have to say it, I don't look at myself in the mirror anymore....

I am a mom of a 3 year old prince and a 5 month old princess, since my daughter was born it is difficult for me to look at myself in the mirror on an ordinary day, I mean I walk by the mirror, I brush my teeth in front of it, and I can even notice if I am disheveled or not, but I don't look at myself anymore, I don't notice how my eyebrows are, if I have more gray hair, or how the clothes I am wearing at that moment fit me.

I am taking care of my children, I am alone at home with them and my pet Nero (a 4 year old golden retriever), the day goes by like water through my fingers, my daughter is exclusively breastfeeding on demand, so I invest a lot of time in that, and my prince has a hard time eating alone, I almost beg him to eat, between taking care of them and doing the housework I spend the day.

Being a full time mother is demanding, I know there are many mothers here who can understand me, and despite how exhausting it can be I would not change it for anything, the satisfaction of seeing my children grow and having the security that they are well taken care of is priceless, I do not have anyone I trust who can take care of them.

This decision to stop working was made by my husband and I when I had my first child, and I always repeat that it is the best decision I have ever made in my life.

At this point in my life, time for me is a little scarce, when I am accompanied by my mom or my husband I have a little more freedom, but that only happens on weekends, and then I may see myself in the mirror at least once a day or even twice a day, hahaha!
