Our mothers singlehandedly took care of the house without help
They swept the whole house inside and out twice every day
Went to the farm morning and evening like it was meal
They washed for everyone
Fetched water
Cooked
Cleaned every weekend
Woke up as early as 4:00 am, straight to the farm, did some harvest, then to the market to sell the produce
All these while still housing two little humans in their womb
They gave birth to 9 and took care of them without asking for help
And guess what?
They never grew weary
They never complained
They were completely traditional. Happily leaving their lives
But YOU?
Pregnant with just one (just one ooo) and you can't lift an arm.
You are tired already.
I have read and heard these things countless times and each time I kept wondering where conscience went to
Dear young lady,
It's in your best interest to know today that, there is no trophy for who suffered most.
Do not let yourself get drained
Do not let yourself get fr煤strated
Do not live for your children alone. Live for your self too.
If you want to have a voice that will be heard. If your dream is beyond running from the living room to the kitchen and back, you need help
Help from your spouse
Help from family
Help from neighbors
Help from anyone available at all
Yes! You need a care Giver
If you try to juggle everything together alone, you will get drained
You will get depressed
You will feel lost
Leave "strong woman" alone.
It is better to be labelled "lazy" and at the end you achieved your dreams than to loose yourself trying to prove a point
Get help fine girl
PS: I have not said you should not take care of your home oo. I only said you should get help so you can keep your dreams alive.
