Here is what comes under a mom’s regime
She respects the maternal instinct
The maternal instinct is a feeling that arises when a woman becomes a mother. It describes wonderfully the natural and inordinate love of a mother for her child.
The maternal instinct prompts women to protect their children, ensure their safety and meet their basic needs such as eating, moving, sleeping, and thriving. Following your instincts, sometimes ignoring outside opinions, is already being a good mother.
She stays in agreement with the decisions
Whether you want one or more children, whether you wish to continue working or take maternity leave, you need to be in control.
If you are in agreement with your decisions, you will not feel obligated to defend them, and you will be less stressed daily. A good mother is a mother who leads her life as she wishes and not a mother who is just a spectator.
She takes time for the children
To be a good mother is to take care of your children. On a daily basis, it is imperative to make time to play with children and educate them. Take care of their homework, read books, go out for family activities, etc.
A mother’s role is to take care of her home, but she must also have fun with the children, even if this means that some household chores will not be done.
She practices authority
Parents must maintain their status and sometimes exercise authority. This is how he will be respected and will be able to educate his children. Punishing is not about being a bad parent. You have to know how to adapt your behavior to the child’s age and the mistakes committed.
She includes children in life
A mom at the top takes her children everywhere. She shares her daily life with them and makes them discover the world. You have to dare to take your children to museums, restaurants, concerts; you have to make them travel, etc.
She ensures to be a united couple
A good mother is a mother united to dad. This union is essential because it gives reference points to the children and promotes the whole family’s well-being.
A good mom knows how to ask dad for help. She also knows how to give him his place with the children and accept his methods, even if they are different. You have to trust yourself.
She pleases herself with all she does
Being a good mom is thinking about yourself. Moms have to manage their family life and their career. They take care of the children as well as the house. For all these reasons, a good mom should take time for herself. Each week, she must make time to play sports or see her friends.
The mother is very often the central figure in the child’s life, his first contact with the world. But becoming a mother can be learned. From birth to adolescence and even beyond, motherhood allows you to forge strong bonds with your child.

She understands all the roles of a mother
She takes care of the children, preparing food, ironing the clothes, doing the laundry, doing the dishes, going to work. These tasks await a mother every day, especially if she lives alone or does not have the support of her husband.

She takes care of the baby
Once Baby arrives, it is the mother who has to take care of it the most. Most of her time will be devoted to the new kid. A list of tasks awaits her: breastfeed, give him a bath, change diapers, go to the pediatrician, have him vaccinated, teach him good manners.
Being a new mom is not easy, as the pace changes. The nights are sometimes tricky and short. The baby is crying, and as a mom, this is to be expected! And worst of all, she has to guess what is happening to her baby.
Mom must therefore learn about all the possible situations of her baby, and that, according to his age. She should get information from her pediatrician or on forums on the web or in mothers’ groups on social networks.
She may have to do the role of a housewife as well
When we talk about a homemaker, people often think of a mother who does nothing at home. She is a person that people even consider to be a woman who is only waiting for her husband’s salary. Sad! These people are wrong.
If you are a stay-at-home mom, know that it is the most challenging job you can imagine. Taking care of the house, the children and the daddy requires 24/7.
A stay-at-home mom asks for neither leave nor salary. She does this job with a lot of love. Without it, who will take care of the children to go to school? Or even worse, if the child is still small, who will take care of the baby? The baby will still need a lot of attention and a lot of love.
She has to become both a mother and an employee
She’s the kind of woman who takes care of both her home and her job. Often, his time is no longer his. In the morning, she leaves for work. In the evening, she takes care of the house and the children. To be a salaried woman, it is advisable for all mothers to let their children grow up first before working.
For example, when the children stay in school all day, she can look for a job that suits her. Otherwise, it is better to remain a housewife if the child is still small. Thus, at each end of the month, the salaries of mom and dad will be enough to cover all the essential expenses of the family and even to fund a small savings account.
She has to become both a mother and a student
Nowadays, there are several similar cases in universities. There are students, and they are mothers. It may sound strange, but it’s true! Moms continue their studies on the university benches. And that is not at all upsetting because it is a will that they impose on themselves the goodwill that could significantly improve their future.
Also, there is nothing like learning and discovering new things every day. These lessons will be used not only for work but above all for a lesson to pass on to children.
The ability to learn may not be the same, but they will still know what to do in order to be successful. At the same time, mother of a family and “wife of her husband.”
She has to run the role of a wife
A mother does not only take care of the children and the house but above all of her husbands. She takes care of clothes, breakfast, and everything her husband needs before going to the office each morning. It is both an honor and a proof of love to share for a happy couple.
In the evening, she must also prepare a good cold or hot shower, according to the needs of her dear husband. Besides, dinner should be served on time so that he can rest for tomorrow’s work.
In short, being a mother requires love and patience. She no longer has time for herself. Often, she shares her time with dad and the kids or even at work. For dad, help your wife in her daily activities.
Your support will give her the necessary motivation to continue each day. Moreover, you have a commitment to make with your wife regarding your children’s education by teaching them good manners.
She chooses the kind of mother she wants to become
There is no manual for motherhood. Some mothers look back on their own childhood with pleasure, and others have less positive experiences. What do you want to take with you and what not? Do you want to educate strictly or not, traditional or modern?
A good mother
You sometimes get well-intentioned advice from others. These can help you but also make you insecure. Why do other parents know? Am I doing it right? ‘Every mother and every child is different.
Sometimes you are under pressure because of your child’s temperament or because you have problems at work or in your relationship. Life skills such as seeking support, coping well with stress, and having confidence in yourself will help you.
Combining tasks
As a mother, you are essential for the growing up of your child. You teach your child various skills, such as working together, empathizing with others, and self-confidence. You may be homeless often than your own mother used to be.
Don’t feel guilty about that. The point is that you and your child enjoy the time you spend together and that you can adequately combine care, work, and other tasks and responsibilities. Motherhood doesn’t have to be an achievement.
She listens carefully to her child
Watch and listen carefully to your child. Try to get to know it as best you can. Then you will learn more quickly whether it is comfortable in his own skin. The trick is to be alert but not too concerned.
It is equally important that you are doing well. In addition to being a mother, you are also human, and you have the right to be happy. So take care of yourself. Then you are a good example, and your child usually feels good too.
She talks to other moms
It helps you know more about how others experience motherhood and the development of children in a general sense.
Also, talk to your partner about the changes in your relationship and discuss the division of labor. Preferably do this before your child’s birth: good preparation and coordination will help you in parenting.
She takes support during upbringing
Support from your environment in parenting and parenting becomes essential. This helps you to be a good parent. If you notice that your immediate environment cannot provide sufficient support, it is imperative that you seek other help. Then talk to the doctor.
The first few weeks and even the first months after your baby is born, it is pretty standard for you to be confused by the confusion of your feelings. The more or less positive experience of your childbirth, the pains, the adjustments for the establishment of your breastfeeding, the accumulated fatigue, the quality of support that you receive or miss all of this can have an influence on how you feel.
When reality differs from your expectations, it accentuates this confusion. Becoming a mother is not easy. It takes time. Most moms have tough days when they feel overwhelmed by the responsibilities of caring for a little one.
Know in any case that you are not alone to live difficult moments with your baby, who does not expect to have a perfect mother but rather good enough quite simply! Over time, you will take a step back and enjoy simple moments that will fill you with happiness and make you forget the moments of stress and uncertainty.
Why should children be satisfied with less than with an ideal mother?
Since the classic housewife and mother have had their day, mothers today are overwhelmed with demands from many sides: They should be professionally involved in our modern world and get ahead there, but also devotedly take care of family and children, organize varied family life and be a partner for the man and be lovers.
This is an extensive program that should be maintained over many years of life and inevitably leads to excessive demands if the forces are not adequately distributed.
What does that mean in concrete terms: a “sufficiently good” mother?
First of all, the midterm for you is the “sensitivity” in dealing with the child: You have to recognize their needs, get involved with the offspring, and help them realize the complicated world and find their way around it.
The what and how of letting in and supporting is subject to the possibilities that mothers can and want to use based on their own attitudes and experiences. This creates a wide variety of motherhood variants, all of which are always “sufficiently good.”
In contrast, what is a clearly bad mother for you?
One who lets everything go, who assumes that a child will get what it needs by itself, a mother who is hardly interested in the needs of children and who does not recognize them either is a bad mother. However, it is also not very helpful to put too much into the child’s needs and want to adjust them according to your own ideas.
The child of such a mother can hardly have its own learning experiences and develop no self-efficacy; it can hardly experience that it can do what it wants to do and is thus understood.
Are women increasingly delusional about the tremendous personal investment of time and affection associated with having a child?
With the first child, the requirements are usually underestimated. It then depends very much on how the women are supported to develop their motherliness appropriately.
Does it endanger the development of a young child if he or she is in a crèche for several hours a day?
This is a central question that has moved early childhood explorers for many years. They found that a mother can maintain a close bond with her child, even if it is looked after by other people from a very early age.
Suppose the mother continues to take care of the child sensitively in the remaining time and encourages its development. In that case, the quality of her relationship with the child will continue to exist.
How important is it that a mother enables her very young child to come into contact with their peers?
In such a contact, competencies arise at the end of the second year that the child cannot acquire when dealing with adults, so there are development impulses. In this way, the child learns, for example, to come to terms with situations “on an equal footing,” to negotiate conflicts, and to make compromises.
A child cannot learn this in contact with adults because they are more socially competent and quickly find a better solution.
Frequently Asked Question
