Over the past several generations, the true role of mother and wife has been somewhat devalued. It is often difficult for a woman to make a choice between the ghostly happiness of motherhood and an uphill career. Moreover, society, the press and television are increasingly calling on the beautiful half of humanity to be as independent as possible. If you decide to abandon the imposed stereotypes and devote yourself to your family, you will have to do a good job on yourself.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, agree with yourself - who you want to be: a good wife and mother or a successful and independent person. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to combine these two roles at once. If you want to achieve a successful career, you will have to sacrifice communication with your family, and a successful motherhood and a strong marriage will not leave you enough space to work.
Step 2
Having made a choice in favor of realizing your feminine qualities, you do not at all give up your own interests. Just admit that the man is the head of the household. Be sure to reserve time for your favorite hobbies, work and meet with your friends, but always remember that your love life should not conflict with the interests of your loved ones.
Step 3
Even without being the perfect housewife, you can make your home an oasis of peace and safety for your husband and children. Always treat them with understanding. Try to always look at the situation through the eyes of your opponent. Households will strive to be close to you as soon as possible if they are sure that you will support them in any situation.
Step 4
Prioritize your family correctly. A child, no matter how desirable he is, should not be the master of the house. This role must unconditionally belong to the husband. Remember that loving children has nothing to do with limitless pampering. You have thousands of ways to show your care and tenderness, so do not make your husband the third extra in the family, giving all of yourself to the child. However, do not forget that you yourself were once children and try to make concessions to younger family members whenever possible. The combination of all these rules will make the child understand that you - the parents - are not supervisors over him, but people who understand and love him. At the same time, reasonable severity will teach children to respectfully adhere to family rules and foundations.
Step 5
Keep yourself in shape and do not forget that the man loves with his eyes. Do not demand the impossible from yourself, do not exhaust the body with diets and difficult workouts, change gradually and this will lead to better results. Self-care can be combined with household chores, because you can cook dinner with a mask on your face and do some simple physical exercises while cleaning and walking. Good looks will give you self-confidence, which will allow you not to harass your husband with obsessive jealousy and not to irritate your children with a bad mood.
Step 6
Make time for the two of you with your husband. Don't let your love drown in household and money matters. Call your relatives for help and at least once a month get out somewhere together for the weekend. If you don't have the opportunity, having romantic dinners while the kids are sleeping will bring something new into your life.
Step 7
Allow yourself time to rest. You don't have to be the perfect wife and mom seven days a week. Ask your husband and children to give you a couple of hours every day or one weekend for personal affairs. This will allow you to relax and distract yourself.
