When a small child appears in a family, a young mother faces a lot of trouble and does not have time to redo all household chores. In addition, she gets tired after each such day, and sometimes there is no time for rest. To start living differently, you need to plan everything carefully.
Instructions
Step 1
Many mothers devote the whole day to the child, and they start household chores only when the baby falls asleep. And here most women make the main mistake - they try to redo everything at once. As a result, you have a lot of unfinished business. Plan your time clearly: devote only one activity each day of the week. For example, Monday for cleaning, Tuesday for washing, Wednesday for ironing, etc.
Step 2
Make a menu for the week ahead. This will help you both when planning your purchases and while preparing your meals.
Step 3
Distribute things so that you can only do urgent things yourself: walking with the baby, cooking, etc. Everything else - ironing, cleaning, etc. - postpone until the arrival of dad or someone from the family. Ask them to be with the child while you yourself calmly redo all the planned work.
Step 4
Try to avoid unnecessary things. Analyze which of your actions are consistently useless. For example, cleaning toys, which in a minute the child again scatters throughout the apartment. And now and then you follow him and collect them in a box. Do not waste your strength, nerves and precious time. Remove toys only before your baby goes to bed. In the evening, entrust this activity to your dad, and when the baby grows up a little, involve him in putting things in order. Over time, this responsibility will completely fall on his shoulders.
Step 5
If you don't get enough sleep at night, be sure to rest with your baby in his lunchtime sleep. Bring this into your plan. After all, it is because of chronic fatigue that performance is greatly reduced.
Step 6
Take care of yourself. Don't expect someone else to do it for you. Give yourself a well-deserved rest at least once a week. Arrange a shopping trip, treat yourself to long-awaited new things, make an appointment for a friend in a cafe, visit a theater, an exhibition or watch the premiere of a new film in a cinema. Remember to take breaks from your daily routine. This will provide you with extra energy and a positive attitude. And you will always have time for everything.
