10 tips from perfect new mothers
Trick No. 1
Become a pastry pro by making a cake that throws!
The concept : start making a gravity cake, a kingdom of sugar paste ice cream or a football-shaped cake to delight your child and throw some on Facebook “This afternoon, challenge! # 4years #supermom ”.
Reality : the candies break the mouth, no friend recognizes Elsa, Anna or even Olaf, the ball collapses towards the center before being able to take the photo. You finish with “fresh egg” madeleines from the grocer. Defeated, but proud.
Trick No. 2
Always say yes to make children reasonable
The concept : to organize a “Yes day”, that is to say to answer yes to all the requests of the children to realize How long they are ultimately responsible for their actions and able to regulate themselves.
Reality : they stay planted in front of the TV (upside down, their feet on the back of the sofa), pilling up all the cakes (even the rotten ones that one never dares to throw away), not bathed, homework in plan. Tomorrow you will try the “no day”.
Trick No. 3
Running in a stroller
The concept : playing sports (running) while taking care of your child (walking). Too classy, especially with the photo of the mother nursing while sweating in her tight Lycra outfit and the baby whose rebellious lock has been perfectly smoothed with paraben-free gel.
Reality : it is raining, the perineum is in pain, the child is screaming, the stroller is too heavy, on the descents, we are afraid to drop everything! And above all, the people around do not always understand and stop you (it must be said that you are almost walking) to ask you the time, intrigued by this little first of the class in the basket so mismatched with your very soft pregnancy jogging, dangling from the buttocks
Trick No. 4
Lose thigh volume while breastfeeding for a long time
The concept : breastfeed for more than six months so that the body can draw on fat reserves and at the same time comply with the WHO recommendations for feeding the newborn.
Reality : after two months (or weeks or days, it depends …), you dream of throwing away all the yellowed t-shirts, of leaving for more than two hours away from the child and you nightmare at the idea of pulling your milk in the open space toilet. Besides, you would take a few squares of chocolate again to stop thinking about all that.
Trick No. 5
Ban wipes
The concept : use lukewarm water, liniment, soap, but especially no wipes to clean a baby’s bottom! Sustainable environment and precaution against toxic substances oblige.
Reality : to the first overflowing layer in the morning before leaving for work or during a dinner with friends, you dive back. Shamefully but surely. You missed even the slightly chemical scent of the wipes.
Trick No. 6
Living according to mantras
The concept : “Be happy, stop complaining, keep hope, stay strong. It is about pasting Zen quotes all over the house, on the fridge, the cellar door, above the TV to calm the family atmosphere and motivate the troops.
Reality : you no longer see the sentences by running past, shouting (laughing too of course) and only the guests, dumbfounded by the bickering, the disorder and your dark circles read the mantras to give themselves the courage to stay anyway having dinner.
Trick No. 7
Giving birth without an epidural
The concept : learn to manage pain by waving on a ball or taking a lukewarm bath casually, feeling the contractions in his flesh, pushing effectively …
Reality : your cervix is two, you have no desire to sit in a bathtub, on a balloon or any place other than the bed in the birth room and you are already begging the midwife to put you down. After all, why go against the progress of medicine?
Trick No. 8
Make a special children’s garage sale
The concept : resell children’s clothes, toys, nursery equipment at low prices to clear the house and give objects a second life! #recup #good action
Reality : you can’t take the plunge and pile everything in bags marked 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, which are moldy in the cellar. In case the madness of having another child takes you, it could well be used again… The problem: within a few months, the outfits will no longer match the new patterns in the Ikea catalog! #so much the better.
Trick No. 9
The concept : never raise your voice to be heard, but show self-confidence. “The children, at the table, without arguing (smile of a new perfect mother sure of herself), it’s time, I made good homemade bread! “.
Reality : to the third “A table! I count to three! You scream to shake the walls of the house. And the chicken nuggets are obviously very hot.
Trick No. 10
Take time for your relationship
The concept : find a babysitter on a Saturday evening to finally have a movie, a romantic restaurant, no stroller, no changing bag, no blanket that falls in the car or children’s menu with free coloring at the aperitif.
Reality : there is so much expectation and hope contained in this evening that the slightest disappointment saps morale. The film was average. A spectator was laughing at the wrong time. The dishes were served lukewarm. A remark from the other annoyed you: “This dress looks good on you” (it’s not a dress, it’s a SKIRT). And it’s time to go home because the babysitting euros parade on the meter, worse than in a Parisian taxi. the
