So, I’ve seen many a list talking about what mothers need. With Mother’s Day coming up, I thought it fitting to compile a list of what I think every mother needs.
1. Personal Chef
When you become a mother, all of a sudden cooking becomes a crazy hard task.
Gone are meals like this:
When your baby is a newborn they undoubtedly start their “witching hour” as soon as you start to cook dinner.
Then your kids grow up and become picky eaters. Suddenly when they ask for a peanut butter sandwich, and you give them said sandwich, a fit occurs because what they really want is oatmeal.
If you had a personal chef, they could whip up whatever your little angel wants. Plus, they could still make an amazing meal for you, so you’re not left eating cereal since that’s all you had the energy to make.
2. Maid
Cleaning before kids was not picnic, but doable.
After kids… ha! If your house is anything like mine, then it looks like a battle has been fought on a daily basis.
Seriously though… no matter how much I have my children pick, this is what happens:
Then I have to actually clean on top of “helping” my kids pick up???
Ain’t nobody got time for that!
3. Personal Stylist
Ok, let me be the first to say I didn’t exactly have a great style before kids, but after kids? I have even less style.
I mean, I was pretty proud of the Easter outfit I pulled together.
I really would love to have someone find me clothes that would look good on me (but still be functional for a stay at home mom).
4. Personal Trainer
Now this may not be for everyone, but I actually enjoy working out.
What I don’t love is trying to find the time to work out, or figuring out what to actually do. If I could have a personal trainer come to the house that would be great.
5. A Village
All kidding aside, this is something I am serious about (well at least something that is more realistic, because I really would like the first four things). Being a mom is hard work. I don’t care if you are a working mom, or a stay-at-home mom. If you are breastfeeding or bottle feeding. If you are crunchy or not. We need to support each other. Finding other women you can hanging out with or ask questions, or simply vent to is amazing. Motherhood is not something that needs to be done alone. I’ve said this before, but I think it needs to be said again. It takes a village to raise a child, but it also takes a village to support a mom.
