Hey everyone and welcome back to my channel. Today we're going to have a bit of a mum pep talk
0:05
Now I don't know how many times you've been like, oh my god, am I doing the right thing as a mum
0:10
Like, am I mum enough? What on earth am I doing as a mum
0:14
You know, I feel like as mums these days we put so much pressure on ourselves. We're constantly sort of looking over there thinking, oh that person's doing that, that, and that person's doing that
0:22
And we can be hugely critical of ourselves. and sometimes we just need someone to sit us down and tell us you are mum enough so today I'm going
0:32
to be that person and I'm going to be that person to tell you five reasons why you are mum enough
0:39
see I get it wrong sometimes too quite a lot actually all right okay so I've got my little
0:44
cheat sheet here so number one the first reason why you are mum enough is there are only so many
0:51
hours in the day right and we have to do so much these days as moms you know um we're sort of like
0:57
busy trying to juggle um for some of us work you know a zillion sort of other things trying to get
1:02
the food on the table trying to get the kids to school trying to like manage like you know if we're
1:06
part of like the sandwich generation we might have elderly parents we care for as well there just so much going on plus the general hecticness and sort of um attitude of like we always need to be doing stuff in this crazy life
1:18
basically it's just enough to send any of us mad so mama give yourself a break all right you're a
1:25
mom enough okay number two is right today this is sort of following on from um sort of the last
1:33
point is that there's really no blueprint of how to be as a mum it's like everything is like
1:39
totally different to how it used to be back in the day when our mums were mums everything was
1:44
more sort of simple and now you know what does being a mum and a woman in fact these days mean
1:50
I mean it is just so convoluted and as I say so much is expected of us um you know it's basically
1:57
just uncharted territory so that is the second reason why you are mum enough all right number
2:04
three the reason why you are mum enough is as a mum and as a woman as an individual we are all the
2:11
sum of our own experiences and you know we come into this motherhood thing you know some of us
2:16
might have issues from childhood some of us might have health issues um you know many of us have sort of crazy unrealistic expectations put on us by it might be family members it might be society you know there are just so many external influences
2:31
So, mamas, give yourself a break. You are mum enough. All right, number four, the reason why you are mum enough
2:40
and I love this reason probably more than any of the other reasons, is because your children will remember you for who you are, not what you did
2:50
yeah you know like we're always trying to run around and do all this stuff make stuff do stuff
2:55
buy stuff blah blah blah it's enough to send you crazy and you know and then we also sort of you
3:01
know as well as thinking we're going to do all this stuff with our kids and spend all this quality time with our kids and blah blah blah blah you know we're also um sort of driving ourselves mad
3:09
by um you know um herring around trying to do a million other things in our lives but the thing
3:15
is right is that your children they're not going to remember any of this stuff they're just going
3:19
remember who you are they're not they're not gonna remember what you did so you
3:23
know if you made a crap cake or you know you forgot their book bag or like
3:29
whatever it doesn't matter they are gonna remember who you are not what you
3:33
did so yeah I have that reason all right the fifth and final reason is I looking at my cheat sheet here is oh yeah second best second of my favorite reasons here is mama you are enough because you
3:45
did you did what was right at the time so you know whether you breastfed or you bottle fed whether you
3:52
managed to give birth through a vaginal delivery or you had a c-section whether you stayed at home
3:57
or you went to work you know all these different choices we have so many different choices and
4:02
those are major choices on another level we have like so many tiny little choices we have to make
4:07
every day just to get through the day so you know mama do not beat yourself up you did what was right
4:13
and what was best for your family at the time and for you and for everyone concerned so just know
4:18
that all right mama so if you've been having a hard week i really hope that video has helped to
4:22
um sort of make you feel a little better just sometimes we need something to tell us you are
4:26
mum enough so I'm just going to say it one more time in this little pep talk to you mama you are
