Insulation
Many women, for the first time to experience the joy of motherhood, feel as if in isolation - their world narrowed to care for the child, diapers and feedings. They need to communicate with women who find themselves in the same situation: they want to know, is it normal that happens to them, their feelings and sensations. Only comparison we can understand and appreciate our own lives.
In this case, to help friends and new acquaintances: walking with a child in the yard, you can meet other moms and find support and understanding, which can not give the husband or parents. In critical periods - namely, a period begins after birth, particularly the first - is useful in any chat groups where women can feel part of a community where it will always be able to discuss delicate or sensitive issues and get help.
At least make an effort to meet other moms and to meet you, invite new friends to visit with children. Try to find time to talk with other women who understand what it's like your life.
Lack of free time
One of the biggest problems in the non-working mothers, they do not have a lunch break, weekends and holidays. They can not get away from work in the evening and forget about all the difficulties, as if nothing had happened. Over time, the majority of non-working mothers get the feeling as if they are locked in a trap, and life is passing. All in your hands - you have to find for yourself those few hours, to include them in the daily routine, and not wait for the free time magically "appear" (how could it come from?).
Attaches dad!
For example, a few times a week you can go to yoga
Yoga - the way to preserve youth and health of skin
, Aerobics or dancing, or just go to the gym. Ask someone from relatives, husband or friend to you on time, substitute "family front" and go for a walk, to shop or beauty salon. You can also agree with her husband that every night you'll take a half-hour time-out during which you do not have for anybody. In this half-hour, you can meditate, take a relaxing bath, read a magazine or watch a favorite show - in other words, find an activity that will help relax and rejuvenate.
Also nice one night a week to do "evening the Pope," when all the household chores has been head of the household: cooking dinner (or even just setting the table), cleans the dishes, puts the kids to bed. That evening, my mother can go to meet friends or go to the movies, go shopping, or simply retire to his room with a book or needlework.
To attach a baby!
If the child is old enough and goes to school, you can arrange with a friend and replace each other once a week, for example, a Tuesday, you take away her baby, and the next she was looking after your son or daughter. It is possible that children enjoy such a scheme, because they will be able to spend more time together. In those days off you can visit the beauty salon

, Go shopping or go for a romantic date

with her own husband.
By the way, as a birthday present you can ask a loved one to order dinner at a restaurant and stay in the hotel to freshen up the relationship. In the morning, you can soak up in bed without worrying that your peace may at any time break the kids leisurely breakfast and feel like a woman rather than downtrodden housewife life. This holiday will not only raise your spirits and give cheerfulness, but also increase self-esteem and inspire confidence in the fact that everything in your power. Without a doubt, a romantic evening, smoothly flows into the least romantic morning (or even a romantic weekend) - one of the best gifts that can get the idle mom.
If you do not have time for yourself, think about what would give you pleasure. Having defined the desires and do everything to realize these desires. You will almost certainly have to seek help: a babysitter, husband, parents, friends or neighbors. But your efforts are sure to justify himself. You need it, and, therefore, your family.
The feeling of frustration and defeat
Most home affairs and concerns can be called routine. You need four hours to clean the apartment, and the child - just four minutes to make order in chaos. In the laundry and ironing out as many times, but clean linen and clothing your home is enough for a couple of days. When dinner is eaten and dishes washed, you are thinking what to prepare for tomorrow. And in the evening, when her husband and children are sleeping peacefully, you often think and ask yourself: "What I spent the whole day today, if tomorrow will have to do it all over again? "
Perhaps globally you really could not do: you will not be concluded million deal, did not make a great discovery and changed the world. But you are not running the president, the head of a large company or a scientist - you're working mom, and your work completely different requirements.
The main thing - the little things
In your "profession" the main thing - the little things: to wake the child and to collect it in the school to embrace bedtime, change diapers, prepare dinner, to be guest of honor at tea parties with her dolls and build castles in the sandbox, play hide and seek and read fairy tales to listen to stories boys and be the first witness of love .... The list is endless. This is the achievement of motherhood. They can not plan and to delete from the list. For them you will praise the boss, do not move up the career ladder and will not be offered at the end of the year award. It is difficult to assign them a price. They are priceless.
If you find it difficult to feel satisfied with your "work", think about the future. Imagine what would be eighteen years or twenty, when the result will be noticeable. The thought of the future will help you cope with many household chores, and even the most nasty stuff will find meaning and significance. When you realize this, to deal with homework will be much easier.
