Mom Burnout: Why a Bubble Bath and Coffee with Friends Won't Help
25.03.2024 05:10
Motherhood requires patience and tremendous effort from every woman.
Has anyone thought about why modern mothers are increasingly burning out, and why conventional relaxation methods don’t help at all?
This issue is worth looking into in more detail, as there are several interesting features.
Why a bubble bath or meeting a friend is a temporary solution
At first glance, it seems that a bubble bath or a cup of aromatic coffee with friends can give mothers the necessary rest and emotional support.
However, this is only a temporary relief and does not solve the root problems underlying emotional burnout.
Inflated ideals
The idealization of motherhood in modern society creates the expectation of constant joy and happiness in mothers.
But in reality, motherhood is an endless stream of responsibility, anxiety and care. Constant exhaustion of emotions and energy becomes the norm, not the exception.
Isolation and loneliness
Many mothers feel isolated in their problems. They are afraid to admit their stress for fear of being judged as bad parents.
In such conditions, even friendly get-togethers cease to bring relief, since they do not solve the problem of social isolation.
Many sources of stress
The increasing demands on modern mothers, whether it be work, housework or childcare, are becoming sources of continuous stress.
The constant lack of time and resources increases emotional tension, making everyday stressors more and more difficult.
Self-sacrifice
Mothers often put their own needs second, prioritizing the needs of the family.
This leads to depletion of emotional resources and exacerbates feelings of helplessness and burnout.
What is the solution?
It is necessary to understand that there are no ideals in raising children. Every mother has only one option - to find harmony with herself and do everything she likes.
These things may seem basic, but they are key. Society will never help you become the perfect mom, it will only create unnecessary burden.
Previously, we talked about how to deal with accumulated negativity and what effective methods exist for this.
