INSIDE THE MIND OF A WOMAN GOING THROUGH MOTHERHOOD

Way before I got married, an older friend shared with me how she was burnt out from taking care of her child and husband, and she was literally going crazy. Despite the fact that they worked in the same organization and her role was more demanding, she was doing everything alone: school runs, chores, church activities, and even submitting most of her salary, and sometimes all of it, to him.

She was tired but didn’t want to leave because she was scared of being a single mom, just like her own mother. Do you know the advice I gave her? I told her to pretend to be sick for three days and go to the hospital; she should tell the doctor that she was burnt out and ask him to place her on admission so she could rest.

In my defense, I read the solution in a book on marriage and all. She told me it wouldn't work because she was scared her daughter would experience serious neglect in those three days, and she would still have to come back to the chores piled up for her to do.
I didn’t say anything again because I felt she wasn’t ready to take a break and was kind of giving me excuses out of fear and she wasn’t tough enough to put herself first. I sympathized with her and left it at that. 

Hmmm, anytime I think about that conversation now that I am a mom, I am embarrassed at the level of emotional immaturity I showed.
I know what it means to be tired and burnt out from taking care of others and the home. Now that I can relate to being a mom, I can’t imagine leaving my child or children with someone who I know is extremely neglectful and incompetent for three days I would be so worried that I doubt I would have been able to rest.

Now I can understand the sheer amount of chores she would be coming back to.
How would she have paid for the cost of the bed rest, given her strained finances and all? I can understand the emotional neglect and abuse she was going through from a different perspective now.
If I could go back in time, what I would have done to help was either offer to watch the child in my place while she got a break for a few hours, or watch the child in her place while she napped or got some chores done, or even join her once in a while to help with the chores, or pay for someone to do periodic deep cleaning for her.
Also, I would have personally invited her to the group hangouts we always had back then. Her husband was always at the hangouts. I thought she knew about them but didn’t want to come because of the stress of tagging along with a child at a child-free event since they were the only married couple in the group, we could have made the hangouts more inclusive. It turned out he never told her about the hangouts (this was way before WhatsApp and social media).

If anyone feels burnt out, please discuss with your spouse so that he can take over briefly ooooooooooooooooh....Go out with friends and hang out, it does a lot of good...sleep more and find your me time.....

This advice is always given easily when one has not worn the shoe that pinches.....

TEACHER LIFE

My brethren, what a stressful day I had.
After lunch time, one of the boys in my class was crouched under his table, searching like his life depended on it.
I had already told everyone to pack up and clear their tables.
So I asked, “What are you looking for?”
He said, very seriously, “My flask's inner cover.”

Ah.
I joined him. Teacher mode activated.
We searched under the table.
Inside his bag.
Inside everybody’s bag.
Corners of the class.
Bins. Shelves.
Nothing.
Now, the issue was… he was the one who opened his flask. So I couldn’t confidently say whether there was an inner cover or not.
But this boy? Crying. Insisting.
“It was there, Miss C! I saw it!”
At that point, it was no longer a simple search.
I went to other classes.
“Please, have you seen a flask cover?”
“Check your class, abeg.”
Even though I knew this child never left my class.
Still, we searched.
Nothing
Eventually, I had to calm him down and say,
“Don’t worry, I will call your mummy and explain.”
Meanwhile, in my head:
Explain what exactly?? That your child came with a flask and we misplaced the inner cover?
I got home, still thinking about it.
Not long after, my phone rang.
His mum.
I picked up, already preparing my speech.
“Good evening Miss C…”
She said, “Sorry for stressing you. My son told me you people went round different classes looking for his flask inner cover.”
I said, “Yes ma’am…”
Then she said:
“Don’t worry. He lost it at his grandma’s house during the holidays.”
…
I paused.
“So… he didn’t come to school with it?”
She said, “Yes.”
Chai.
All that searching.
All that stress.
All that investigation across classes.
For something that did not enter the school gate
Honestly, these children ehn…

Heheheheheheheheheh and he was crying?Kids eeeeeeh

NOTORIOUS FOR JESUS

I remember this unique story o.. when I was small. My mum brought out some trash and she wanted to burn it. My siblings and I were very stubborn. The kind of stubbornness that was hard to see in any child.
Don't go there, that's exactly where we will go. So she dropped the trash outside and lit fire with strict instructions requesting that we steer clear.

Immediately she stood up and went inside. We headed for that fire place. We started putting different objects in it. We each had a stick and we were thrusting in the fire..
Suddenly I felt a sharp pain at the back of my hands and I screamed so loud.
My sister had used her own stick to pick a melted rubber which landed on my hands when she wanted to withdraw the stick.

Omo! I cried my eyes out, I was screaming and wailing. It was my first experience with a minor accident involving fire.
Well, my mum came out, but instead of her to pet me, or beg me, or put some healing balm or beat my sister. She pounced on my sister and I like a pestle against mortar, and flogged the living day out of us.
When you hear a double portion of premium tears, Na me know wetin e be. I was crying from the pain of the wound, similarly, crying from the beating of my mother.
Haaa!
I didn't forget in a hurry even till today sef. My mum, "Iya Daadaa". One small slap laidis, and your eyes will turn. You will tumble on the floor eh! God rest her soul.
Till date, I still have that scar, and whenever I looked at the back of my hand, I knew it was a consequence of disobedience.
Till tomorrow eh, I hate melted rubber like kilode.
That scar on your body, do you still remember how do you take get am?

Mine was blade cut from disobedience.....Nobody needed to beat me...when i saw the bloood,nobody could stop my crying............The cane waiting to fog me even got tired of waiting and petted me..lol

WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO A MAN CANNOT DO

A married woman has spent the past week in the hospital. Her husband has lost so much weight in that one week, people assumed he was the one who wasn't fine coz of the visible shaking and s+ruggling.
What he doesn't know is that she isn't sick at all.

Only the doctors, the nurses, and a few trusted friends know the truth, she checked herself in because she needed to rest, not from an illness but from her life, relentless, invisible, never-ending labour of running a home that her husband never once picked up a corner of.
Since they married, the man could not pick up a spoon without it being an event. She cooked, cleaned, managed the children, managed the house, managed everything while his entire contribution was the school run. Drop off. Pick up. Done!
One week without her and he couldn't even manage that. He packed the children off to his sister's.
The same home she ran alone, every single day, c%llapsed in seven days without her, and he is the one losing weight.

THE LESSON:
When a woman's only option for rest is pretending to be ill, then something in that marriage has already br%ken down. A home should never be one person's entire burden. If your partner disappeared for a week and everything fell apart, that is not love, that is dependency dressed up as a household. Notice what your partner carries. Before exhaustion makes the decision for both of you.
