Summer is here; that time of year that we enjoy everything almost as if we were children. Pool, beach, afternoons in the sun and cookouts. Who can resist the charms of the summer season?
If there is something that being a mother has taught me, it is that we can all change our minds and I have also learned to understand that sometimes not everything we plan is possible to achieve. Many times we think that things are already written or that they will work as we think, but when we do, we are surprised.
A few days ago we talked about the sense of guilt that immediately creeps into our emotional backpack after we become mothers. I really don't know a mother who hasn't ever felt guilty about something she has done or said to her children, or even because of the way they behave.

Oh, the pregnancy! How many contradictory feelings it provokes !: Yes "it is a wonderful stage and I want it to last forever", yes "I look great", yes "I can't take it anymore!", Yes "I want my baby to be born now, but at the same time I don't want to "... How curious, right ?!
It's time for the baby's bath and the house is upside down. You have to do a thousand things and your partner has told you that he takes care of the bathtub moment while you make dinner. It sounds good to you, so you get to work ... but at a time when you go to the bathroom to see how everything is going, you find that it is already taking it out, but you notice some fluff peeking out from the fold of its small neck. You silently grumble and say, "Let me finish it," as you settle in to bathe him again. If this scene sounds familiar to you, you may be one of those mothers who find it difficult to delegate, and who in the long run, can be overcome by the inequality in the distribution of tasks.
