On May 3, Hangzhou doctor Zhai Lingyun shared a story about her mother.
A mother in her 70s has advanced ovarian cancer and has a daughter in her 40s who has polio. In order to help her daughter do rehabilitation training, the mother and her daughter do beading handicrafts together, and the works are very exquisite, and she gave some of the handicrafts to Zhai Lingyun.
Because of this, Dr. Zhai knew the story behind the beads.
What is Mom?
After the hourly news launched the discussion of this topic, a reader sent us a post titled "Record Yourself as Superman".
At first glance, the title also thought it was a science fiction post, but if you look closely, it turned out to be a mother's daily record.
This is a two-child dual-career family, Dabao is in the third grade of primary school, and Xiaobao kindergarten is in small classes. Mom's day begins with waking up at 6:30 a.m. every morning and doesn't have her own time until 10:50 p.m.
The mother made a detailed schedule for each day, and even if there were elderly people helping at home, they were constantly busy.
After reading the schedule, many netizens said that this mother definitely deserves the title of "Superman". There are also many mothers who jump out to express their agreement: "The truth in the world!" ”
The mother of two children, which one is not Superman
In fact, many women, after becoming mothers, whether they are first or second children, give the rest of their time to their children in addition to working hours.
Although the hourly news reporter did not contact the "superhuman mother" who posted, there are also many second-child mothers around.
They felt the same feeling and sincerely lamented: time belongs to children.
Ms. Fang, should be a relatively lucky person, because the four elderly people on both sides are helping her with the child, and the two elderly people are managing a baby, she said that she is indeed much easier than the average two-child family.
Her eldest daughter is 11 years old and very independent, so the couple is very worry-free, and the usual school pick-up and drop-off is managed by the elderly. The youngest son is 3 years old and has not yet attended kindergarten.
Because of the need to work during the day, usually after 7 p.m., Fang's mother began to take over the management of the two children.
"Mainly to accompany the younger son, either to go downstairs to go around, or to play with toys at home, watch cartoons, for the eldest daughter, more is supervision, belongs to the free-range type." Fang's mother told reporters that at 9 p.m., she began to help the children make preparations before going to sleep, and she would not lie flat until 10:30 p.m. "Autumn and winter are times when I feel particularly tired. Because my son is particularly susceptible to illness, he will be more noisy, and he will often run to the hospital, and sometimes he really feels that he is going to crack. ”
Yu's mother is a relatively Buddhist person, but she still feels powerless in raising children.
Her eldest son is 8 years old, her youngest son is 4 years old, and her in-laws are professional with babies. She doesn't have to cook or wash her clothes, but the children still have a lot of chores.
Every morning at 7:30 a.m., she turns around like a top, waiting until it's past 7 p.m. after work, and the rest of the time is for the children. The younger son has to follow the physical examination and injection; the eldest son practices the piano and punches the clock, and he has to watch..." Let the old man manage during the day, they have been very hard. At night we were left alone. If there is a powerful dad, it is a particularly happy thing for the mom. But the dad who doesn't drop the chain is a bit less. Yu's mother said that before going to the night shift, she gave the eldest son's homework to the child's father one by one, but the father still missed, "I came home from work in the middle of the night, I could only help complete." Do you understand the feeling of that mindset exploding? I would hate to pull up the pig teammates on the bed and beat them up..."
"My son's classmates, many mothers are full-time, if you go to work, a lot of things can not be taken into account, can only give up some things." 」 Yu Mom said.
Mother's hardship, where is only the "second child mother" unique?
Mother Wang only has one baby, but she is tired and irritable every day.
"My 3-year-old son sleeps with me every day, so my biological clock follows him. He woke up at five or six o'clock in the morning, and I also woke up with him, telling stories and entertaining him. Mother Wang said that she "forcibly opened her business" without opening her eyes. Dad would be in charge of breakfast, which was a good habit, "but that's all Dad can do." ”
The son was sent to the nursery during the day, and the transfer was taken care of by the elderly. Both parents take turns caring for their son every two weeks.
Therefore, during the day, Mother Wang will be more relaxed than the other two second-child mothers.
After work, Mother Wang will pick up the child from the old man's home and accompany her until before going to sleep. Because children at this age are more naughty and often "demolish the house", she has to take care of them non-stop. Laundry and cleaning work can only be done in time.
What is Dad doing at this time?
"My husband also has a lot of things, generally come home late, when he gets home to play with his son for a while, he lies on the sofa and brushes his mobile phone." I think he needs to rest too, and for the sake of family harmony, I can't always direct him to do this and that. "Mother Wang said that it was really too difficult, so she did not have the courage to have a second child.
On May 8th, Mother's Day is coming, and I salute every busy mom.
