Being a mother and obviously a woman, or in other words, do we still know how to be women after being mothers?

What does motherhood mean?

Sacrificing yourself for your child’s well-being or finding the time and growing with your child.

It is true that priorities change when the child appears in the couple’s life and that in the first years of the child’s life the child is dependent on the mother’s presence.

In a traditional society mothers are mothers and that’s all, but do they also lose their femininity?

The world has evolved, women are beginning to understand that it is all a question of negotiating and balancing these two identities.

It’s up to you as a woman to understand that at home you don’t have to be just a mother, and that in the family being a woman is not just about being a mother.

Every day we fulfil different roles: mother, partner, sister, wife, career woman, etc.

All women want a balance between these roles.

If more interest is devoted to one of them, imbalance automatically arises. It’s all about perception and expectations.

Often, the desires and expectations of each woman conflict with the expectations or perceptions of others about how they should divide their time or what they should do.

If they choose to live as others expect them to, they are in fact living someone else’s lives, not their own.

Women have the right to choose what suits them, assuming the opinions and criticisms that may arise.

Who is Mother?

Mother is a role model for children, she is their friend and confidante, she is the holder of the most complex role in children’s lives.

Who is the Woman?

Woman is you, beautiful, feminine, intelligent, seductive, dynamic and confident in your strengths.
