Moms are superheroes. Moms trying to be perfect for their kids, and do everything they possibly can to make kids happy. But does it really helps?

I am a mom, and after 6 months of parenting, I became a lazy mom. And I am happy about it.

If after these words you began to imagine a disaster that is going on in my family since then, it is not that bad. Actually, it is the opposite - everything works well. I'll explain.

When mom is happy, the husband and kids are happy too.

When mom is happy? When she doesn't feel a huge pressure of her own image of a perfect mom, who has to do everything and even more. When my daughter was 4-months-old, we moved her crib to the separate room, and I started to feel like a human again and slept well. When she was 6-months-old, she started to eat real food, and later I gave her a spoon, and she learned to eat without help. When at 9 months she started to walk, I didn't have panic attacks when she fell because that's how she learns.

At 2 years she could open a fridge and pour milk into the glass with no spills, she also used potty every time she needed, without my help. She learned how to dress, and for more than a year, I don't have to come every morning to her room to dress her for school.

It was difficult to let her be so independent, but I had to do it because I care about her future. When we don't overprotect our kids, they only contribute from it, they become stronger mentally and physically. Of course, I pay attention to her all the time, and for example, I will make sure that she wears warm clothes in winter, but I do it the way she won't even notice. I let her explore the world, trust herself, and learn that she can do everything. And she knows that she is loved, this is the main foundation for her.

Moms, stop being perfect, and just trust your kids more, let them be your superheroes!
