I went to my son's school last week to talk to their guidance counselor and principal about my son's minor violation. So I faced the school administrators with a ready heart and an open mind. We had to give consequences even if it hurts me to see my son suffer. That same week, my grade-schooler told me about a persistent bullying that a classmate's been doing to him. Whenever he shares these things, I really stop whatever I'm doing and intently listen and draw out more from him by asking the right questions. It pains me as a mom that he had to experience this almost on a daily basis. The night before I was crying in prayer asking Him why I had to go through this challenge, when I've already devoted to become a SAHM to focus on and be more present for my children. I felt like a failure. But I was reminded that there are some things I cannot control.
The things we do as a mama right? Motherhood is not always butterflies and rainbows, it's also many days of sad, painful, and exhausting experiences. But as a mom, we cannot just give up. We've gotta be tough mama and learn how to cope with this. I cope by praying and cooking and eating or going to the salon or meet friends for coffee.
A TOUGH MAMA EXPERIENCE
By the way, I've been a Tough Mama user since they launched five years ago. The appliances they had my try before which are the 2-in-1 hair iron and curler, bread toaster, and rice cooker are still working efficiently to this day. I was surprised to see their expanded range of their appliances display that afternoon and thought to myself - I want them all! Look at some of these which caught my attention:
First activity was a live cooking demo done by Chef Jam Melchor whose demo made me want to take home 8-in-1 Multicooker, Commercial Blender, and Infrared Induction Cooker. He taught everyone how to prepare a Crab and Native Corn soup using the Tough Mama power blender efficiently. He also cooked Beef Stew using the 8-in-1 Multicooker over the induction cooker. By this time, the whole venue was smelling really good and it made me forget everything else including my name. Haha! Last, in the same multicooker, he cooked Porkchop BBQ! The Multicooker by the way is made of non-stick material which makes it really easy to clean and make cooking healthier without the need of putting too much oil!
