Nanny to Mommy

If you can't relate to this title, then we know you're lying. You probably establish that you were going to need a helping hand from the moment you have birth. In those few weeks of having a newborn, you realize what having a baby is actually like. They only grow to depend on you more, so the stresses of being a mom can actually make the job really hard. And a job is exactly what it can be described as. You're working around the clock to care for your little human, and you're not getting paid for it! But there will never be a job on this planet that us moms love to do more, it's just that sometimes we need a bit of a helping hand. Whilst some of you might be fortunate to still be with your partner and have good family around you, some reading this will be doing the single mom dance. For those who are, that need of a helping hand will definitely be stronger. So, we're going to show you the ways that you can access that helping hand, without feeling like you're relying on others too much.

The first idea that we have is to get a nanny. Having a nanny is great, it's like a little bit of respite for you in the day! People often hire a nanny if they're going out for the day or the evening, and we think it's such a good idea if you feel like you can't do anything at the minute because of your children. You can learn all about household staff taxes so you know that you're paying them properly. All you need to do is find a nanny that you're going to be able to trust and build a rapport with. If you're going to be using them often, you need to make sure that they not only get on with your children, but they get on with you too!

This is another simple on if you feel like you need some help. Parents tend to put their children in nursery for a day or two a week. This is either because they feel like they're a bad parent for sending them in more, or that the prices are too high. But the more they're in the nursery, the more you can work to pay to keep them in there. They learn so much from being around other children from a young age, not only social skills but education as well. It's far better for them than being at home watching TV or going out with you for the day!

If you are lucky enough to have a partner, you simply need to be able to rely on them more. Moms often take the reigns because they feel like they can do it better, then the dads get blamed for not doing as much to help! So for those of you with a partner, simply let them do more! Tell them that you need the support.
