Parenting In A Pandemic

We’re a little over a month indoors, and let’s face it, we’re all counting down days till we can breathe some fresh air again! As a mum, trying to coax your determined tot to stay at home when she would dart to the garden at the slightest chance given, only adds to your list of lockdown conundrums. Keeping her engaged constantly is at the top of your list of worries, besides dealing with the constant questions she throws at you. If you’re mum to a newborn, convincing yourself that you have enough baby essentials to get by is now an achievement!

Brave mamas, you’re not alone! Even though your anxiety may be at its peak, it’s important to remember that we’re all in this together. And to tell you just how, M&B got mums to share their unfiltered experience of parenting through the COVID-19….

Everything considered, I think the situation has pushed and changed me towards a person I wanted to be. This time is inherently bringing personal development. I have never felt this strongly about gratitude, patience, kindness and healthcare. I have now realised the meaning of “Life is what you make it”. We are so dependent on unnecessary things in our lives and mostly, it’s just a façade built up in our mind. Happiness and satisfaction lie within you and around your loved ones.
