Being a Happy Mom: Heartening Shares of Amazing Moms and Memoir of the Author is my book title. It is a memoir of my journey to being a happy mom and it also includes shares of other moms of different backgrounds and experiences.
I aim to spread the joy and happiness of being a mother no matter what challenges you may have to go through. You may be dealing with anxiety attacks as I do, broken marriages like I do, unpleasant childhood experience like I did, financial woes, problematic in-laws or parents, work-related stress, disabilities and many more other challenges you name it!
Being a woman or a parent, we sure do have different roles and different hats to play. Being a mother is one of them.
I am a proud mother of two boys Muhammad Imran Bin Muhammad Saifuddin, who is 9 years of age and Muhammad Ikram Bin Muhammad Saifuddin who is 7 years of age.
My life is not perfect. I do have my own flaws, weaknesses and temperaments. That makes me only human. Being a happy mom is not about being the perfect mom. It is also not about being what others want you to be. It is definitely not being a mom who can do it all. Being a happy mom means no matter what you have to go through in your life, no matter how shitty your experiences may be and no matter how many challenges you have to face up with; you remember one thing, that is you are happy being with your children and you realize that its worthwhile to be happy for them.
Happiness varies from one mom to another, you are the author of what makes you a happy mom. The only gauge to know that you have earned the right to being a happy mom is that your children love being around you and you are happy to be around them. Happiness is contagious. When your children know that you are happy being with them, they will be happy being around you and its the best experience any moms should have and experience.
I am not addressing mothers who are too egoistic to learn about their mistakes in raising a child. No matter how badly you think of your child, remember one thing. your children spent time growing up with you. When all you did was to nag, yell, shout and belittle them throughout their childhood life and when they grow up being adults you continue to treat them the same way, I must say good luck and have a tough one handling your children and have a good shot at being close to them. Trust me I have witnessed a few egoistic, obnoxious and abusive parents and it’s really not pleasant to be an inch close to them.
Having said that, it’s never too late to mend mother and child broken relationship. Read my book and learn as to where you can reflect on your parenting and approach with your children and slowly but surely, you will be able to mend the relationship and you will experience happiness and joy throughout your life with your children.
Warning: This book is not suitable for mothers who loves to say I know better.
