A Mother's Struggle

As a mother, I take pride in what I can do and what I can provide for my children. I think that's the nature of motherhood. While this may not seem like an easy job to do, every morning I wake up energized and ready for what's to come for the day. I find joy and satisfaction in being able to support my children and help them grow into good people. I try to set a good example and show them the right way to do things. I take great pride in the work I do as a mother and I don't want that to happen any other way.

For a few weeks, my children were with their grandparents and that gave me enough time to myself. Even when I visit them, they always refuse to follow me home because they pamper them too much, it must be their job, so I give them time so I can do other things for me. As a mother and I am also trying to establish a better relationship with my husband.

On Friday, as I was getting ready for school, I got a call from my sister who called me to tell me that my five-year-old son had jumped on his sister's leg and sprained his ankle. there. I come with my parents. where they treated her right though i was so scared for her because her legs could not move i had to punish my son and sternly warned him not to play rough with her her sister and she were only two years old and since I couldn't stay to watch her because I had to go to school for an important lesson, I went home and dressed for school.

Now this is the main point of this post beyond studying and giving my son a nap in his spare time. What else can I do to keep him busy and prevent him from playing rough? Lately, he's been into acrobatics, acrobatics and the like that's one thing, I'm always scared when he does that. I've even tried to make sure he doesn't leave the house to play, but every time I go out, it's like being taken away. It's something that I'm very sad about and I'm trying to ease it.

As a mom I take pride in the things I am able to do and those things in which I am able to provide for my kids. I feel that is the essence of being a mother. Though it always seems like it isn't an easy job to do, every morning I wake up with full energy and get ready for what comes for the day. I find joy and fulfillment in being able to provide for my kids and help them grow into good people. I try to set a good example and show them the right way of doing things. I take great pride in the job I do as a mom and wouldn't have it any other way.

For a few weeks now my kids have been at their grandparents' place and this has given me enough time to myself. Even when I went to see them they always refused to follow me back home because their grandparent do over pamper them, well that's surely a job for the grandparents, so I had been taking the time they have given me to do other things for myself as a mom and also trying to build up a better relationship with my husband.

On Friday while I was preparing to go to school, I got a call from my elder sister, who had called to tell me that my five year old son had jumped on his sisters leg and had dislocated her ankle, before I got to my parents place, they had given her the right treatment , though I was scared for her as she couldn't move with the leg, I had to punish my son and give him a stern warning of ever playing rough with his little sister and she is just two years old and because I couldn't stay back and watch her because I had to be in school for an important lecture, so I went back home and got dressed for school.

Now here is the main point of this post, aside from studying and making my son take naps when he's free. What else can I do to keep him occupied and stop him from playing rough? It's been a thing for him recently to be engaging in flips, somersaults, and the rest, I am always scared when he does this. I even tried to always make sure he doesn't step out of the house to play, but whenever he does have the opportunity to step out of the house he plays as if he has been deprived of it. This is something that I am so sad about and I am looking for ways to calm him down.

Now because of this play, he has injured his sister and she can't go to summer school in her present state and this, all the same, makes me feel so sad, maybe that was the why I had headaches throughout yesterday because I was thinking about my daughters well being, I had to rush home to see how she was. I was relieved to see that she was okay but I was still very worried about her future and the effect of this injury on her. I felt helpless and frustrated that I couldn't do anything to help her. I just had to hope that she would be able to recover quickly.

What do you parents advise I do?
