I once raised a child by myself until I was three years old, and I know the hardships. But I am puzzled to see how easy it is for foreign mothers to take care of several babies alone on TV or parenting programs. They are also women. How did they do it? What's the mystery? After understanding the reasons, I found that some of their practices were really beyond our Chinese mothers' learning.
Foreigners make good use of high-tech supplies
Foreign treasure moms make good use of high technology, such as sweepers, mopping robots and dishwashers in the kitchen. Even all kinds of articles specially for babies can be fully automatic. Food supplement machine, baby washing machine, baby fitness rack, game fence, etc. It has greatly liberated the energy of treasure mothers in housework and parenting. Even super labor-saving diapers are imported from abroad to China.
Some people may say that they are rich, and rich people don't know how to buy good things. But how much are the baby dining chairs and plastic bibs worth? In the final analysis, we think differently. Many people think that a mother's job is to take care of her children. Why buy so many things that burn money? Are you lazy? Some treasure moms don't even know that there are so many "cutting-edge" baby-holding weapons, let alone buy them.
Foreigners have a big heart and a wide range of children.
I have to say that foreign mothers bring a group of babies by themselves, and they also rely on their extensive parenting methods. When the baby is born, he sleeps alone in a room, and parents only install cameras in the room to check at any time; When the baby is over one year old, give a bowl of spoons and eat as much as you can. If you don't want to eat, you will be hungry. Spend hours making complementary food for the baby. There is no such thing. Some foreign mothers even buy baby food supplements in bags, and they can open several bags to feed them every day. Are Chinese mothers willing to do such extensive parenting? Can't learn.
In China, it is common for parents to rack their brains to coax their babies to eat, even at the expense of chasing after them. In order to make healthy and delicious complementary food for the baby, another treasure mother should strive for perfection from material selection, cleaning and practice. A complementary food takes nearly an hour ... This meticulous parenting method is not tiring for you.
Foreigners live alone and the children take care of themselves. No need to educate each other, get along with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, not tired.
Many people envy the calm attitude of foreign mothers when they go out to take care of their babies. On the other hand, many mothers in China are tired and haggard. You know, raising a baby is not only physically tired, but also mentally tired. The biggest difference between foreign countries and domestic countries is that foreign mothers are fighting alone. Although they work hard, but "my baby is my master", how to raise me is all I can do, and no one is making irresponsible remarks.
Domestic mothers are different. Many of them were brought by the older generation to help. The living habits of the two generations are different, and the concept of parenting is also different. Coupled with the subtle relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, these three kinds of mental pressures make people feel very tired.
Want to learn from foreign mothers? First of all, your family must spare no effort to support you as a full-time mother. Secondly, people around you will not point at you because you are "idle" at home. These are difficult to achieve in China. This is one of the reasons why we can't learn from foreign mothers.
