Our experiences

The other day I visited a friend who had just been a mother for the second time. With her baby everything was going perfectly, but she told me that she was very hurt by the comments she was receiving from the people around her regarding her eldest son. Unfortunately, many of the things I confessed were familiar to me, and I bet they are also for a large number of parents in the same situation.

Today we close the month of July and from tomorrow the holidays begin for many families. People greet each other with more joy and talk about their vacation destination. But as not everyone likes Christmas, not everyone is happy in the summer. And you have to respect it. In my case, for example, when the heat comes I cannot help remembering that year in which my husband, the father of my children, my friend and partner died.

The day I noticed the tenderness with which my father looked at me was the day I knew that I would also like to have children. That I also wanted to look like this. What I did not have - nor do I have - anything clear, is whether that look was going to rest on several small children or on one. But since that was a problem for my future self, and my wife had the same doubts as me, we started at the beginning, that is, by having the first one and "then we'll see."

Surely we all remember some of the phrases that our mothers or fathers told us as children, and that we hated.

One of the things I like most about children is their capacity to be amazed and see beauty in all things. Unfortunately, over time we end up losing that beautiful and pure quality, but it is beautiful to see them admire everything around them through their innocent gaze. Among its many "manias" there is one that makes me especially funny and that is when they share with me that incredible object they just found, or they give me something and ask me to "keep it forever and ever."

When we begin to form our own family by joining with a partner and start having children, surely we all expect or think that we will always be together. But sometimes things don't turn out that way and those relationships end in a separation or divorce. As a woman and mother who has been through this experience, today I want to dedicate a few words of support to divorced mothers, so they know they are not alone and things will get better.

It is no topic: the arrival of a child changes everything. It changes even our way of seeing the world, and thanks to them we begin to appreciate endless details that previously went unnoticed before our eyes. Today I would like to share with you what are the things that before being a mother I did not appreciate with the same intensity with which I do it now.
