Happy Christmas from The Motherkind Café! In this episode the four Motherkind Café coordinators Emily Malden, Katherine Crawford, Kats Handel and Julia Pidgeon talk about all the extra pressures on mums at Christmas, and how we all manage those responsibilities for our family.
Join us on a meandering, wine-accompanied conversation through how we each create ‘the magic of Christmas’ for our often underwhelmed children, and how Kats skilfully used a detached retina this year as a way to convince her partner to share the mental load of Christmas with her. Emily discusses what the mental load is like as a single parent, and Jules shares with us how is she is coping with her first Christmas as a single parent away from her son.
We hope you are managing to enjoy yourself this Christmas, and please remember, if it doesn’t feel like you hoped it would, it’s just one day… Look after yourself, and reach out if you need help.
