Motherhood changes you in every aspect of your life. If you’re a mom, no day is exactly the same as the other. There are countless discoveries every hour, every day, and every year.
There are days you’ll realize that your patience can stretch beyond miles because your toddler wouldn’t stop asking questions. In some days, you’ll learn that you can mimic the sounds of different animals just to hear your kid laugh. There are days that you’ll discover how strong you are for carrying your child who has been crying for hours.
Motherhood will also make you question many things. There are days you’ll keep on asking yourself “Am I doing things right?”, “Am I enough?”, “Am I providing my kids with what they need?”, “What will my mother do in this situation?”, “Do I need help?“, “Is it okay to ask for help?”
Through a special Mother’s Day video, PLDT Home sends a warm reminder that moms don’t need to carry the world on their shoulders alone. Fittingly titled “Backstage Moms”, the short film emphasizes how a support system is important for mothers like Jaclyn who want nothing but the best for their children.
In front of their kids, moms always put on a strong act. In downtimes or during “backstage” moments, that’s when mothers need others to rely on.
Being part of a community that understands the beauty of motherhood while at the same time encourages you to try things beyond motherhood has been a great help for me. My years as part of Madiskarte Moms, PLDT Home’s community of empowered mothers seeking to strive in self-improvement while prioritizing family time, made me realize further how rewarding and fulfilling motherhood can be.
Knowing that I belong in a group that understands my struggles with empathy has unexpectedly become a source of strength for me as I navigate through motherhood. Just like Jaclyn, when things start to feel overwhelming, I now know that I can just take a deep breath and tell myself, “It’s okay to ask for help.“
