The work of mothers is admirable, that is indisputable, however many mothers question themselves for reacting inappropriately with their children due to exhaustion due to the different responsibilities they have to attend to daily.

Esto es totalmente errado, como todo ser humano tenemos limites, nos agotamos fisicamente e inclusive reaccionamos de una forma que no queremos debido a la presión o el estrés al que estamos sometidas.
Sin embargo, esto no es nada nuevo, el detalle es que asi como ha avanzado la civilización en muchos aspectos, tamben hemos avanzado en el control y manejo de nuestros sentimientos, reacciones y respuestas en determinados momentos.
Recuerdo cuando tuve a mi hija que mas de una vez debido a lo sobrecargada que estaba de responsabilidades , muchas veces reaccioné erradamente con ella y de inmediato me sobrevenía una frustración tan grande que me sentía como la peor madre del mundo.
Estos sentimientos de remordimiento y culpa,nos abordan cuando interiormente pensamos que estamos actuando mal con nuestros hijos y que ellos no son culpable, es entonces donde debemos ser capaces de colocar freno y pedir auxilio antes de colapsar como seres humanos.
Mothers are mostly seen by their children as superheroes and even as beings incapable of getting tired.
This is totally wrong, like every human being we have limits, we exhaust ourselves physically and even react in a way that we do not want due to the pressure or stress to which we are subjected.
However, this is nothing new, the detail is that just as civilization has advanced in many aspects, we have also advanced in the control and management of our feelings, reactions and responses at certain times.
I remember when I had my daughter that more than once, due to how overloaded I was with responsibilities, many times I reacted wrongly with her and immediately I was overwhelmed by such great frustration that I felt like the worst mother in the world.
These feelings of remorse and guilt come to us when we internally think that we are acting badly with our children and that they are not to blame, it is then that we must be able to put the brakes on and ask for help before collapsing as human beings.
Asi mismo, se sugiere salir y tomar aire fresco, disfrutar de la naturaleza o de cualquier otra distracción de nuestra preferencia, lo ideal es hacerlo solas, pero sino podemos busquemos el momento adecuado para hacerlo inclusive con nuestros hijos.
Disfrutar de un atardecer es una sensación que para muchas madres puede ser reconfortante y reactivador, por simple que parezca; esto lo podemos hacer inclusive con nuestros bebes mientras ellos duermen a nuestro lado en un coche o en nuestros brazos.
Es importante resaltar que nosotras como madres podemos colapsar por el agotamiento fisico, pero debemos tener la capacidad de alertarnos nostras mismas antes de que esto sucesa y buscar la forma de obtener un espacio para nostras mismas que nos permita esa recarga tan necesaria.
Asking for help from our husbands or a close relative is certainly an alternative, in case of not having their support, other options are recommended such as hiring a person for a certain time to take a break at the right time before falling into a collapse.
Likewise, it is suggested to go out and get fresh air, enjoy nature or any other distraction of our choice, the ideal is to do it alone, but if we cannot, we look for the right time to do it even with our children.
Enjoying a sunset is a feeling that for many mothers can be comforting and reactivating, as simple as it may seem; We can do this even with our babies while they sleep next to us in a car or in our arms.
It is important to highlight that we as mothers can collapse due to physical exhaustion, but we must have the ability to alert ourselves before this happens and find a way to obtain a space for ourselves that allows us that much-needed recharge.
Esto puede suceder y no debemos sentirmos frustradas sino mas bien buscar la manera de prevenir llegar a ese estado de agotamiento extremo asi como buscar alternativas para evitar ese colapso.
One of the main objectives of this publication is to share with all those mothers who at some point have felt frustrated or annoyed with themselves for acting inappropriately as a result of exhaustion.
This can happen and we should not feel frustrated but rather seek the way to prevent reaching that state of extreme exhaustion as well as looking for alternatives to avoid that collapse.
