Seriously now, when exactly do mothers get a chance to rest? Whether you are a full-time working mom, a stay-at-home-mom or anywhere in between, finding time to rest when you have more than one kid is practically impossible regardless whether you have help or not!

This morning (Sunday), I asked a FTWM (that is Full Time Working Mom) what she was up to and she had a full day. Whether she stayed at home or left the house, she was still doomed for selfless sacrifice, family time, time with the kids since Monday to Friday is spent at the office etc etc etc; so when-when-when does she get to have a snooze? Catch up on sleep, get some ME time, or just chill and space out? Forget it! Even as single working people, we look forward to the weekends to catch up on sleep in this rat race market so just imagine when that weekend time is snatched away from you because you now have kids?!

WOE!!!!

As for me, I only beg the Hubs to watch the kids when I’m really, really incapacitated, about to fall ill or extremely exhausted. Thus I am a perpetual zombie too but thankfully I’m not one of those who cannot function without a minimum of a full 8 hours of sleep. I am good to go with an average of 5-6 hours and on most days get 4-5 but keep challenging myself by reminders that Margaret Thatcher lived with only 4 throughout her political career. If she can do it, I can do it. Yeah………………………………..right.

Moving on. My point is, a mother’s job is never over. Never. It’s either this or that, one thing or another. Whether you are a mother who works in an office or not, one who gets paid or not, one with maids or not, a mother’s job is THE hardest job in the world – if you allow yourself to be a half decent mother. Some mother’s really don’t like being mothers and have no maternal instinct whatsoever and do cruel insane things to their kids (and I admit, I am close to that) but thankfully, they are the rare occasion. But seriously now, if you are a FTWM (and I classify that with at least a 9-5 job away from kids) I salute you because you miss your kids so much and vice versa that your entire weekend is spent making up for lost time. If you are a SAHM (a stay-at-home-mom, one who stays with kids 24-7), I salute you because your entire day is spent with kids whether they are tame or wild, and if THAT doesn’t make anyone go crazy, I don’t know what else would; because they are so wild that your blood pressure shoots to an all time high or they are so tame that life becomes unbearably boring. That goes for you Stay-At-Home-Dads too, I salute you! And if you are anything in between (working full time, part time, with or without help), I also salute you. Without help, you are essentially working two jobs – how frigging exhausting is that? And what’s even worse, if you are a freelancer and work several jobs at a go with different clients, WITHOUT help and still have to keep the kids alive!!! Now, those who do that? THEY really deserve the title of PSYCHO MOMS!!! I actually happen to know quite a few……

Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.

Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.

She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.

A beautiful life without limits.

If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.

Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.

Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
