“MUMPRENEUR”
In other words, “Mom” by day and entrepreneur by night, or the opposite… and, in reality, very often both at the same time! Highly claimed and valued on the networks by many women, we must admit, this status is a lifestyle choice which sometimes offers funny life scenes. Some even become recurring and deserve to be shared as you might think you're in a film! For the pleasure of confiding it to you (and getting your feedback), I'll start with the first situation that comes to mind and that I experienced, once again, last night: THE TELEPHONE CALL (PRO) WHO FALL BAD.
A minimalist and stylish atmosphere for a pretty child's bedroom decoration.
THE CONTEXT
In the middle of the "rush" at the end of the day, the famous time slot where we count down the minutes while leading, drumbeat, the organization of the meal , bath, quarter of an hour “cuddle”, quarter of an hour of “decompression” (I leave you free to imagine what these endless 15 minutes might look like) and finally bed. This oppressive but effective countdown whose objective is to reach a decent time for your cherub to find the arms of Morpheus. At this very moment, in the back of your mind, there remains a PRIMORDIAL unresolved professional question that a phone call could put an end to. But now, after hours of waiting, it's right at the time of mom's classic “rush” that your “savior contact” decides to call you. Impossible to procrastinate, you have no choice but to give up. But then, how can you be fully available and, above all, credible, when your little monster is at your feet, screaming for “he-doesn’t-know-what-himself”?!
THE “PURSUIT” SOLUTION
To begin with, we isolate ourselves in the next room with the hope that your little one has forgotten that this other room exists... with you in it... Finally found (quite quickly), you try a little food diversion then you run off to hide. (yes! yes!) in the only alcove in the house (even if it is in the bathroom!). Definitely discovered by your stubborn little explorer, you adopt the ultimate “walk-quickly-throughout-the-house” strategy until the call is over. So I'll let you imagine the scene. The game consists of losing your child (just writing it, I find it appalling...worthy of an unworthy mother!). You put yourself in your mental bubble, focused on your conversation and you start walking quickly, forming a circuit strewn with pitfalls, throughout the house. Behind you, a little crying face who gets caught up in the game of getting around obstacles, only to end up laughing out loud! By doing well*, we obtain the appropriate answer to the question that tickled us and we find ourselves happy again... bordering on disappointment at seeing this game end!
I remain amazed by our creative resources for handling these situations. Our spontaneous inspirations often come from our childhood... Many others come to mind, but before that I would be delighted to know yours!!
