My mother has taken a break for the summer

Being a mother is a very challenging role. It is full of responsibilities. It's very difficult and stressful to be a mom yet very rewarding. Since you are now alone with your son, I guess it's time for you to take the role as a real mom. Why let your mom do the responsibility that you should be carrying? She has done enough for you since birth, right? So now that your mom had a break for herself, grab the chance to do things on your own. You can start with just one thing at a time. If you want,jot down the things you need to do for tomorrow and the next coming days. Example, if you wake up what will be the first thing you need to do for you and your son? Prepare breakfast, wash the dishes, doing the laundry etc or look for necessary things that you need to do. At the end of the day, look at your list and see the things you've done. Give a tap on your shoulder for doing the things that you don't usually do. Reward your self with a good dinner and a good night sleep. The following day, do the same thing, plan the things you want to accomplish through out the day. I'm sure you will end up tired but you will notice that behind a tiring day, you know you did a great job. Surprise your mom!
