Today’s world is rife with multi-tasking and competing demands for our attention. Parents often feel stressed, rushed and pressed for time, especially when both Mom and Dad work long hours at the same time juggling family commitments. Home life is also constantly evolving. In the Philippines, multiple generations living under one roof is nothing new—single adult kids stay with elderly parents, or grandparents cohabit with nuclear families. But these days, more and more families are opting not to have live-in 24/7 household help, thus altering the role each family member takes on in the household. Single-parent households are on the rise as well. While some benefit from the support system of extended families, many single moms or dads have to work extra hard and rely on ingenuity to provide a safe, secure and ideal environment for their children.
There are so many Mother’s Day tributes out there but one stood out from the rest. Watsons Philippines “The Perfect Woman” video however, talks about how unaware most moms are about how their children see them—brave, selfless, caring and responsible. Moms are often hard on themselves; completely unaware that to their children, husbands and loved ones, they are perfect. A mother may describe the perfect woman as “loving and caring” when, in fact, that is she. A mother’s love is selfless and her job never ends but she deserves a break. Moms need to pamper themselves and be pampered. Happy mothers who look good and feel great in turn make their loved ones feel great, too.
