"Ndisebenza neshedyuli yentombi yam."-UKaitlin Zucco, 29
Umyeni wam kunye nam sasidla ngokuzivocavoca ngaphambi kokuba sibe nentombi yethu, kodwa oko kwaphela xa wayezalwa. Emva kokubuyela emsebenzini kwaye ndimkhathalele ngokusisigxina, andinakuthwala ityala lokumshiya kwakhona ukuze ndisebenze. Kuze ndabona omnye umama esebenza ekhaya ndagqiba kwelokuba ndenze njalo unako ukwenza ukomelela kube yinyani ngaphandle kokuba ukhathalelo lwasemini lube yinxalenye yenxaki. (Whoa-lo mama uyiguqulele yonke indlu ukuba ibe yindawo yokuzivocavoca.) Ngoku, siyaqinisekisa ukuba uyokulala ngexesha elifanayo yonke imihla ngokuhlwa, kwaye xa sele elele ngokukhuselekileyo, siye ngqo kwigumbi elingaphantsi ukuya kusebenza. Ndifumanise ukuba ngokugcina intombi yam kwishedyuli enye, kuyandinceda ukugcina ndizinikele kwindlela yam yokuzilolonga.
"Ndibandakanya abantwana bam kukomelela kwam nanini na ndinako."-Jess Kilbane, 29
Ndifumene iqela lokuzilolonga endinokuthi ndizise kulo abantwana bam, ukuze ndenze abahlobo bakamama ngelixa ndisenza umthambo. Abahlohli baqinisekiswa kwimpilo yaphambi kokubeleka kunye nasemva kokubeleka, ngoko ke bayawuqonda ngokwenene umzimba kamama kunye nokuba yintoni na oyifunayo. Ndikwafumene nomdla wokubaleka. Ndihlala ndibeka ipodcast okanye incwadi yeaudiyo kwindlebe enye ndiphume ngesixhobo sokubaleka (nangona ngamanye amaxesha uyakundibona ndiqhumisa iiWiggles ukugcina abantwana bam bonwabile!).

Njengomama, kunzima ukuya kwindawo yokuzivocavoca ngayo yonke into ebandakanyekayo: ukulayisha wonke umntu emotweni, ukuqhuba apho, ukukhulula, ngoko, ukuba ndinethamsanqa lokuba nejimu okanye istudiyo esinomntwana owakhelwe ngaphakathi, ukulahla abantwana. ndiphume xa ndisenza umthambo. Ndikhawuleze ndafunda ukuzilolonga ekhaya yeyona ndlela ilungileyo kum, kodwa bendisafuna ukuphendula kuseto lweqela. Ke, omnye wabahlobo bam abasenyongweni kwaye ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndenze iqela labucala likaFacebook loomama abafuna ukuhlala belungile. (BTW, ngaba ujoyinile #MyPersonalBest Goal Crushers group kuFacebook?) Siza nomxholo omtsha wokuzilolonga inyanga nenyanga (cinga: iyoga okanye ukubaleka) ukugcina izinto zintsha kwaye zimnandi kumntu wonke. Siyajongana, sabelane ngemizabalazo yethu kunye nempumelelo, kodwa okona kubaluleke kakhulu, sixhobisana ukuze siqhubeke nohambo lwethu lokuqina. Uqeqesho, inkxaso kunye noxanduva lokuphendula yiyo yonke into. Ukuba awufumani qela likhona loomama abalungeleyo, qala eyakho!
"Abantwana bam bayazi malunga nexesha elikhethekileyo lokuzilolonga kukamama."-Imibhalo yeMonique, 30
Ndibeka iimpahla zam zokuzilolonga kunye nezihlangu phezolo, emva koko ndenza umthambo kuqala ekuseni ngaphambi kokuba kuqalise isiphithiphithi. Abantwana bayazi ukuba ukuba bavuka ngaphambi kwexesha elithile, kufuneka babuyele ebhedini ukuze umama abe "nexesha lakhe." Ndikhe ndeva besihlebeza, "myeke umama, uzama ukuzilolonga." Bayazi ukuba lixesha elincinci endinalo kum apho usuku luphela lumalunga nabo. Amakhwenkwe am amnandi kakhulu ukuhlonipha ixesha lam lokuzilolonga, kwaye ndiyazi ukuba ukuhlala ndikhuthele kundinika amandla endiwadingayo ukubakhonza imini yonke. Ngokwenza abantwana bam baziqhelanise nendlela yam yokomelela komzimba, bayandinceda ukuba ndibaphendule kodwa banciphise naliphi na ityala endinalo malunga nokuzenzela ixesha. Ngaphezu koko, ndiyazi ukuba ndingumama ongcono ngenxa yoko.

Xa wayesemncinci, ndenza okuninzi "kokuqinisa umntwana" kunye naye ekhaya. Ndamfaka kwi-baby carrier ndenza uthotho lwe-squats, i-lungs, kunye ne-exercise yengalo. Wayeyithanda into yokuba ebanjwe kufutshane-kwaye ndikuthandile ukutshiswa ekuthwaleni ubunzima obongezelelekileyo. Ngoku ukuba uneminyaka emi-3, ndizama ukumfaka ekusebenzeni kwam ekhaya ngokwenza ukuba enze umthambo kunye nam. Uyavuya kuba efumana "ukudlala" nomama, nokuba ixesha lam lokudlala libandakanya i-burpees kunye ne-squats.

Njengomama omtsha, bendihlala ndisebenza ngokukhawuleza xa sibeka umfana wethu omncinci phantsi ebusuku. Oko kwahlala ixesha elincinci, nangona kunjalo. Ngokwendalo ndingumntu wakusasa, ke ekupheleni kosuku olude lomsebenzi, ndandidinwe kakhulu. Ngoku, nonyana wam elele ubusuku bonke, ndinokuzilolonga kusasa. Ndiyavuka, ndimpompe, ndisebenze, ndilungiselele usuku, emva koko ndondle umntwana ngaphambi kokuya emsebenzini nakukhathalelo lwemini. Ngeempelaveki, ndilungelelanisa ixesha lam lokuzilolonga ukuze lihambelane nezinto ezenziwa lusapho lwam, nokuba kukutyelela abahlobo okanye ukuthenga ivenkile. Okukwintsusa: Kuninzi esinokukwenza njengomama, kwaye kufuneka sizinike ubabalo. Ukuba awunakulunga kuqeqesho okanye ihlala kuphela imizuzu embalwa, kulungile. Ungahlala uzama kwakhona ngomso.
