8 Ways Happy Mums Brighten Up Everyone’s Day Compared to Angry Mums

8 Ways Happy Mums Brighten Up Everyone’s Day Compared to Angry Mums

Are you a "happy" mum or an "angry" mum?

In a post from Candy House Blog, a volunteer of a domestic violence shelter noted some of the things she had noticed about the mothers from the shelter, as well as the mothers in her own personal experiences with family and friends.

Through her observations, this blogger was able to note some of the things that happy mothers do that angry mums do not do.

Here are some of the awesome things happy mums do that angry mums don’t:

Happy mums don’t expect perfection. 

This applies to themselves as well. A happy mum expects the best of her children and herself, but reasonably. No one is perfect. Happy mums acknowledge this. A happy mum knows that we must learn from our mistakes.

Happy mums radiate sunshine and happiness.

Happy people in general are a constant source of joy. Happy mums not only light up a room with their positivity when they enter, but they are a reliable source of care and love. In other words, their happiness is infectious.

Happy mums choose their battles wisely. 

A happy mum doesn’t micromanage and pick fights about every little detail in their kids’ lives. A happy mum knows when it’s time to intervene or put her foot down, and knows when to respect room for growth. Kids need space to grow, and a happy mum will let her kids have some reasonable boundaries.

Happy mums are honest.

In life, one’s word should be as good as gold. This applies to mothers as much as anyone. A happy mum should be able to deliver on promises when made. A happy mum should be truthful with her family.

Happy mums are playful. 

Parents who play with their kids are always getting the best bonding time with their kids. It makes for an all-around better parenting experience. A happy mum is one who is never afraid or unwilling to play with her kids at home or even at the park.

Happy mums are good listeners.

Happy mums have the ability to understand and help their kids. How do they do this? By listening and caring about their child’s problems. Happy mums are able to empathise and sympathise with their kids through their amazing listening skills.

Happy mums impart wisdom. 

Happy mums help their kids grow by expanding their minds. They do this by learning with their kids, and by teaching them. Happy mums are glad to share the knowledge they have and are eager to learn with their kids to help better them for the future.

Happy mums love being happy.

This may seem redundant, but what I’m trying to say is that a happy mum wants to be happy and wants to have a positive attitude. At the end of the day, if someone wants to act a certain way, they’ll do as they please. That’s why it’s so important for a happy mum to be happy. Kids will follow their example!
