We are in the middle of summer, many are on vacation, others are about to leave and many others are already reviewing the photos back at home after a few days off.
The photos, the photos on the beach, with ice cream, hiking, stolen, perched, caught but ... is there someone missing? I don't know if it happens to you, it turns out that lately mom almost does not appear in the photos Why will it be?
Well, the reasons are the most varied and in this as in every person, every woman, it is a world but some are repeated when you talk to friends who do not usually see in the holiday photos.
The reality: why mom doesn't appear in the photos
She makes them to others
This makes it difficult for the person taking the photo to go out there, unless all the summer photos are selfies or at least a majority.
It is unlikely that in the case of a mother, most of the photos she makes on vacation are selfies in which she is included with the rest of the family, at least it is not the most common.
The usual thing is that the mobile is always at hand to catch That stolen, that moment that is so worth remembering of our children and of course, it is not a plan to stop them so that Mom also leaves the plane.
The stolen are stolen because of that, because they are done without warning and without interrupting and then we always remember the moment, even if we don't see each other in it.
The "mother of the green swimsuit"
We cannot deny it. It is a powerful reason. The story of the girl in the green swimsuit, that story that we would love not to be repeated with our daughters, that story often causes us to get out of the frame.
We do not like each other in the photos, we are not reflected in what the objective shows although we know that this is the reality and that is how we are.
No, we may not recognize it in public but it is hard to see the passage of time and much more in a swimsuit! The pressure on women in terms of age and aesthetics is not mitigated by the fact of being a mother, nor the least!
The solution
Ask them to do them to us
Not everyone is always attentive but we can ask for help from another person, our partner or the neighbor next door.
It is not necessary to break that magical moment in which we have seen our children playing, discovering something, sleeping or eating because we can go out with them. We can include ourselves in the plane with a selfie without warning or we can ask someone to take the picture next to us.
Although it is a perfect stranger, is it not better to overcome our possible modesty than to stay out of family memories?
Love us more
It is a complicated step, the most complicated, it is true but when our children grow up Do you really think they will prefer photos like this, without their parents or their mothers in the picture?
Let us also be part of your memories and stop excluding ourselves for issues that often exceed our control. It doesn't matter how we have the hair in the photo, the important thing is that we will also share that moment every time we see it with them.
And you can think of any other solution so that we do not disappear from the family photo album this holiday season?
