Womanhood July, 04, 2025

As we all are aware of the fact that our zealous mother works twenty- four hours a day throughout the whole year and this job come along with a substantial amount of emotional and financial stress. The term “mom-cation” has been recently trending on various applications on social media which describes it as a brief and quick vacation where moms travel together with their family or individually without their family.

Though mom cation can be fun and enjoyable trips for mothers, physiologists recommend that moms that travel on their own can improve their family relations in the long-term future. However, it is very necessary to know that mom cation not only improves family relations but also help the moms to improve their well-being.

Motherhood is just not about bringing up a child but also keeping the house well in order, being present for all school activities, making meals, planning the week and the list goes endless. And with her endless responsibilities, she might feel that she is the only person who can keep the kids on a schedule and manage the chores. Moreover, psychology professor Dr. Nava Silton believes that it is essential for the children to see the balance that is ideally achieved in a family situation.

Alternately, before going on a trip the mother can devise a care plan for the spouse or family members or friends who will be taking care of the children. This trip or journey will refresh her and will make her relaxed. One of the moms told her experience and felt that now she was a more patient mom and a better wife. She also mentioned that people learn and start valuing and appreciating what you have at home because you do not have this in the outside world.

Taking small breaks from the austerity of life by having a cup of coffee with a friend can help to improve mental, physical and emotional health.
