In the United States, the trend of “momcation”, trips intended for mothers, is all the rage. Reporting.
Before the start of the school year, two mothers have decided to treat themselves to a weekend without husband or child. The opportunity to go shopping in peace. “I can take my time and walk into the dressing room on my own”, rejoices Amber Maham, mother of five children and part-time employee. She and her friend, Naomi Buonerba, three children, took a “momcation”, a vacation of moms. They have booked a hotel an hour from their home. The program is simple: recharge without guilt.
Take care of your health
The two women were encouraged by their husbands, and would like to repeat the experience. In the United States, the trend has grown so much that hotels have even created specific boxes. For experts, these “momcation” are also a reflection that society does not take enough account of the mental health of mothers, who tend to forget themselves for the benefit of their families. “Taking time outside, for yourself, developing other aspects of your identity, than just being a mother, is not complacency. It’s not just well-being, it’s a basic need, that of taking care of one’s health”analyzes Dayna M. Kurtz, psychotherapist, specialist in maternal health.
