Sure, it may not be entirely justified, but sometimes as a mother you just need a moment for yourself.
Marloes (37), mother of Willem (3) and Guusje (10 months).
“I didn’t breastfeed my second because I didn’t feel like fussing and wanted to sleep through the night quickly. That worked. My children always watch Peppa Pig in the morning, because I am not yet able to have fun. I have to have coffee before I can be a nice mom.
“I have to have coffee before I can be a nice mom”
I work four days a week and I love that. At the end of my day off I often think: yay, back to childcare tomorrow, I can work again. I love my kids and we do a lot of fun things, so I don’t feel guilty about anything.”

Just on the tablet
Kirsten (26), mother of Emma Lieve (2).
“When my daughter wakes up early, she gets the iPad. When I’m working, she gets the iPad. If I want a moment of silence, she gets the iPad. When I start cooking: iPad.
“Continuously entertaining my daughter or playing with her is really not an option”
I am a single and work at home mom. Constantly entertaining my daughter or playing with her is really not an option. When I need time, that tablet is a life saver. I’m not ashamed of it. If she plays nicely and I can do my thing, I am a much nicer mother.”
