Mother's Day is coming and we continue in Babies and more with interviews with some of the moms bloggers more influential to know them a little more. In this case it is the turn of Maca, of Mamá by bulerías.
Maca is 22 years old and has been Amaya's mother for three years. He currently works in a dry cleaning and helps some moms with their lactations: in June he will finally complete his training and receive the title of lactation consultant.
His blog was born when his girl was six months old and soon after he had focused on motherhood, giving her current name, "Mom for bulerías". Maca is "almost married" (as they jokingly say) with her daughter's dad, she loves decoration and weddings and if you wonder why the name of the blog, yes: she likes flamenco a lot. Let's meet her a little more.
What led you to start a blog?
At first I talked about everything a little, I always liked to write. But then I wanted to share my experiences as a mother and since I had the girl with 19 years, I had no friends who were mothers and so I visited other maternity blogs until mine focused only on that facet of my life.
What has the blog contributed to you?
Well, everything! Joys and dislikes. Knowledge of motherhood, breastfeeding, parenting ... It has taught me to respect other options, but also to discuss and defend my convictions. I have learned a lot about computers and the internet (although I still fight with the html…). And above all wonderful people. I have made friendships that little by little have gone from being a piece of my life 2.0 to being part of my daily life. What I like the most is that I vent, I count what I feel like and I am 100%. Who really wants to know me, just read my blog.
How has motherhood changed you?
Throughout. It made me mature, it made me more rational, more responsible ... The truth is that I became a new person. There are many things left of my non-mother self, such as male milk, hehehe, but certainly motherhood turned my head around.
What led you to put in the blog a section dedicated to "Stories of young mothers"?
I wanted to expose stories of young mothers to take away the poster of careless and frustrated mothers.
Young mothers are very frowned upon. It seems that we are all irresponsible crazy people who got pregnant and we don't know how to raise children and we are thinking about leaving them with someone to party. There is no doubt that there are so with 20, but there are also so with 30 years. Age is not a condition for being a good mother.
What do you expect from an "ideal" Mother's Day?
I would like to do many things, with my daughter and my boy, to go for a walk, to have a drink ... And of course to be with my mother.
We wish you a great day and we appreciate that Maca de Mamá por bulerías has been so kind to share her answers with everyone. Tomorrow we return with a new interview in our Special Moms Bloggers in Babies and more and many more content.
