If there is one thing that every expat mom needs in her life it is a strong support system. Being so far from family can be very difficult. As moms, we need people in our lives that we can trust, whether it’s someone to talk to or someone to help out with the children at a moments notice.

There are many reasons that every mother should have a strong support system. One of the biggest reasons is to minimize isolation. For stay-at-home Moms, this is crucial. As expats, there are many of us who don’t have a local network of friends and family. And feeling isolated can also be a little terrifying when you’re far from home family and the comfort of your home country. Not being able to have a backup when needed can really test a mother’s confidence.

Remember, the key to eliminating mom-related anxiety and stress, is to know what resources you have available to you. Having a strong support system will always help in a time of need. No one understands a feeling or a situation any more than someone else who has been through it – or who may still be going though it. This is what the Fairy Godmother Club means to me. Having a support system in place when I need it most gives me a level of comfort I’ve been looking for.

How strong is your support system? The Fairy Godmother Club is a resource available to moms with young children who need someone to help out as well as to moms with grown children who want to help out. Why not explore your hidden potential by joining the Fairy Godmother Club?
