I’m a Bad Mom because…

15 THINGS NO-ONE TELLS YOU ABOUT POSTPARTUM RECOVERY

A Bad Moms Christmas is releasing in South Africa this week! Are you excited? I loved the first movie, so I am really looking forward to watching the second one. The movie got me thinking about how us moms are always in the spotlight.

Firstly, some people believe that all “moms” are supposed to do is, take care of their husbands and kids. Nothing else. WRONG! We are allowed to have dreams and goals too. Working full-time or building an empire doesn’t make you a BAD Mom.

I am tired of people telling me how to mother my kids or balance my work and home life. I am tired of the judgments within the mom community – especially the bullying and honestly I am tired of all those moms who think that they are “perfect”.

Let’s be real. There is no such thing as a perfect mom! We have all done something that we regret or wish that we could take back but sometimes we are forced to do things to keeps us sane and our family happy.

Stop making us feel guilty and let’s rather work together on creating a Mom tribe.

  1. I’m a bad mum for most of the things on your list. Plus as a new mum some 9 years ago I was in the car with 2 month old baby and nephews, 2 bees flew in and out we all jumped and stepped away before my nephew reminded me I’d left the baby behind. Pretty much set the tone for my motherhood journey. And I let them eat Nutella on bread when we’re running late for school…which is most days. I could go on. *stands up and takes a bow*

  29. Copper scrap permits Copper prices have been steadily rising in recent months, and many experts believe that a significant copper squeeze is coming for the global economy. A copper squeeze refers to a shortage of available copper, which can lead to a rapid increase in prices as demand outstrips supply. This can have a ripple effect across the economy, particularly in industries that rely heavily on copper, such as construction and electronics. There are several factors driving the potential copper squeeze. First and foremost is the ongoing global economic recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic, which has increased demand for copper as countries ramp up infrastructure and construction projects. At the same time, there are concerns about potential supply disruptions. Many of the world’s top copper-producing countries, such as Chile and Peru, are facing political instability and labor disputes that could impact production. There are also worries about the impact of climate change on copper output, with extreme weather events and other disruptions becoming more common. Finally, there is the looming transition to renewable energy sources, which is only expected to drive up demand for copper even further in the years to come. All of these factors are coming together to create a perfect storm that could lead to a major copper squeeze. Some experts are predicting that copper prices could reach record highs in the coming months, with potential implications for everything from consumer electronics to the stock market. However, it’s worth noting that there are also some potential mitigating factors that could help to prevent a full-blown copper squeeze. For example, there are efforts underway to increase copper production in other countries, such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo. There are also innovations in the mining and recycling of copper that could help to boost supply. Ultimately, the situation with copper is complex and multifaceted, and it’s difficult to predict exactly how it will play out in the coming months and years. However, what is clear is that copper will continue to be a crucial commodity for the global economy, and that any disruptions or shortages will have significant consequences Scrap metal recovery facility Industrial copper waste Copper recycling legislation Copper alloy melting Copper wire scrap Metal waste reusability

  30. Scrap Copper certification Copper is one of the most widely used materials in the world. It is a versatile metal that is used in everything from construction materials to electrical wiring to plumbing fixtures and more. Due to its widespread use, the price of copper plays a significant role in several industries. Several factors influence the price of copper, and understanding these factors can help businesses and individuals make more informed decisions. 1. Supply and Demand: Like most commodities, the price of copper is closely tied to the laws of supply and demand. When demand for copper exceeds the available supply, prices usually rise, and when supply exceeds demand, prices usually fall. Large-scale infrastructure projects, China’s expansion in infrastructure, and a growing shift toward renewable energy sources are some of the factors that have increased demand, and a shortage of copper could lead to higher prices in the future. 2. Economic Conditions: The overall economic conditions of a nation or region can also influence the price of copper. In times of economic growth and stability, demand for copper typically increases due to increased construction and manufacturing activities, leading to an increase in the price of copper. In contrast, during recessions or times of economic uncertainty, the demand for copper decreases, leading to a drop in its price. 3. Production Costs: The production costs of copper are influenced by several factors, including the cost of mining and refining the metal. The global copper industry is highly capital-intensive, and when production costs rise, mining companies may reduce production or halt operations altogether, reducing copper supply and leading to higher prices. 4. Technological Advancements: Technological advancements, such as the development of more efficient mining techniques and refineries, can also influence the price of copper. More efficient production methods can lead to increased supply and lower production costs, potentially leading to lower copper prices. 5. Government Regulations: Government policies, such as environmental regulations and taxes, can also affect the price of copper. For example, stricter environmental regulations may increase production costs for mining companies, thereby reducing supply and increasing prices. Similarly, taxes and tariffs on copper exports can also affect the price of copper, particularly in countries where copper mining is a significant source of revenue. 6. Currency Exchange Rates: Copper is traded globally, so exchange rates between currencies can also impact the price of copper. When a country’s currency strengthens against the US dollar, the price of copper may decrease, and vice versa. In conclusion, the price of copper is influenced by a wide range of factors. Supply and demand remain the primary driver of copper prices, but economic conditions, production costs, technological advancements, government regulations, and currency exchange rates can also play a significant role. Businesses and individuals looking to invest in copper or copper-related industries must closely monitor these factors to make informed decisions Metal scrap recovery yard Copper wire scrap buyers Recycled copper ingots Copper scrap refining methods Scrap copper safety standards Metal reclaiming and utilization center
