@kathy thank you 🙏🏾 so far I don’t but I should consider taking a day off and taking care of myself .
Do it!! You deserve it. You don’t have an off day??
@kathy I’m off on weekends.. however my husbands off days rotate .. so I’m with the kids all day Saturdays … don’t get me wrong I love doing things with my family . I just feel like I don’t know who I am anymore
Tell your husband you need a self care day! Don’t ask, tell. Plan it out and let him know what time you’re leaving and that you’ll be back when you’re done.
@Sydnie your right ! Sad thing is he gives me the support to go do whatever I need for myself . I really have a problem with mom guilt 24/7 and it’s eating me alive .
@Mackenzie you deserve it! Re read your post about how much you do. I promise your kids won’t remember you taking one day to yourself but they will remember having a happy mom who took care of herself. Sounds like you have a supportive husband. Let him have a day with the kids while you give yourself a much needed break. You’ll feel so much better.
@Sydnie thank you so much !!! Your right … I have to remember how important it is to take care of myself !! ❤️
Hey, meet other mommies in the area and chat with them while kids play together. Socializing with other moms can bring you comfort. Sending you love
Regardless if your husband works and is tired, he put effort into creating those children. YOU need a minute to breathe. Don’t ASK him, TELL him you need a day to focus on YOU. Don’t feel bad for pointing out the fact you do all those things for your children because it is so exhausting being the “go to” parent.It’s not to throw it in his face but help him see just home much “behind the scenes” you actually do for your children. Talk to him and let him know that you can’t be a clear minded women or mom if you can’t even focus on your own well being.
Sending you my love! Do you have a day coming up that will allow you to do something for yourself? Planning it can give you something to look forward to.
