Do you notice the constant ebb and flow of parenting? Sometimes it feels like I'm rocking it, then five minutes later I'm rubbing my forehead with weariness.
I discuss my "peak" on Friday going on my son's field trip, then the "pit" Saturday morning when I had to complete a messy art project that was in danger of staining my whole house.
I tell the story of our weekend and how I chose to put my need for rest first, even in light of my son's whininess about not getting to have friends to play with (they were sick.)
How do you put your self-care needs above those of your family members at times?
It's a hard decision, but I know it's better for everyone if I choose NOT to be the martyr.
Healing is possible!
I'd love to hear from you! https://www.instagram.com/iheartserin/
