Look after yourself

by supermum77

(July 13th) (rank 500+)

As parents, we neglect ourselves I used to be guilty of staying in PJ's all day just because I got so busy that I didn't get changed countless kidney infections and hospitalised just from pure exhaustion because I had this belief that my sole job was to make sure, my

house was perfect, needless to say that was a stupid idea.

So my advice is get up and have a shower, put your face on even if your not going anywhere, make sure you drink water, carry around either a glass of water, or a bottle. your house does not have to look a catalogue, you have kids so there will be a little mess, encourage them to pick up after themselves, and most importantly do something for you, wether it's a class, yoga, sports or just plain old reading a book, take time for yourself, nobody else is going to look after you, but you.

Re: Look after yourself

Taking the time out to take some "Me" time is essential. It refreshes, invigorates and allows sanity to return.

I believe in this, and make sure my beautiful lady does exactly that. I encourage her to sit down, have a drink and put her feet up as often as she can bring herself to do it......at least once a day, more if it is possible.

Re: Look after yourself

Drinking lots of water and making the most of the day is important and going overboard on the house children deffently come first my girls pick up after them sevels to they make their beds in the morning tonight my youngest 3 was crying because my husband changed their sheets and she wanted no help to put all of her covers on her bed very inderpendent she carmed down and excepted the help. Its important to spend quality time with our children and also have our own time too at the moment I miss being asked for things from my children havent been well I cant wait to be mum again.

I really do hope you are ok have things got better for you?
