It forces us to be selfless out of overwhelming love for our kids. It's okay to take some time for ourselves, in moderation of course :) It's not selfish, it's necessary to recharge our batteries for our own sanity and allowing us to give our kids the best of us. It's a matter of finding the balance and choosing which moments to take and which to give up. But this is a great reminder. These years of complete dependence on us and we have all this time with them is short. School will arrive, independence will increase and they slowly will get lives of their own. So, we have to remember to enjoy this time as much as we can and we'll get our time back later on :)<br />http://reflectionsofanavywife.blogspot.com/Lainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10908436103293843647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-584228167731927982.post-91311080673859979582013-03-20T13:36:42.717-07:002013-03-20T13:36:42.717-07:00great post katie! my mom friend who has three boys...great post katie! my mom friend who has three boys in school... literally cries when her boys are all in school, she is sad to have no one to hang out with, play with and care for during the day. we all love our kids no matter what but find it hard to figure out what and where to fit ion that "me" time. i think all moms struggle with this.ajs {of MN}https://www.blogger.com/profile/12224717405007935431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-584228167731927982.post-49485154902485810882013-03-20T12:09:31.393-07:002013-03-20T12:09:31.393-07:00Thank you for this reminder!

I think it is more selfish when Mums don't take the healthy amount of time for themselves because then they can't be at their best for their kids.
