[QUOTE="Star*, post: 93659, member: 4964"] okay okay - but THIS is my point EXACTLY and some of us get so wrapped up IN taking care of the little duck peckers that we forget about OURSELVES. Putting yourself first doesn't necessarily mean, going to the store and buying yourself nice unnecessary things and letting difficult child do without socks or underpants. IT doesn't mean that you take the first, or biggest portion at the dinnertable before the little chineese water torture experts get in the kitchen. IT DOES mean exactly this : If I were NOT around someone would step up for a while and then my difficult child would probably be running the streets or dead. If that's not your goal - then take time to make sure you are getting your vitamins, enough sleep, some back up support, take the time to go to counseling and TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. WHAT I'm getting at is YOU ARE VERY VALUABLE and WITHOUT YOU? Most of our difficult child's would be in bad shape. Without you your difficult child would be (You fill in the blank) That's what taking care of yourself first means. -although the thought of being pecked to death by ducks or watching difficult child have a melt down with verbal spewing as to what a wonderful MOther I am....would be a toss up.
