[QUOTE="happymomof2, post: 148563, member: 4270"] It makes perfect sense, but we aren't perfect. I bash myself more than I should about things I do/don't do for both my kids. Guilt - guess it's a mom thing. Hubby says I do too much for them. Maybe I do. I love my kids and want them to grow up to be productive decent citizens. No one else is going to look out for our kids but us. We do need to guard against total burn out. I know when I get to feeling like I can't do any more and just want to give up trying, I tend to tell them yes to something when it should be no. Do something just for you, even if it's taking a small walk, reading a few pages of a book or magazine you enjoy just a few minutes for you. That helps me - sometimes!! [/QUOTE]
