I saw this on FB and thought… I wonder how many parents feel this way sometimes? π€
- When you just want a single minute to yourself to just think and remember your own name… ππ©
- When you truly love your children, but you can’t use the restroom in peace… π€¦πΎββοΈ
- When you are glad your baby learned to walk, but you can’t shower without them busting in… ππΎββοΈ
- When you will feed them in just a minute, but the bathroom is slightly more important right now b/c your bladder is full… π³π³
- When you just laid down to take a nap, but your 4th grader’s homework is a bit challenging…
- When you can’t wait to sleep in on Saturday, but your baby’s foot just hit you in the nose and its 7am… π
- When you take 5 extra minutes to get another wink of sleep, but your 10-year-old is calling you to make their lunch… π©
So, I ask you… how many of you all retreat to the bathroom to rethink your lives? ππ Just kidding!
I’m not judging you if you hide from your children to get a bit of peace from time to time. I am sure, as parents, you all do at some point and I don’t want you to feel guilty if you do.
Just as with anything else, we all need a break sometimes b/c life can be overwhelming and stressful no matter how together you think you have it.
Just remember: You can’t pour from an empty cup. Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish. ππΎππΎ
