I know how to fix it. Grow the fuck up. Look after your own kids. But we get heaps for them at daycare. $130 a day. Can you believe that. Love it. I love “away” mums. Stay away. Kids are great.

Love

sparkly, sparkly, friendship,

Lisa,
You’ve just described the way I try to view “chores”. The more chores I take on alone, the less time I get to spend with my husband and 9-month-old daughter. That’s not the kind of mom I want to be, so every day I use that as my motivation to “do” less and “be” more. I was not this type of person before my daughter was born. I’m definitely a type A perfectionist by nature. I’ve noticed there’s not one time that I regretted saying no, but many times when I’ve regretted saying yes.

This is valuable advice regardless of whether or not you’re a parent. Learning to say no to other is critical to self-preservation and personal growth. Cheers.

Hi Lynne,
I KNOW you are not alone, because I tend to write posts that I most need to hear (:)) Go ahead and indulge in some guilt free pampering and relaxing for your (much deserving) 8 month pregnant self!!
