I so agree with this. I think many Mothers try so hard all the time to make everything as perfect as possible for their kids. Sometimes we forget that we need to have some “me” time to recharge the batteries so that we can continue to do our best for the whole family.

Yep I do think men and women have differing approaches to this whole parenting gig. There are times I really wish I could discover some more of the male approach.

And here is me whinging about sharing myself amongst two – you must have been pulled in so many directions with five – well done on surviving!

Love your wisdom.

Thank you Sarah – I’m not looking forward to next year when both girls will be playing soccer on Friday nights – it will a rotating roster to ensure at least one parent is at each game.

Yep I always try to have somebody, which is easier now we live near family. Must have been tough to go from only child for ten years to one of three!

So don’t beat yourself up about it – your kids will be fine, there will always be ‘next year’ and doing something for yourself (going to the workshop) on occasion doesn’t make you a bad parent. *hugs*
