Secret to Being a Balanced Mom
January 23, 2009
I choose me, an imperfect but lovable me, a lot more than I used to.
Selfish is not a bad word. “How can taking care of yourself be bad?” I am a nurturer. I care about the quality of my work, and I take responsibility seriously. I’ll never be able to be the kind of selfish that ignores the needs of others, but I’m not the kind of selfless that ignores my own needs anymore. A happy me is more productive at work, more present with my kids and more in tune with my relationships. My kids are surviving my fallibility as a parent. In fact, they are thriving because my honesty about my mistakes allows them be fallible, too.
