Don't pick me!

How come... every time I finally get a chance to SIT DOWN here they come with "can you's"
Can you please fix me something to eat (after they just ate)

Can you please help me with my homework (daddy doesn't know how to do it right)

Can you please reach this for me?
(Mind you I'm 5'4 and dad is 6'6)🤷🏾‍♀️

Moms...when you finally get the opportunity to relax ... learn to deligate or simply say NO!

No doesn't mean never.

It just means not right now.

If you know you don't have the mental bandwidth at the moment saying no or delegating is crucial to your self-care.

Don't walk around all stressed out and mumbling under your breath in anger cuz you agreed to do it when you know you didn't have the capacity to do it in the first place!

Let them Pick Somebody Else or WAIT!

Fill in the blank

Ughhhhh my child's parent just doesnt listen. We just can't seem to agree on _________________! (Fill in the blank)

What's the 1 thing you and your coparent can't seem to agree on?

For me and my coparent, it used to be MONEY $$. Money was a huge issue for us. I always tried to be fair and when things would come up pertaining to our son I would only ask for him to split the cost with me.

He was also in charge of splitting the cost of the childcare with me but when his payments were due there was always an excuse.

After a while, I ended up taking him to court, which I really was trying to avoid, but it was necessary. I had to learn when to get off the financial roller-coaster ride.

Even though I got pushed to the edge before I actually went the court route, I tried.... and even though it made things tense between us, it's a decision I would make again to maintain my sanity.

Maintaining my sanity is how I am able to Master my Motherhood!
