Most times women get swallowed up in child rearing that they forget all about themselves. This might probably be because they want to give the best they can to their kids or because they do not want to be seen by their kids as “bad” mothers. Also they may want to make sure their families are seen as the ideal ones by the society or possibly the work is very tasking and they do not want to be seen as failures. Parenting is a process and women should include themselves in this process in order not to run themselves down.
Here are some tips to help:
- Make out time at least once every week to pamper yourself
- Learn to say no to things; requests or commitments that are not important
- Ensure you spend quality time frequently with your partner, in order to keep the fire burning
- Make out time to hang out with your friends; however, a word of caution here, make sure you chose those you hang out with. For those in the Diaspora, you could with your friends, form a Mothers’ club
