Sounds like you have very smart children and they will notice that you take time for you, and recreate this later in their own lives. |
My mother (very smart lady!
) told me the exact thing that you wrote! She has told me that my children, especially my daughter, needs to see me taking care of myself and doing special things for me. My mom knows that we stress over money but she said, "So what...don't spend a whole lot, but it is important that they kids see Mommy taking care of Mommy some and to see that you love yourself. When you are Wal-Mart getting groceries, pick yourself up something inexpensive...just love yourself!". My mom is a wonderful person!!
