I love my babies but with work and school, I feel like I never get a break. Can anyone relate?

@wakeupandbeblessed Hey there. You are soooo right! Parenting is definitely not for the weak, but I believe in you! You got this! Being a parent comes with its own share of stessors and it's a lot of responsibility, but too, being a parent is also the most rewarding. At least, I believe it to be. :) I hope that you are able to hold down and manage work, school, and everything else that life throws your way. Use that love for your sweet babies and that strength that you have and do what you need to do! You can do it. Please, also, don't forget to take time to yourself and self care. It's so important that you do. Children need their parents at their best and self care can definitely do wonders. I am rooting for you in all that you do. Wishing you all the best of luck and much happiness. <3

Thank you soooo much!!! I feel like theres no time between juggling everything for self care but I do agree, my babies are my motivation for it all and it indeed is rewarding! I’m just praying for a little break when I get the chance but the chance doesn't seem to arise. But I will absolutely keep going and hold it down for them always, thank you for your words of encouragement! It means the world. 🫶🏼

I hope you have caught your chance for a little 'you' break. It was the smallest moments for me that I would relish in when I was early in my parenting journey. Having a small self care ritual you do daily can really make a difference, even if that only means having a cup of tea or coffee to yourself in the morning or some quiet time to yourself at night once you put your kids down for bed. Sending well wishes and support to you mama!

@wakeupandbeblessed Being busy is good, but you should take yourself some time out and allocate the position to someone else, form time to time.

It is definitely a struggle, but also so worth it!

@wakeupandbeblessed  I definitely can relate, especially as a Mom running my own business and being a SAHM. I find that taking a little time for myself here and there helps tremendously. Obviously that is only possible with a little support from hubby and/or other family members. But finding ways to fill my own proverbial cup when needed definitely makes things easier. I also find that I tend to appreciate my little ones more and that I'm a better parent when my own needs are met.

@wakeupandbeblessed I totally relate. I work and do school too, and I feel so guilty when I don't have the energy for things like meltdowns lol. Sending good vibes your way! You've got this! 🫶

Hello wakeupandbeblessed, by the way nice name. Yes I can relate, I work overnights and am thinking about going back to school this fall. I can say that its a nonstop job and everything else only adds to the workload. I am mindful of myself now and try to make sure I am taking time for self care because its important and we deserve!
