Don't get me wrong, I love my kids. But sometimes I just need some time for myself! How do you balance your own needs with the constant needs of your children? Are there ways to create a healthy balance and avoid feeling resentful?

Hello there! Prioritising and balancing your needs with those of your children is essential to be an amazing mother, which you are already as you wouldn't have asked this question otherwise . So don't fret, you're doing amazingly. I can suggest a few things as a psychologist, and the first thing is to have regular self care practices. It can be anything you like? for example, if you like reading, exercising, cooking, skin care, watching tv to let loose, etc. They can be small moments in intervals or a break for a while, depending on what fits best. Remember to always set realistic expectations so that they can be manageable and flexible. Creating a routine can be beneficial for you and your child. I hope to see you in a live session someday to discuss this further if need be. Till then, stay strong and take care.
