Guest guest Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Wow! I don't have half the responsibility you have...but working full tiime a husband who travels, having an almost 6 year old and being over 50, I found that my energy was lagging. BFL helped, but what also helped was my new mantra: Good enough. Our son is " good enough " clean (he'd roll himself in mud if he could and just watch it flake off..but every other day we have to take a bath). Our house is " good enough " clean. I can find things and I wouldn't be embarassed to have someone over, but it is not the Temple of Bleach that my mother's house was. Second thing that helped: Personal time which was absolutely totally and completely sacred. My DH takes our son out to breakfast every Saturday morning and then they do grocery shopping. Then, they go to the Temple of Guys....the hardware store. They are gone for 4 hours. I don't clean, I don't cook, I do my nails or read a book or just sleep late. Everyone needs " me " time. I'm a better parent because I replenish myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
