[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Raising kids is super hard work. And letting yourself go might be one season, but when they get older, you can pick yourself back up, get a nice haircut, start working out again, and get nicer clothes. That's what I did. I look better at 45 than I did at 38. I was too tired and busy with 3 very small children to ever wear anything but J Crew shorts and schlumpy V-neck T-shirts during that time. I had a god awful sensible haircut, never wore makeup, and looked tired all the time. Now that my kids are in late-elementary, early middle school, I have enough time to jog twice a week and see a personal trainer once a week, afford better clothes because I have a job again, wear makeup and have a nicer haircut, and get botox twice a year. Letting yourself go is almost never a one-way street. [/quote] +1 I started looking and feeling better when my three started late elementary/MS as well. I was getting more sleep, able to work out a bit, and afford nicer clothes etc. My kids are now in HS, and I look tons better at 50 than I did at 38. No joke. Not to say parenting is a cake walk at this age, but I have time and a bit more money to take care of me. [/quote]
