[quote=Anonymous]“f it” I had a CBT shrink in my 20s who had me make that my mantra. I was so tightly wound that I thought one little thing slipping would spiral into some huge issue. And he taught me to just say “f it”. Like what happens if you don’t go to X, don’t clean X, don’t finish x today. It will be ok. You will move on. It will not spiral into disaster. Now as an adult in my 40s and a parent - 1. My job won’t fire me today. 2. No one mistake with my kids will ruin them. 3. No one is looking at my house and yard as closely as I am. Obviously you can’t just give up, but you can have some wiggle room to do nothing, eat take out, let your kids wear shoes a little too big or pants a little too short. Get your cleaning service back and consider it a head start and you can get in the corners with q tips after they leave. [/quote]
