[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once you have a kid, there is no such thing as "myself". [/quote] This is just toxic. Of course there is. You are still a human, a woman, and a wife too. An 18 month old demands hands on care and a lot of attention but there is no reason his or her mom cannot still meet her own needs.[/quote] It's not toxic. It's the reality of parenthood. If you are focused on meeting your own needs, guess what you are not doing or at least not doing well. HINT - something to do with your baby. [/quote] That’s not true at all. Meeting my own needs is necessary for being the best parent I can be and just for being a happy and fulfilled adult. It definitely doesn’t mean I’m neglecting my child. She has two parents, to start. We don’t both need to be there at the same time. Even when I am there, independent play is important. [/quote]
