“My partner and I give each other full days off to do whatever we want. We love it and don’t need to justify not being with our kiddo and family all the time. It feels so good to take off in the morning, spend time with friends or by myself, go to a museum, take myself to lunch, have drinks at the bar and socialize, or read a book, or cook or just do nothing at home. My partner will also go and enjoy his time alone. If he wants to sleep all day that is his choice, he loves his naps and his books. We enjoy each other more when we give each other space and time.”
Thanks Marcela for sharing your #noshameparenting story. Moms spend twice as much time with their kids today than in the ‘60s, AND we’re more likely to also work outside the home. Let’s be a little easier on ourselves and have a little #selfcare too please!
