It's ok to say no to your child⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can't do it all and you shouldn't be.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We are around our children so much more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They see us and want to be with us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They see us and think we are available for their every demand. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sometimes it's easier to give in. It's quicker if you just do it. There is no point in trying to take time for myself they will just find me! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How many of you try to take a bath and have a little person crawl in with you? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I will be talking more about this topic with @annette.hamm Thursday April 8 @chch_morninglive⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Are you feeling overwhelmed? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you need a break? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tune in Thursday morning (watch on cable tv or stream live) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #momlifebalance #parenting #parentingtips #Hamiltonmoms #Hamiltonmom #bossmom #momlifeunfiltered #momlifebalance #momofateenager #momthemanager #iquit #iquitmomlife #youdonthavetodoitall #teamfamily
