What Would We do Without Children

When I first was with my new spouse- we would have every other weekend free- and this was new to me-
My son’s father had just come back into his life and I was used to having my boy with me most of the time, save for the occasional sleep-over.
I remember the first weekend alone, he asked me-
“Do you want to go to the fairgrounds and watch the fireworks?”
And I asked, “Why? We don’t have the kids with us.”
He laughed, and said I was so used to being a mother, I had forgotten how to be an adult.
This is so true of so many of us moms- we lose ourselves in being a mom- it becomes our whole identity.
Having time for yourself is imperitive towards being a good parent-
