Today's parents have it easy, according to those who went before us.
Modern conveniences like video baby monitors, iPads, double electric
breast pumps, and toys that do just about everything for you are
designed to make our lives easier. But we are also living in the age of
the child-centered home, where so much of what we do is dictated by our
children's needs. So much so that mommy guilt prevents us from doing so
many of the things we would want to do — acts that seem selfish when
there are kids in the picture. "Shouldn't you be spending quality time
with your kids instead of going for a manicure?" a little voice in our
heads screams. "Shouldn't you be spending that money on an educational
toy instead of a double latte?" it says.
It's hard to drown out the little voice, but we're here to tell that
it's OK to be selfish. It's OK to do things for yourself. It's OK to do
something that doesn't benefit anyone but Mom. Here are 25 things you
should do for yourself (maybe not all at once, but over time) and never
feel guilty about.
- Go out with the girls.
- Hire a babysitter so you can get some sleep.
- Keep the "good" cookies for yourself
