“There was never a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him to sleep.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson)
You gaze with wonder at sight of his smiling eyes, or the way her hair falls around her face. You also sigh with weariness at the familiar cry of ,”Mom!?!?! He stole my favorite pencil!” or “Mom!?!?! I think the hamster is loose again…”
So, you don’t want to be around your children 24/7? Good. I’d be worried about you if you did. Stop feeling guilty for the fact that you want some time to yourself.
An early bedtime for your kids is your chance to recharge your batteries by doing something just for you. By taking some time at the end of the day to unwind and really relax, you are taking care of yourself…and that’s always a good way to love your child.
Peace begins with a pause,
Hal
