Episode 2733: Alyssa challenges the belief that moms must choose between caring for themselves and being present with their kids. By reframing self-care as essential for patience, joy, and modeling healthy boundaries, she shows how tending to your own needs makes you a better parent and teaches children resilience and balance. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://yourunbusylife.com/false-choice-me-time-mom-time/ Quotes to ponder: "It's not a choice between me time vs. story time. It's a choice between snapping mommy and snuggle mommy." "You know what you're modeling to your kids? That being a mom is such an important task, that they better give up everyone and everything they love and spend twenty years as the household drudge." "Really, the point of taking care of yourself is so that you can take care of the kids." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
