Our youngest has now decided that sleep is overrated and our oldest is now in school so I get to bed very late (3am) and then have to get up at 6:30am to get our oldest off to school and then I have to go to work on just over 3 hours of sleep. Plus we had 6 months of continuous sickness where at least 1 person was sick at all times in our house.
This is what I’ve learned.
Everybody always said, “it’s hard.” Or “it’s a sacrifice.”
But I wanted to know why is it hard? What am I sacrificing?
The answer is my body and health. If I want time for myself, I have to stay up late which compromises sleep and my health.
So the sacrifice is time for myself. Which I’ve learned I have to rebrand as time with the kids is for myself.
Or longer nature breaks with my phone on SN 😅
