Hey guys!
This is going to be a short post, but I’m sitting here just thinking about stuff that’s been going on lately. And thought I’d ask this question to all of you.
When you are unwell or even feeling a bit motivated, do you feel bad you haven’t accomplished things throughout your day? Or played with your children like you usually do?
I always feel absolutely terrible and I continuously apologize to my husband and daughter. However, my husband constantly tells me I’m unwell I need to rest not be doing every little thing. But, I still feel guilty. Is that normal?
Please give me your thoughts in the comments and I hope you had a wonderful day or night wherever you are in the world!
Ciao!

It’s classic parenting guilt. I think we feel some form of it every day, whether we are well or not. On days when I feel my best, there still isn’t enough of me to go around. I know having six makes that more difficult, but even with one, I know you still feel it. Feeling unwell makes that guilt even worse.
Still, some of the best advice I’ve ever heard or read went something like, you can’t fill glasses from an empty pitcher. If up you’re not well, you’re not well. There’s nothing to be guilty about. Easier said than done, I know, but sometimes you have to rest to refill yourself before you can refill everyone else. It’s definitely one of the harder parts of parenting.
