We realize we have been sacrificing too much for our kids and it's time to tell them to act like adults and not be so selfish. We've been soft and tried to give them everything, only to be slapped in the face too many times. We are now in the process of learning how to take care of us and setting boundaries on them.

We all need to look at who we are ocassionally and be ready and willing to make a change. I will never forget what I learned in that 5 aspects of woman study - that I am master of my domain (home) and I can control it - rather than it controlling me. I do love that part of you that lets everything come AFTER your family but I agree that you can do both. That’s so awesome Erin!

Everything I said "I could never do that" to, now I'm saying "Why not?" It's a great feeling to know that you can change and not be stuck with who you've been for the rest of your life.
