Not Just a Parent

Taking time for you.

​

When we become a parent, we are still a person with our own desires and needs. It's important to recognise that as much as we love our childre, there is a period of a sort of "grief" that we go through as we have said goodbye to our old lives. 

As much as you may say that your life won't change, it will. It's inevitable and that's not really a bad thing. 

​

But we still should carve out time for our own interests AS WELL as being a parent. It's not a one way or the other deal!

I recently discovered Tried and Tested. She does a LIVE most Wednesdays over on Facebook and she discusses all sorts of aspects of parenting in a very humorous way. 

​

How to Dad NZ has another very funny take on parenting. He has a whole library of video on Youtube covering how to put a baby to bed to activities to keep them (and you) entertained.
