Why is asking for help so hard? Because our little childhood voices, that asked for help so many times, were often ignored, minimized and even punished, when the way we asked for help was not calm, respectful and polite. But whispering from the bottom of the well never saved anyone. The societal condemnation around a need for community is possibly why so many of us feel like we are imposing when we ask for support. Instead we use passive aggressive sighs and comments to try and get our needs met. If we want our children to be authentic and transparent in communicating their needs, we need to model doing the same.” J. Milburn PRE-ORDER NOW AVAILABLE!! 1/2 Price when pre-ordered. That’s right!

@responsive_parenting Parent Guilt & Self-Care “Some of us are so consumed by parent guilt that when we read something about how self-care helps you to be the best parent you can be, we feel guilty. As if we’ve been denying our children the gift of a happy, well-rounded and fulfilled parent. Don’t let information like this stress you out, let it free you from the guilt of doing something for yourself.” J.

This one is really good too actually ❤️ Do you ever have those days that it feels like nothing is going right? The house is a mess, your running on no sleep, behind on EVERYTHING, kids have had way too much screen time and you keep getting snippy with your partner. You keep saying to yourself “I know what I have to do, why can’t I do it?” So you start and as you put the first cup in the dishwasher, your eldest asks for yogurt, just as you are handing them a spoon, your youngest asks to nurse. So you sit down to nurse. Trying to meet everyone’s needs at once, you decide to put on just one more episode of Max & Ruby, before you will definitely turn the tv off. As your nursing the baby, your partner comes in and announces “I’m making breakfast!” You think ‘don’t say anything negative that is a kind gesture and breakfast would be nice’ BUT we all know what the kitchen will look like after that…..

Do you feel this is true? Let me know Posted @withregram • @thehonestpeach Think about it, mama:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When dad's have a messy house, they have a messy house. 🤷🏻‍♂️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When moms have a messy house, they're a bad mom. 🙅🏼‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How does that make sense? 👇🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because women are taught from a young age to be perfect in order to be loved, seen, and whole.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This doesn't go away in motherhood, it intensifies.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There are probably plenty of dads who don't like a messy house, and would prefer it to remain tidy! They mean even feel bad out themselves if the house is messy.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The difference is: most don't consider a messy house to be a negative reflection on them as a father. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Moms, Is it preferable to have a clean home? YES! Can our environment have an effect on our mood? YES!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But, your house doesn't need to be perfect in order for you to love and accept yourself. You can do it right now, with loads of laundry piled everywhere, and with dishes in the sink.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You're a good mama when your house is messy. You're a good mama when your house is clean. You're a good mama all the time, mama. ❤️✨ #honestpeach #selfcare #selfcaremama #fuckpatriarchy #toxicideals #messyhouse #messyhousehappykids #genderimbalance https://www.instagram.com/p/CRmMbOEnieB/?utm_medium=tumblr
