For those moms with young children out there, these are days of, “Mom, Mom, MOM!” and spit up on every top. How to make it through? Will it ever end?
Dr. Leman’s Three insights:
1. Align yourself with other moms. Create a babysitting co-op, or a playgroup.
2. Take time for yourself. This means nap while the baby naps! Housework will always be there. Let your husband help you clean up when he comes home (but you will need to ask for help, because he does not always know what you are thinking!)
3. Realize that the day will come when you’ll yearn for these baby days again. So, soak it up. Enjoy those babies and toddlers, because, before too long, they will be going off to college.
And, the bonus #4:
Take time to keep your relationship with your husband healthy and alive. He is the one you will be with for the rest of your life!
