I Stopped Putting My Kids First

I see you, mama, out here momming so hard. You’re everything from the taxi driver, short-order cook, personal assistant, nurse practitioner, sock locator, cheerleader, craft aficionado, boo-boo kisser, mediator, and sometimes, the equalizer. You do everything for your kiddos and make life as comfortable as possible. So, why do people feel the need to say, “Your children should always come first?” to a rockstar like yourself? I asked myself that question and explored why it grinds my gears when I hear it. For years, I fell into the trap that my children should always come first. Then one day, I woke up, stopped putting my children first and became a better mom.

I share a few more thoughts on this on my blog at kdbryantwrites.com/blog-1. Drop your thoughts in the comments.
