To what extent should one take the thought that a woman owes to her children? where the woman ends and the mother begins, or vice versa.
perhaps we should apply to our children the motto that says: your rights end where mine begin.
We women have to learn to take care of ourselves, of our needs and even of our tastes and enjoyment. Pleasure whenever we can ... and I don't mean the sexual part ...

I agree with you. We have to take care of ourselves. We are people.

Yes, and sometimes to a certain extent being a little selfish and giving us our tastes, sometimes, although it is only a small example ... I keep, almost hiding sweets that I eat alone when they are in school ... hahahaha

@emmapadrino I ate more chocolates when my children were little and only gave a reasonable amount to them.

hhhhhmmm! you are right in your thinking, mothers do deserve some time to take care of themselves but you see its in our nature to care, love, protect in short its in our nature to always give. In as much as we will want to take a day off in a week or two weeks or even in a month. lol we just do not know how to stop worrying!
Imagine a single mum with 3 kids who hasn't been on a date for like 24months and have to take one day off to meet a fine young man. All she will be thinking about during that date will be a mixture of what the nanny will be doing or what the kids will be doing; have they done their home work, have they eating, and if the kids were with a neighbor, she will be like(God i hope they are not giving her much trouble) you see we just can stop caring.
if a mother can create a balance between that, then you are a SUPPER MUM! Its a plus because we deserve sometime to ourselves.
we care not only out of obligation but mostly out of love.

It is true, it is an instinct that we have ... and also a virtue, because we can be doing anything and be aware of them at the same time, but we have to give ourselves our time, our space, because to a large extent our well-being is also their well-being, they also grow very fast and are going to make their lives

The mother doesn't owe anything from their children. She hss the duties and responsibilities to rear them up.

Yes, but many women do not understand it and give their children much more than they really need, they give up their whole life and in the end they are left alone, tired, sick ...
