A few things I've learned in the short time I've been a mama...
1. Being self-sacrificing doesn't make you a good mom. It makes you a martyr and you will end up an angry & resentful woman later in life.
2. Having boundaries, even when your child is staring at you begging and crying is often healthier in the long run and better for both of you.
3. Learning to respect yourself and be an example for your baby is one of the most empowering things you can do.
4. Some days you may make it through a rough day by feeding your kid nothing but white bread and ice cream and that is just fine.
5. Giving your child 20 uninterrupted minutes of present playtime together is way better than giving them an hour of distracted interaction.
