I’m Done Doing Things For Everyone Except Myself

Have you ever been where this mom is?

I quit. I’m done. So totally, irrevocably, done.

I quit getting up from the table after I’ve just sat down.

I quit folding the kids’ clothes, because dammit, they’re old enough to fold by themselves, and even if they want to just stuff everything all slipshod into their drawers, well, I kinda don’t give a crap anymore.

I quit finding things for people. My 5-year-old can’t find her stuffed unicorn or her favorite pink pen. My 9-year-old can’t find his tablet or his Harry Potter book. My husband can’t find his sunglasses, keys, cell phone, wallet. Guess who knows where ALL of that stuff is? ME. Guess who’s not telling anyone where all of that stuff is? ME. Mwahaha!

I quit preparing snacks at all hours of the day. Three meals a day for my greedy, bottomless pits, and that is all they’re getting from me. They can make their own damn cheese and crackers.

I quit being woken up in the middle of the night for stupid crap. Kid had a nightmare? Sure, crawl into bed with us. I understand, nightmares suck. But if someone screams through the house at 3 a.m. because they need me to fix their covers, I will bring this godforsaken house down.

I quit over-scheduling my kids. One activity per kid is just going to have to be enough. I need a few quiet evenings per week with no place to hustle to. One or two nights out of the house per week is plenty.

You're definitely going to want to check out the rest of what this mom is quitting on Scary Mommy. When you're finished, leave a comment and share whether or not you've ever been guilty of neglecting yourself.
