Putting your kids first doesn't mean you can't take care of yourself. You are implying that, but no one else is.
Of course children need a happy and healthy parent to care for them, so your needs are still included in the mix, in case you were worried about that.
- dijit 5y agoThe parent of the comment you’re replying to directly states that children come first, the topic is marriage and being in a loving relationship. I have seen a handful of psychologists which claim that happiness of the parents is quite important to happiness of the children, and throwing yourself on the altar of self-sacrifice could be causing more harm than you think. If taking care of yourself means not being in a relationship with someone, but you have children, what’s the priority? That’s always going to be a hard question. Your first sentence is far too dismissive of that. These things are diametrically opposed if they parent of the comment you’re replying to is to be believed.
