Wonderful post.. unfortunately, the word “selfish” has had a negative connotation when actually we (especially mothers/grandmothers) need to prioritize “self-care” in order to fully embrace motherhood. It’s our birthright to take care of ourselves in order to fully give to others. Such an important topic. Thank you!!

Great post, excellent points. Friendship is especially important when we're raising families. It's easy to get caught up in our kids' lives and neglect our friendships. Your advice also applies to grandmothers. I've seen several of my friends get so caught up in helping with their grandkids that they put friendship on the back burner too.
