Food Hypocrites

Today was a tough day with my toddler. He was fussy, not eating well, and wanted me to carry him all day. I felt defeated and overwhelmed, thinking about tasks I still had to do. I started to feel sad and frustrated, wondering why I couldn’t seems to get it right. I tried to figure out what was causing his crankiness so I could fix it and make him feel better. But the more I thought about it, the more I felt like I was failing. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, asking for strength and hoping for a better day.

When I opened my eyes and saw my son looking at me, I then realized that I needed to be strong for him. At this moment, I have decided to take things one step at a time and focus only on his needs. I let go of everything else and focus on taking care of him. I took deep breaths whenever I felt overwhelmed or upset, and it helped me stay calm and centred.

After a while, I realized the need to simplify my life as a parent. I couldn’t do everything, and that was okay. I needed to prioritize my mental health and my son’s well-being and let go of the rest. It wasn’t always easy, but I knew it was the best thing for both of us. And in the end, it worked. We made it through the tough day, and I felt stronger and more capable than ever before.
