 Parenting can be exhausting, and with today's busy lifestyles, we have even less time for ourselves. The best tip I was ever given on being a new parent was to take time for myself. Easier said than done, right? Well, being the organizer and scheduler that I am, I came up with the "Me Time Calandar." Using a basic calandar that my computer program supplied, I was able designate one weekday 3-hour block of "Me Time" for my husband and one for myself, as well as a rotating block of time for every other weekend. This is a good way for parents to recharge their batteries, and while one parent is relaxing, the other can take time to bond with the children. The calandar can also be used to designate family days or make a dinner schedule. One warning: create a schedule with the willingness of flexabilty. Not everything works out as planned, and sometimes things need to be rescheduled. Communication between parents is key, so tell your spouse if you need more time, and be patient when they need their space. My husband and I still butt heads from time to time, but I couldn't imagine what it would be like if we didn't have the "Me Time Calandar." It can work for you, too! |
