Parents Need “Adult” Time
May 18th, 2010 by admin
It’s great for parents to have other parents to talk to about parenthood and their children. There is a valuable understanding that is very helpful when you go through the journey of raising a family. However it is also very important to discuss things outside the realm of parenting. Don’t feel guilty talking about things that are not related to your children, like you are not allowed to speak of your life before kids. Yes your role in life may have changed, but you are still someone besides “mom” and it’s great to be able to relate to people on other levels. Every parent needs a break at some point from talking about their kids and asking questions and getting advice, but for your own mental well-being choose a different topic of conversation.
