The purpose of my channel is to document my cancer journey to look back on, and/or help anyone else going through anything similar. It is also to potentially help loved ones supporting those who are in this fight as well. This is also an easy way to update a lot of people at once. My main goal is to have footage of this journey for my husband and children to look back on. I originally created this channel as a sort of video diary for my
family.
Thank you so much for following along on this journey. Your love and support help me so much.

Can I just say as a relatively healthy person, I felt EXHAUSTED just watching the time lapse video of you and Winnie! Jenny you killed your first day! Play doh, painting, coloring, playing with the dollhouse, reading, getting ready, doing hair, fixing meals…. GOOD LORD! Cancer or not, you are anything but lazy. I’m sure the kids didn’t mean it in a malicious way, prob just teasing. You got this! Ps- had to edit because I forgot you went to go get Ellis, after school snacks, then more play doh, more painting, and I’m sure there’s more we didn’t even see. You’re amazing and we all see it! Give yourself a pat on the back. Sending so much love your way! Sorry for the long comment 😬 lol

I just want you to know that most stay at home moms do not entertain their kids all day. I would find some activities that they can do alone, like puzzles, building blocks, or a board game. Maybe you could ask your son to read a book while you rest on the couch. As a child, I remember playing in my room with my dolls for hours and my mom didn't have to play with me. Put some childrens music on and let them sing to you. You could do some things with them, but I would not play all day. If you really need a break, put on a good Disney movie for them at the end of the day. You made me tired just watching the video. I'm glad my kids didn't expect that from me.

Before you shared the comment that inadvertently hurt your feelings, I was thinking how actively engaged you were with the kids. They should both be able to self-engage without parent involvement for periods of time-even if you didn't have the exhaustion from your treatment. So don't feel guilty for taking time for yourself, to rest or otherwise. You're doing amazing, sending ❤.

The kids need to know that they need to entertain themselves sometimes, that you can’t spend every moment with them as you need to rest and sometimes do other things. I’m sure they won’t think you are lazy ❤. You did great on your first day on your own!

Love how you handled making them accountable for what they said and respecting your feelings and teaching empathy. ❤️ I also wonder if maybe the kiddo completely understood why you were taking a rest and they were scared and so lashed out. I have vivid memories of my own childhood around adults with big scary health problems and how I would sometimes say things that weren't at all what I was feeling and would just come as selfish or angry. Just my two cents. Great job on your first day alone! You're a courageous warrior!!❤️

The kids are still younger, and really have no comprehension of the depth of your sickness and struggle. You are doing great. The only thing I would add, is to bring in free play, without needing a parent literally participating, and/ or a picked tv program which would give you a break, and have the kids start participating in helping out, small things like setting out dishes, cleanup, just little things to start teaching them how to help out, it will help you, and it's good for them.

Thank you for your honesty. When others (including the kids and other close ones) can't see your illness, they don't always "remember" the exhaustion it causes. I have MS and have similar experiences. When I was, in the past during a relapse, unable to walk, everyone remembered that I'm ill. Now that there's no visual reminder like wheelchair, I sometimes feel people don't remember that my MS causes fatigue. You also look ablebodied and fine, even though you have exhaustion from cancer & treatment. You did well on your first day!

Jenny, looking after a little ones is exhausting enough! Having cancer treatments on top of it is almost too much!! I completely understand the guilt you feel when your children don’t seem to understand when you’re not well. When I was going through chemotherapy, I was determined to take my son to the park. We probably got a quarter there and I just couldn’t do it. I actually sat down on the grass by the side of the road because I was so sick from treatment. My husband had to help me home. I felt so incredibly guilty, and I could see my son was disappointed. We ended up resting for a bit and took a car ride to get ice cream. It was so hard for me to admit that I wasn’t strong enough at that time to walk to the park. Take things one day at a time because you’re doing an amazing job!❤❤❤

@jjcgrass Жыл бұрын

Winnie should be in a preschool program, she is a big girl. Children are the cruelest creatures on earth. You need mommy time as well. When a six-year-old makes you cry because he has a mean mouth he needs to sit in time out, plain and simple. And Jenny you need thicker skin when raising children believe me. Who cares if your kids thinks your lazy again what matters is what you think and you do your best. They have programs where someone comes to your home to help out, and people learning to become caregivers.

Time to include them in the process a tiny bit more. Announce “Mom needs a short break” or some other statement when taking a break and “That really helped me, thanks for your patience” when you return. They will quickly learn to appreciate and accept those boundaries. You may even find it helps you as well. Own the weakness and need for breaks rather than slinking off to deal alone!

@annestep6741 Жыл бұрын

I am glad you told them they hurt your feelings. This is the way kids learn that what they do and say have consequences. Good first day. Maybe Winnie needs 1/2 day in a school for her age kids. She can get all the activities you have to do with her done at school and you can putter around doing little chores or just plain napping if needed. Little kids are exhausting, they never stop needing something or stop talking. It is hard. You do way more with them than I did when mine were little. Hope tomorrow is better.

@scrapper900 Жыл бұрын

Honey girl, I was exhausted just watching all you did today. I remember those small kid days and even coloring and playing play doh and dollhouses is a lot. Having to be constantly engaged and keeping little humans busy is so hard. My suggestion is, if it fits into the budget, get a college girl to come in and do some playing. You will be there and once the trust builds you can take a nap if you need to. Have her stay just an hour maybe two and just help not do it all. If you get too run down it’s not going to help you at all. I’m sorry your little one said what they said. Especially since it was a trigger for you. That was harsh. Out of the mouths of babes…I wish we were neighbors. I’d be there in a hot minute! ❤

Hi Jenny, glad your treatment is working. You should be happy about that and try to stop smothering Kyle. He eventually will wear down. He needs encouragement also as the caregiver also 😊

Agree! Kyle loves his family...and, his job as a “special ed teacher” 👏

I have schizophrenia and am on 30 pills a day to treat it and one side effects are severe fatigue and it breaks my heart when my teen daughters just don’t understand and look at me as lazy. So I feel your sadness but being open and honest with your children is the best way to help them understand ❤❤ much love to your family

Oh Jenny they are babes. Things come out of their mouths without a second thought. They have a huge adjustment to make again with Kyle not being around. Not having both parents entertain and cater to their every need is a monster. But they will learn to be patient and give you grace. There is absolutely nothing wrong with them being a little bored and having to self entertain for a time. Mommy is present and will join in the activities after a little breather. You are teaching your children empathy and understanding through this journey and those are qualities that we all need to help our children with. You did a wonderful job explaining to them about your feelings being hurt and by not ignoring the comment. Keep on mothering like you do. They are very lucky to have you and I mean an exhausted you too!
