Self-care DON'T exist for MOMS!

I say this loosely because I absolutely love being a mom, I am purely dedicated as a mother, but for me to continue on being all that I can be for them, I have to be just as dedicated to myself and well-being. Being a Mom is hard, our emotions are so intense and we find ourselves lost in our children and the day to day care taking of them, that we neglect who we are. At least that is what it’s been like for me.
How we parent and how effectively and efficiently we do it, is a form of self care. The saying work smarter not harder is very true in the aspect of parenting. We can help ourselves make parenting easier with small changes and intentions. It’s not just about alone time, although that is important too! Self-care may not look the same for everyone but it is possible. Your quality of life matters too, make sure you are taking care of your heart, mind and health, mamas!
Happy Mother’s Day!

When you have a child on the spectrum you loose yourself. You are so wrapped up with the child’s needs and wants you forget about you. There should be more programs for not only child on the spectrum but their caretakers as well. We will don’t not take a backseat….we aren’t even in the car.

I absolutely agree! I wish there were more resources for us as parents, especially mother who are at home with them all day. It takes a toll on us and if we don’t make time for our health, we will diminish 💛

I am a single mother to an autistic, non-verbal, self injurious violent teenage boy. And i literally have never ever had any help with him. I have been raising him completely alone with absolutely no breaks. And my health has definitely suffered because of it. I have no time and no energy for myself. And absolutely no peace of mind. Mothers in general are stressed out and sometimes overwhelmed. But the stress level of mothers of autistic children is much worse and much harder, especially if you are doing it alone. God help us all.

I am autistic and my mother is a single mother, I am an adult now, but what you are doing every single day is amazing and beautiful and so selfless. You are amazing, caring, thoughtful, beautiful and you hold a beautiful place in this world. If her has never told you... thankyou for being who he needs

I'm a mama, and both my daughter and I are in the spectrum. The way I got a daily break was that I found a gym that had childcare. I DID NOT work out. I needed rest. It was my time for self care, an uninterrupted shower, reading at the jacuzzi, a nap near the pool. I did that five or six days a week so I could be fresh for my girl and homeschool her too. Hang in there mama!

I have an autistic daughter who was very like Mikko at her age. Speech and occupational therapies saved our lives, and with Medicaid, it’s incredibly affordable. Try to avoid forcing her to do things like make friends at the park, she’ll get there. Our therapy office offers social groups, and after 2.5 years of attending them, my daughter is finally starting to play with others. Not play near or next to them, but with them. It takes time and effort, but it is possible. And no, you don’t have to sacrifice you time, but you may have to readjust when it happens. I tend to wake up early to work out, then stay up for a bit after the kids are in bed to craft and do things for myself. Once she’s in school, it will get easier.

@khalilahwanamaker742 2 ай бұрын

When you need a break never feel guilty for taking one, people forget that a mother a parent is an entire person with needs outside of their children and often make a parent feel guilty for needing time from their kids. To keep yourself sane take a break when needed that way when you return you can give your all to your kids.

“Over-functioning for them”, this hits hard. I definitely did this. I wish I had heard Temple Grandin’s lectures when my child was young, I highly recommend these. If I could do it again I would have sought more outside interventions and support.

As moms and/or wives, we do often times find ourselves losing ourselves, and it is absolutely ok to set boundaries and start pouring into yourself, too as you pour into your husband and children. Just like a vehicle, we run out of gas, too and need to be refueled, otherwise we'll find ourselves broke down in various ways. Take time for yourself in the midst of being a wife and a mom. ❤

Where does MONEY for a personal assistant or housekeeper come from?😳 I will be 63yrs old with a 5yr old who is on the spectrum and I STAY EXHAUSTED! He is semi-verbal. I have a mother who has dementia but still knows my name. I have depression, hypertension, fibromyalgia, and stay angry with the world as a whole. I can barely HALFWAY keep a clean house, and feed him a decent meal! Last night he had a tuna sandwich a banana & Pepsi. It was either that or hear the screaming for 3 hrs! My dinner was the crust off his sandwich with 1 teaspoon of tuna because I knew he'd want more. Yes money is also extremely tight in my home. There is no help on the way

When my kids with ASD were little, we had playgroups at parks with our kids. Then we had weekly Mom's Night Out where our spouses had the kids. Also, find a hobby or people you can do an interest with EVERY WEEK. I joined a community music group 20 years ago and still do it. Also, if there is seasonal volunteering you can do, like volunteering once a week to teach adaptive ski lessons. It might be something that you want to LEARN how to do, too, like water colors. Summer is tough because they are home from school. Participate in special ed summer school if you can, and plan outings you can do as a family. If you can, bring a PCA.

I am proud of you for realizing this while you and your babies are still young. This will definitely help those parents who struggle with the guilt that self care can bring. I was a single mother of 5 who believed that as long as my babies were good then I was good. I wasn't taught to take care of myself, doctors would tell me I needed to but my only focus was my babies. They are all adults now and I still struggle making healthy boundaries. I make sure that my daughter takes care of herself, as much as my grandson.

I think it will be better once you’re able to have Mikko in OT and PT several times a week. You can use those times to go do something for yourself. Even if it’s just going to a coffeehouse and reading a book for enjoyment and entertainment instead of how you can help her advance. You have to have time for yourself that doesn’t involve anyone else’s work or needs, too. Going to get a mani/pedi every two weeks is a great little something special for yourself that’s relaxing and you don’t have to concentrate on anything but relaxing while doing it. Or go shopping for yourself. Whatever it is, utilize the time you are given to do something that only benefits yourself. Happy Mother’s Day, love!!! ❤️❤️❤️

This isn't specific to mothers or women. Caretakers are very often overwhelmed, with and without help, due to the necessary care needed. It can be draining and tiring, whether autism, severe developmental diseases, physical or sensory deformities, Alzheimer's or dementia, and many other neurological issues, etc. that require a lot of energy. Everyone needs a break to care for themselves so they can continue to care for others. We can't be unwell and expect that not to effect our level of care. Some parents, relatives, guardians have admitted they don't have the capacity to be an appropriate caregiver. That's hard, but better than the alternative of poor care and lack of attention or worse. We give, but we also have needs that affect that cycle to give well.

As a mom of 6 I get it I can’t remember the last time I had a self care moment! We never get a break from being a mom however it’s much needed! I had begun to lose self to and found myself frustrated with them and life in general! This is not how God intended it to be and even with a husband it seems to be enough because we still take the heavy load! But what is much needed is a moment to sit and talk to God that is where your peace and clarity and strength comes from. It sounds Cliché stop but it’s not. We cannot be the best version of our selves when we are stressed and our cup is empty! So let him fill your cup and give u that dose of strength needed to keep going mommy! You are the most kind sweet and loving person I have seen on here dealing with that and as a parent with a non verbal 1 year old and have other children, 7 month old 20 16 15 and 8 my day never ends! But I’m praying for you and that you get the peace rest and time you need to be the best version of yourself so your marriage and children won’t fail! You got this momma!!

When raising children, you are operating in a world of the unknown. As a parent we have to take the time, extend grace, forge ahead with patience and TLC.

As parents we will make mistakes, we have trial and tribulations, but we should never give up. Mommy you are doing an awesome job parenting. The reward is when you see those milestone accomplishments. Mikko is doing a phenomenal job with her development.

I disagree with setting boundaries with you quoted, Were we end and were our child or children because we supposed to live and grow through and with our children as they do it's not so bad, Don't look at being a mother in that perspective, just don't forget to inhale and exhale we get more breaks and take care of ourselves more than what we give ourself credit for!!😊❤ You got this Mom and your household got this stay blessed!! 🙏🎉

Hi Precious, Thank you for sharing your story and being vulnerbale. As a mom myself, it is easy for us to get lost into our role because we are trying to make sure we are meeting our children's needs. You are doing an amazing job woth Nikko because she making wonderful progress. Remember, give yourself grace and start a self care regimen. In addition, I am a special education teacher and work with school aged children on the spectrum. I was wondering if there are any early intervention programs or school programs in your state that Nikko can attend. Have a Happy Mother's Day!

When my children were very young, one of our kids teacher’s saw that I was upset. She sat me down and told me that being a wife and mother you are expected to do more. I did it all without asking for my husband’s help (I regret that know). My husband was the main breadwinner and I was a stay at home mom although I took on alteration part-time.Being married and raising children should be a shared responsibility. I admire your patience. Happy Mother’s Day!

I have a niece that have a autistic severely son. She doesn’t have a lot of time for herself if any between him and working and Miko was not in school so just a simple thought and I honor you and respect you my sister find a daycamp for her or some school setting for your kids even in the summer, the older ones can go away. I don’t know if you feel comfortable with separation but find places thatwill give you that opportunity to spend time with yourself. If you have family member or someone that can come in and assist and it is a lot and I’m not minimized anything that you going through in fact you’re in my prayers.❤❤❤❤❤

When it comes to ‘doing too much’ for your child, as an ASD mom with an older kid, I can see the real pride my kid exudes when doing a task they worked to learn. Little chores like putting silverware away take some time to teach, first hand over hand, until then just prompting, but give my kid the satisfaction of helping out as well as independence. You can see learned helplessness everywhere with typical kids but with autism, it’s harder to undo & important to protect against hobbling their spirits about what they’re capable of.

You are an amazing, intelligent and articulate woman with great patience and empathy. When you sometimes need a break and it just isn't possible, have some special things just for such times. I have a special tea which I make in a beautiful china teapot, cup and saucer and some sort of treat, e.g. nice biscuits, you get the idea and then I take 30 minututes and I read while spoiling myself with my treat. Your husband could take over for the half an hour while you lock yourself away, or if someone can help with your daughter go and have a massage, drive to a lovely walking trail where you don't take the children. You will think of something, and none of this has cost money unless you like very expensive biscuits😊

Omg i just said that to my family. But they dont understand! I have 3 kids, one boy who is Almost 16 years old. He has adhd and dyslectia. And i have a boy/girl twin, who turnt 6 this past february. The boy from the set of twins, has KDM5C-SYNDROOM and has only 1 kidney. He is nonverbal. Only speaks few words. I turn 35 october 11th. Sorry for my bad pronounce, im from the Netherlands! But yeah its a struggle. I never found time for mezelf. Plus i just dont trust no stragers, even family around my nonverbal son. But yeah we all need a break! 😢❤ i forgot about myself sinds i had my twins. I knew it would be hard, but never thought it wouldt be like this. I have no time for meself. Even with the help of my baby's father, while he works. I just never have me time. Always busy, planning and carring for my family. Nobody understands. Thank you for your video's!! You learn me so much! Mommy power! ❤
