Most dads do not need to be reminded of taking some time off for themselves then why do moms need to negotiate for some 'ME' time?
Most dads do not need to be reminded of taking some time off for themselves then why do moms need to negotiate for some ‘me time’?
I am a mother myself and an avid exponent of mothers taking care of themselves and getting some ‘me time’. We often see that mothers either think they’re not worth it, or they think that they are too needed at all times to carve out some time for themselves.
Between jobs, spouses, children and other commitments, it is hard to get some spare time for yourself in the day. But isn’t that unfair?
Taking care of yourself is the most important gift you can give yourself, your children, and your family. Putting others’ needs first might work for a while, but eventually, it won’t.
And it is more than likely that it might have negative consequences on you physically, mentally, and emotionally. Health problems, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues are just some of them.
And trust me these issues will not only have an adverse effect on you, but also on your children. Therefore mothers take care of yourself and give yourself a time-out!
Just last week a Facebook post from Bunmi Laditan, a mother went viral on social media. This post is particluarly important in the light of how important it is for mothers to take some time off from their children, husband and other commitments in order to maintain their sanity. Take a look at the post here:

People say that women are the greatest enemies of women. I vehemently disagree. It is the patriarchal mindset that makes women believe in the wrong ideology.
The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
It is shameful that in today's world too, women are abused and even killed for giving birth to a girl, and the infant's life is also of no value.
Trigger Warning: This deals with domestic violence, suicide, and violence against women, and may be triggering to survivors.
I am so glad that the esteemed courts are now giving the much-required verdicts regarding certain ideologies that were not at all entertained earlier. I mean we all have studied this much biology at our school level and it is our duty (our generation) to educate our elders about it.
Why someone have to lose a life to bring such awareness to the society. Delhi High Court gave this judgement concerning a case that filed by the deceased daughter’s parents against her in-laws. She committed suicide as she was harassed and tortured for dowry and giving birth to two daughters.
