Many years ago I was overwhelmed with parenting special needs children, being the primary breadwinner, finding the needed resources for my sons, taking care of the house and everything else. Self-care was definitely on the back burner.
I was unsure how to parent my special needs sons.
It took me 45 minutes to calm their meltdowns so I could not plan for social event or volunteer activities because I never knew how my sons would be doing at the time. I wanted to teach my sons how to clean around the house but was hesitant because they put their hands in their mouths much more than typical kids. For laundry I would let them put the clothes in but I would pour the detergent to keep them safe.
My life was out of balance and after helping everyone else and working full time as the primary wage earner, I had little energy left for selfcare. I neglected my skin care and my clothing was not stylish. I looked older than my age. I had been shy since childhood and was afraid to stand up for myself when someone said something I did not like. I had spent the better part of a year in physical therapy and stretching at home for plantar fasciitis but my foot still hurt.
My sons were growing larger so their meltdowns were an increasing concern due to their physical strength. As they grew older I really wanted to teach them everyday tasks such as laundry and cleaning before they became adults. My lack of confidence in my parenting ability caused me to feel awful when other people judged my children's behavior. I risked burnout due to my lack of balance and self-care. Teachers and aids sometimes thought I was my children's grandparent which made me feel more self-conscious.
Then I discovered a plant-based cleaner that was non-toxic and so my sons could safely use it. I learned helpful methods to calm my sons in 60 seconds and overcome my own emotional obstacles. I was introduced to an amazing product that a lot of people are talking about lately. I had heard about it before but was skeptical. This time I knew the company who made it and trusted the source so I tried it.
Now I watch with pride as my sons pursue their dreams. My older is studying sociology at a small university which is a huge dream come true for us. My younger son is a budding Paleobiologist and who just started college. Both have benefited greatly from playing musical instruments.
I can plan my time because my sons can quickly calm themselves. Our whole house is a new level of clean and it's non-toxic too.
I have balanced my life and love self-care, I even have fun experimenting with non-toxic makeup.
Thankfully my life is dramatically different today. My confidence in myself and my parenting is at an all time high. I am happy to say I receive many comments that I look younger than my age now and that's fun!
