Log InAre You A Sacrificial Lamb - by Editor
Most women tend to lose themselves in their family, and in their eagerness to make sure everything and everyone is well taken care of, they lose sight of their own needs. In your scale of priorities, are you last on the list
How often do you find yourself giving up the best portion of the pie to your husband and children, while you settle for the crumbs Sure, you do it out of love, but will your children suffer if they don't get that piece What's worse is seeing how little importance you place on yourself. This will automatically lead them to follow suit, and although they will certainly love you, they may not take you or your needs very seriously in the future.
Why do women so often believe that they cannot be good mothers unless they sacrifice something for their children and husband
Yes, no one is denying the fact that when you are a new mother you will need to sacrifice sleep, work and time for your baby. But once your child is a little older and of school going age, there is really no need to continue being the sacrificial lamb. Respect yourself if you want others, including your family members to respect you. No doubt earning the love of your family and keeping them together is topmost on your list of priorities, but sacrificing yourself is not the only way to get them to love you. And while missing a hot chapatti every now and again may not seem like a big deal to you, in the long time all these little sacrifices will add up, and will drain you physically and emotionally.Sacrifice
A need to sacrifice for others shows a need to be loved and needed for what we can do for others, and not for what we are. This stems from a lack of self-esteem. Be strong, have your own agenda, and certainly help out when needed and when you can spare the time without allowing yourself to be walked all over. In addition, a mother with a low sense of self worth is definitely not the best role model for kids, especially for daughters.Help
Don't rush to do everything for everyone. Again, if there is a real need, by all means, do help. For example, loving relatives who live out of town may require that you do certain work for them every now and again. If you refuse because you are too busy with your own life, don't be surprised if your relatives are not around when you need them. But doing something for someone in need is different from doing your child's homework, cleaning his cupboard or helping your sister wrap all her diwali gifts when she didn't help you wrap yours!Time
Keep some time aside for exercise, and don't let anyone encroach on this time - unless there is an emergency. The cook taking off does not count, especially if you have grown children that are very capable of pouring themselves a glass of milk and some cereal in the morning while you do your Padmasana.In your eagerness to look after your family don't forget you first need to look after yourself. Only then will you be mentally and physically fit to contribute positively to your children's upbringing.

Comments: There is a very thin line between sacrificing and being there for your husband and children when they need you. It is here where most women fail to identify thier role and overdo it or underplay it, confusing themselves and thier folks at home. As a result husband and kids dont know what to expect nor do we get the satisfaction of having given up so much for them.

Comments: The idea is managing your time well and setting up a routine where you have enough time for yourself as well as your husband and children. Sometimes, it is ok to put your feet up an let your children do things for themselves or your hubby can chip in. It brings the family close because all are sharing tasks, it makes your children independent and respect your time and the woman doesn´t always feel like she is the ´martyr´ in the house.
