You know, you CAN have both - you can be a good mom who puts her kids first, AND you can start creating a life for yourself.

Remember, you need to model for your kids what a successful adult life looks like - including adult friendships and social life.

Also you need to create a life for yourself so that when your kids are grown, you're not that clingy mom who hasn't got anything else in her life but her kids.

Living well IS the best revenge. Get out there and LIVE your dreams!
