60。 I opened the door. Where are you going, Mom? my elder son asked me. And his little brother asked, Can we e, too? I39。m going for a coffee, I answered. And no, you can39。t e. Then I ran away before they could say something. But the guilt(內(nèi)疚的) feelings slowly went away. Being a mom is hard work. There39。s always something new to do to make my kids happy. Sometimes, I need to do something just for me. It teaches my kids an important lesson: I matter, too. I know parenting articles often tell us it39。s OK to take time for ourselves. But it39。s so much harder to walk the talk. Of course, we should put ourselves first sometimes. And not just when we are sick. I39。m talking about putting ourselves first in other ways. For example, tell the baby that after thirty minutes of reading to them, you are going to read your own book or eat at your favorite restaurant. These selfish moments are good ways to teach our children that we are important too. When you ask my kids What does mom like? They can answer with some of my interests and favorite things: reading books, watching movies, taking care of animals and them. They often see me do the things I enjoy, so they understand me and would stay with Dad. This understanding is good for our children. She39。s a mom shouldn39。t be the only way your child describes you. If it is, it39。s time to be a little selfish, Moms. (1)Why did the woman leave her children quickly?

Right, so you were driving at a speed of about 50 km/h? he asked again. I was a little annoyed because I felt he wasn39。t listening to me carefully. So I shouted, No! I was going about 55 km/h. OK, if that39。s the way you want it, the officer simply replied.
