It is imperative to good parenting that you. as a parent, remembers to take time for yourself and for your relationship if you are lucky enough to be part of a parenting team. It is important that both parents get some individual "me" time, as well as "us" time to grow your relationship. You will be a much better parent if you are relaxed and feeling good about yourself. Finding the right balance of time for each of these things and still being there for your children can be tricky to maneuver in our hectic day to day lives. This can be particularily challenging for the single parent family. If you are a single parent, find another single parent who has children of similar ages to yours and take turns watching each others children so that you each have the opportunity for that all important "me" time.
Keep in mind how important down time is to your well being annd the quality of care that you are able to give your children. Don't just let this time slip away because you are too busy. Take the time, it is that important.
