Where do I find the time to play with my kids?

I am a single mother working two jobs. When would I have time to play with my kids.

In life we do what is important to us or what we think we should do. Is is more important to have a clean house or to have happy kids?

I chose to play with my kids. Sometimes the house didn’t get clean for weeks. Oh well. To me my children and my relationship with them were more important. I got over what I thought my house should look like.

I have been a single mother working two jobs for 14 years. Sometimes I had to drag myself up to play with them, but to me making sure my kids knew I loved them and wanted to be with them was what was important.

Everything we do has a consequence. Now, as teenagers, they make sure to spend time with me. Because I chose to make my children important when they were young, they have chosen to make me important. It is so worth it.

So go get a book, coloring crayons’, building blocks, football, games, or make up and play with your kids. You will be so glad you did. After you have had fun come back and tell me what you did and how it went.
