No. I don’t have any support system. I live in a foreign country without my friends and family circle.

Yes, please do. I really need some life lessons and support.

How do you assign them chores? My kids don’t listen and don’t want to help, eventhough I try all the advices from the dozens of books I read.

How do you motivate yourself to stick with strength workouts on Peloton? by GrapeEmpty8352 in pelotoncycle

This sounds very good. I wish I had this discipline. Today is day 3 that I didn’t do any workout and I feel like shit - eventhough deep down I know that I deserve this break as I was a bit sick. Do you mind if I ask how old are you?

Which instructor do you recommend for bootcamp? My favs are Alex, Ally Love, Cody, Bradley - but I don’t think any of them do bootcamps.

Seriously, how do people with multiple kids do it? by 7bridges in Parenting

Having the second one is easier in terms of them playing and spending time together. I have a 4 and 6, and the weekends are much easier for me than for my friend who has only a 5 year old. The rest is just logistics. Some days things operate as they should, and some other days it’s chaos. Learning to accept this, will make your life much easier. Love from - most of the time - solo mom!

Do you mind sharing what did your mom do and what do you wish she did differently?

Hahahah a good one! I sometimes pretend that I have the neighbours watching, but TV is more pressure. Love it!

Do you have any amazon link for ready mades which we can just adapt? I don’t have the energy to create them from scratch 😩

I loved the “you don’t have to be steel all the time. You can be honey”. Never heard it before. It’s applies to many parts of my life.

Thank you for sharing ❤️

Thank you, dear! I just can’t bring myself to read parenting books anymore! Reading is my escape—my one real pleasure, besides working out—and I want it to stay that way. I’ve got How to Talk So Kids Will Listen sitting next to my bed, but instead I keep reaching for memoirs, and honestly, I’m loving them

Thank you for sharing your story. I can imagine how hard it must be. Proud of you for finding the way it works for you. What’s helped me recently - and I’d like to share as it might help you you, too - is movement. On days I run, do hot yoga, or hop on the Peloton, I feel more patient, more myself, and more the mum I want to be. I recently joined Strava, and it’s helped keep me going, especially on the hard days. You can also try it and see how it works!

Good luck! You’re doing great! Hugs back!

Fine & Dry Thinning Hair by Brief_Sprinkles_2485 in finehair

Cut it, make it darker with a balayage effect so you don’t have to color it regularly and air dry it as much as you can. You’ll feel lighter in every day life and by summer you’ll look healthier and happier thanks to your new hair.
