Dreamland98 Of course you are. Just also take care of yourself, that's the thing.
I did not appreciate nor did I agree with that idiom, or it's a metaphor (cliche maybe by now), which I heard, when my child was very little and I was in school F/T.
And this saying goes something like this:
If you and your baby or child are in an airplane, and there is some problem and the oxygen mask drops down, and there is only one mask: Who do you give it to, yourself or your baby?
I immediately knee-jerk answer, is of course my baby!
And they said, well, okay, but if you faint or whatever, who then will be able to take care of your baby?
Alright. I got what they were trying to convey.
Ideally, we'd share the oxygen (and I have seen it on TV).
But, that metaphor has merit.
If we are depleted we are grumpy and short.
If we give to ourselves, we are better, peaceful and we have more to give to our child.
