Making a list

So my therapist asked me to make a list of all the things I do during the day that are other people, then make a list for everything I do for myself excluding hygiene. Said that didn't count.

the list was very long for everyone else's needs. And I had like 2 things I do for myself on mine. He said this was something we needed to work on. I put everyone's needs first. He even laughed at me because hamsters list was longer than mine.

Just a thought in a way isn't taking care of you kids a form of self love ? I mean even if you spent every waking hour on your kids none of that time is wasted. Reading posts about people caring for their kids gives me hope for this world .I spent my childhood in foster care ,i would have sold my soul for a dad like you.

@kodiac yes but he wants me to focus on self care for myself. I put everyone's needs in front of mine. I don't take time for me, but honestly I don't think it's bad but it seems others feel I need to take better care of my needs as well.
