Mommy cupcakes

Mommies and Daddies should never loose their identity when they have children. This is a very common error that happens in families today. As soon as the children come along the parent's life becomes the life of the child.

This should not happen. Children are an addition to your life because of your selfless act of giving a total stranger a home, your bodies. So, you are the teachers. The child should never run or dictate the direction of you life. That is contrary to nature and what God wanted for humans. Remember you represent the Godhead in your household.

The greatest love is not the parent-child relationship as this has vanity involved in it. You cannot hate you own flesh and blood. Love for a stranger is the greatest love thereby making the husband-wife relationship greater than the parent-child.

Disregarding yourselves for your child only creates a psychological environment that leads to depression and all kinds of other dysfunctions, whether you are aware of it or not. In a lot of cases divorce is the end result.

So always take personal time for your self and not just going out, because you are making the child the king of your castle if you do that. You need to incorporate it into your home life. Let the kid know that you are not here to serve them only. By doing this you are also creating healthy independence in your child. Let your child know that you are a person just like he/she is with your own activities. Let your child know that just because you are in the house does not mean you are free to cater to his every whim. Soon he will realize that Mommy has her own life too.

Train up the child in the way he should go and when he is old, like 7, he shall never depart from it.

Is your home under your control or do the kids have the run of it? To find out do this test:

When you are home get yourself busy doing some me activities like relaxing or reading a magazine you enjoy. Give your self a pedicure or anything that has nothing to do with the kids or the family as a whole. Then notice how they behave. Keep track of how often they ask you for something or ask you to do something for them. Do not give in to any demands or requests unless it's an absolute emergency. Now notice who loses their cool or seem incapable of functioning without you help.

Once you have made your assessment proceed on a plan for taking back your domain.

The best place to start is at home because most couples and parents are used to personal time outside the home. It may seem easiest to leave the kids at home but that just makes your home an unpleasant and stressful place to be. Why would you make the place you spend most of your time seem like a battle zone when compared to the places where you de-stress and enjoy yourself the most.

Here is a Mommy and Daddy only cupcake recipe that you can enjoy. You can let the kids have a little taste but that would be contradicting the point.

Enjoy!
