Discussion forum for parents in Australia

Join us this Friday 15th December @ 8pm (AEDST) for Ab Fab Friday's!!!
This week's topic is 'What do you do for self care?'
In our busy and often stressful lives as parents it's easy to fall into the trap of forgetting to look after ourselves. I'm sure we can all relate! The promotion of self care is something I value about ReachOut, so tonight I'd like to focus on us as mum's and dad's, and the things we do to take care of ourselves.
If self care is a new term to you, come along and find out what it's all about and ways you can introduce it into your parenting protocol!
@Zoesplace, @the_ant65, @Mum25, @Chalke5, @motherbear, @Moonlight, @Tired1, @MelissaJane,
@Nick-RO, @Goldsparrow we'd love to see you here!
How do I take part?
Simply come back to this thread at 8pm Friday night and start chatting!

Yay! But spoiler alert - my answer could be taking part in this!

Haha! No spoiler, I tagged you hoping you might be free @Nick-RO
I only started the thread today, so hoping we'll have some other members too! I've been a bit slack on it, tut, tut.
See you soon!

I'm going to pop my head in but just going out for a celebratory meal with mr 12 for making it to high school - his choice is parmis - anyways - I might be a little late.

Congratulations to your son, that's awesome!! Parmi sounds good - yum! He has good taste I'm so happy for you both.
You've inspired me to take my daughter out one night too - finishing year 10 and getting into tafe is a big deal for us!
High fives all 'round!!

Hey @Chalke5, it's great to have you here! How have you been?

@Zoesplace is away tonight so won't be joining us - she's 'self caring' at the moment, doing something she's wanted to do for years which is awesome.
What do you do for self care @Chalke5?

Hi @taokat just thinking about what I do for myself and really I never think about it. I like routine and try to stick to things but never really give what I need a thought. Not sure how to tackle it. Any suggestions.
