Just like everyone else would say, no doubt children are gift from God and a wonderful blessing to parents, asking about my opinion about giving priority to my me-time over my children?, Now I have to speak like a father even though am not, with utmost sincerity it may be almost impossible prioritising my me-time over my children, my reason?,
Firstly; Because my children will be all I have to live for (though my wife inclusive 😄), children needs parental care which goes a very long way for their mental well-being, as a matter of fact parents will always be the first love of their children, so why won't I prioritize them over my me-time.
Secondly; children on their own can't get alot of things done by themselves (like education, choosing the right path of life)unless they are guided by a parent or guardian which were parental role comes to play again,
Thirdly; children always learn and emulate from their parents. as a good father which I will like to be, I want to teach my children things they can't learn from school, and for me to do it I need to prioritize them over my me-time, hope you get the point now?..
No doubt, it's true that as a parent I need to take out times for myself but not to prioritize it over my children, not at all...
Thanks for reading... #cotw
I respect your opinion, I personally feel we must take out some time for ourselves because if we are happy, its easier for us to keep our children happy. But yes, children need attention because they are dependent on us and can't do almost anything on their own for a long time.
Congratulations to the winners and special thanks to @sugandhaseth for keeping this contest running, I'm most grateful.
Please keep it up and we will continue to encourage you with our replies.
This is a wonderful question, even though I'm not a parent yet but I would like to air my view.
My children should be the best thing that has happened to me in my marriage. They bring forth fulfillment, joy, happiness and equally blessings to their parents.
So Everything I have and live for is because of them.
Now because I cherish my children alot, I'd like to give them the best I can from their daily needs to education and so on.
I'd focus on them because they are the future I'm hoping for at this moment - I'd invest my time on them to see that they are well trained and useful to both myself and the society at large then I can be proud enough to say that I've really done well for myself and family.
So my opinion is to prioritize my children over my me-time because at this point in my life they are what matters the most, their success is my success and their achievements are equally mine and I'm of the opinion that if you take care of your children they will inturn take care of you as you age.
Thanks

Question: What is your opinion about giving priority to your Me-Time over your children?
Children are gift from GOD and a blessing to each household, any home that exists without children is incomplete, children are love in each family and one of the reasons for a successful married home.
Taking of an individual, I know everyone has their duties to play in the family, like the mother helping the child to be grown with good morale and the father help the child in tuition and putting food on the table for the family.
Moreover, As a father or a Mother, your time to yourself is still crucial and at such, it wouldn't be bad if setting some moments for your self.
So I think, setting some times for yourself is good so as not to get bored and tiring of anything, everyone deserves Freedom and it wouldn't make any Sense if a man or woman give all of his time to their children and up to the point that he / she refusing to attain to others life relevance matters, for Instance, if you were to go for work, how would you have done it ?
If you are always attached to your child or children.
And if you are the type that sell in a shop or you are doing business of your own
how would you have done it, when you are always attached to them, so it clear that devicing sometimes for yourself is necessary.
If maybe your child was a baby, can not relax on it own, it is advisable you get a nanny for him or her.
Do as to give you the time you need in making others priorities Achievable.
Thank you for Reading.

High five to you for this.
Thank you so much
I think we shouldn't think less of our children, giving time to our children's is all a mother or father should do, when you don't give them time, who else would do it, you as their earthly God should make sure that nothing took your instincts away from your children.
Give more time to your children and set a little to yourself so as to give your children the kind of love they deserve
#cotw
Yes, a little should be ok till they are young and then may be later we can have more time when they grow independent.
That is right, all Humans matters to one another.
A big thank you to @sugandhaseth and congratulations to the winners and all the other participants.
Cheers.
What is your opinion about giving priority to your Me-Time over your children?
Now I'm not a mother but I'm still going to answer the question anyway😅.
First of all, we all deserve some space from the world. I read a post here on hive and the writer clearly stated that she's a mother but she decided to take time out for herself that particular day and she enjoyed every bit of it.
With parenting comes a whole lot of responsibilities. You think of what your kids would eat, their basic needs, are they happy? And a whole lot of other things. It becomes your point of duty to care for your kids mostly and your spouse too. In the course of all these, one won't be thinking too much of oneself. Parenting entails selflessness.
Now, to answer the question, I'd say it's very good to set out a particular time or day for just yourself. You and you alone. No hindrances, no distractions, nothing. Do what you live doing, catch up on the things that need catching up. It helps to relieve stress.
Even at this stage in my life where I don't have as much responsibilities as a parent, I still take out time for myself and it always gets very soothing. A lot of people would see it a different way. Like she is keeping distance, she doesn't want to associate with us and they fail to understand that personal time is necessary once in a while.
Some people classify me-times as running away from responsibilities but that's not so. On the other hand your 'me-time' shouldn't take so long. You definitely always have to go back to your responsibilities.
I'd prioritize me-time any day any time. Do well to get back to your responsibilities more rejuvenated.
Thank you

I completely agree with you on this and this is my view too.. I need space and time for myself to breathe alone and do things just for myself. If I am not happy, I can't keep my family happy.
Yes that's very right. If you don't have the love within, you can't share it to the people around you.
