What do dad's do in this situation? Would they sacrifice pie for fatherhood??? Doubt it...but as a woman I do think society still have this archaic way of thinking that when she has a child she completely loses herself, and today's modern women shouldnt FEEL like that at all! I love all the other options to the solution of the pie made for 4 people...make the pieces smaller or sneak off and buy your own pie! Great perspective I love it!

For the second servings, I will do without if their isn't enough for everyone and I am fine with that. I don't need to eat seconds anyway. There are times when I warm up leftovers for the next days lunch and we don't have enough for everyone so I will divide it up between kiddo and her dad. I'll have some salad or something small instead. To me, its not a big deal. I love cooking for them and when they eat what I cook, I know they are getting a good meal. <br /><br />As for the quote, I don't really read it as a mother just throws her hands in the air and gives up, not giving to herself, but I see the quote as a mother is so loving, generous and caring that she will often give freely to others, even if that means she has to do without - whether its food, or if she has to go without new shoes for a few months so her kids can have new ones for school.

Meanwhile, my dad just stumbled in half asleep!<br />So there's definitely being too much like the above description.<br />Maybe I'm too much opposite it but if I don't get enough food and sleep, how can I care for these kids well?Tamara Camerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06004696358354444561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12565507.post-84455807497500686192015-01-15T16:35:46.926-05:002015-01-15T16:35:46.926-05:00Hmmm....interesting take on that little quote.

Nevertheless I think consistently trying to think of others before our ourselves is a good thing - good for children, too. But - haha- today my little boy wanted the last scone, the one I had been eying for myself.
