She used to be a juggler with so many roles
keeping all of them going. But that’s gone old.
Now she’s letting things go and letting them drop
as her family is all grown up and this has to stop.
She’s living life slow and looking after herself
letting them know they must do their share.
It should have been this way when they began their married life,
only, she didn’t know better and had ideas that weren’t quite right.
But things have changed and now she’s wise.
‘Not supporting their over-busy’ is a much better choice.
Some are still struggling with an over-busy that they’re unable to moderate. And so many others who have taken a conscious effort to slow their lives down.
A shout out to home managers who have been the driving force behind their families’ efforts to slow down and live life at a healthy pace.

Truth in verse! Well done!!!

This is accurate. I know so many women who are learning this lesson. One friend recently had a stroke, and afterwards, she proclaimed her family would have to learn to do things on their own!

For me what pushed a desire for the right to rest was the impact a surgical menopause for long term endometriosis had on my energy levels and multi-tasking ability in 2016. It took me 3 years and support from a counselor to restructure my daily workflow to suit a new average multi-tasking ability.
It has been a very rewarding process for all the family, and I now achieve more than double what I used to earlier due to high organization and reduced gender role expectations from family.
Thanks for commenting – the right to rest belongs to everyone.
