Heather Sheppard+FollowIgnore your own health is not sacrificing for your kids! You're being selfishI knew a person who postponed a heart operation because they wanted to pay for their daughter's wedding. They had no money issues at all. They passed away just a month before the wedding. Their daughter had the beautiful day they wanted for her, but they weren't there to see it. I am convinced this is the biggest mistake a parent can make -- so many parents ignore their own health because they think it's a noble sacrifice for their kids. They put off doctor's appointments and treatments to save money for something else. It's not a sacrifice to ignore your health. It is the most irresponsible thing you can do for your children. They do not need your money or your gifts as much as they need you. The best thing you can give your kids is your presence. #Parenting #HealthFirst #FamilyHealth #LifeLessons #TakeCareOfYourself #Health #FamilyRelationships #Family 10Share
