There's the old sayin, "If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy", but how true is it? In a sense, it's more truthful than you realize, but not the way you think. Mama spends so much time doing for others, she leaves little if any time for herself. Mama constantly, selflessly sacrifices, and usually ends up tired, resentful, unfulfilled, etc. So, mama probably ain't truly happy, and therefore, no one else in her family is truly happy either; not what such a cute saying was intending!
You've watched enough Oprah to know it's true, mamas - you, for the sake of your family, need to put yourself first... at least some of the time (and no guilty feelings afterward). Maybe use the holidays to jump start showing yourself some love!
