‘Mum, can you sign this?’ We have barely entered the house from school pick-up, and my son eagerly pulls out a permission slip from his bag.
Whilst reassuring him I will sign it, he manages to source a pen, prodding me for a signature. I scan over the note; it’s an upcoming excursion… “Sure, I’ll sign it!”
Signing permission slips is easy when it comes to the kids! However, the world of motherhood often sees mums signing the invisible permission slips, of putting everyone else’s needs first and experiencing ‘mother guilt’ when it comes to self-care.
