Can't remember the last time I did something just for me

Between work and kids and house stuff I haven't had a real break in like 2 years. My wife suggested I take a day to myself and I felt guilty the whole time. Came home early because I thought something would go wrong. This is ridiculous right? How do you guys actually practice self care without feeling like you're abandoning your family?

This one hits home. I realized I couldn't even remember the last hobby I had. Started with just 30 minutes on Saturday morning to myself and it's been a lifeline. Your kids actually benefit when you're not running on empty.
Real talk - if you don't take care of yourself first, you can't show up for your family the way you want to. It's not selfish, it's maintenance. What used to be your thing before kids?
