I made a social media post about filling your own cup and it got me thinking about the importance of taking care of ourselves as parents as much as we do with our own kids. Later that afternoon, I coincidentally, stumbled upon the scientific reasoning behind why filling up your own cup is vitally important since we oftentimes succumb to the pressures parents face to be perfect parents while putting our needs second, if not totally unmet due to excessive levels of sacrifice parents subject themselves to.
