Oh I know to look after myself. You can't fill a cup from an empty pot. My partner sometimes forgets that though.

One plus side of being a parent. I now understand that, even though I was a little selfish shit at times, he loved me and so took the burden happily.

My minion can be demanding too, but it just makes me happy that I can make their world as good as possible. The point they understand the burden they cause, is the point they also give up childhood. I aim to put that off as long as possible. I will keep their sky blue and full of eternal sunshine for as long as I can.

And to clarify, I'm not coddling them. By the time they need to face the world, I'll hopefully have them trained to the point the world will fear their coming!
