    The purpose of my channel is to document my cancer journey to look back on, and/or help anyone else going through anything similar. It is also to potentially help loved ones supporting those who are in this fight as well. This is also an easy way to update a lot of people at once. My main goal is to have footage of this journey for my husband and children to look back on. I originally created this channel as a sort of video diary for my
    family.
    Thank you so much for following along on this journey. Your love and support help me so much.

    Can I just say as a relatively healthy person, I felt EXHAUSTED just watching the time lapse video of you and Winnie! Jenny you killed your first day! Play doh, painting, coloring, playing with the dollhouse, reading, getting ready, doing hair, fixing meals…. GOOD LORD! Cancer or not, you are anything but lazy. I’m sure the kids didn’t mean it in a malicious way, prob just teasing. You got this!
    Ps- had to edit because I forgot you went to go get Ellis, after school snacks, then more play doh, more painting, and I’m sure there’s more we didn’t even see. You’re amazing and we all see it! Give yourself a pat on the back. Sending so much love your way! Sorry for the long comment 😬 lol

    I just want you to know that most stay at home moms do not entertain their kids all day. I would find some activities that they can do alone, like puzzles, building blocks, or a board game. Maybe you could ask your son to read a book while you rest on the couch. As a child, I remember playing in my room with my dolls for hours and my mom didn't have to play with me. Put some childrens music on and let them sing to you. You could do some things with them, but I would not play all day. If you really need a break, put on a good Disney movie for them at the end of the day. You made me tired just watching the video. I'm glad my kids didn't expect that from me.

    The kids are still younger, and really have no comprehension of the depth of your sickness and struggle. You are doing great. The only thing I would add, is to bring in free play, without needing a parent literally participating, and/ or a picked tv program which would give you a break, and have the kids start participating in helping out, small things like setting out dishes, cleanup, just little things to start teaching them how to help out, it will help you, and it's good for them.

    @Johanna040713 Год назад +9

    Thank you for your honesty. When others (including the kids and other close ones) can't see your illness, they don't always "remember" the exhaustion it causes. I have MS and have similar experiences. When I was, in the past during a relapse, unable to walk, everyone remembered that I'm ill. Now that there's no visual reminder like wheelchair, I sometimes feel people don't remember that my MS causes fatigue. You also look ablebodied and fine, even though you have exhaustion from cancer & treatment. You did well on your first day!

    Honey girl, I was exhausted just watching all you did today. I remember those small kid days and even coloring and playing play doh and dollhouses is a lot. Having to be constantly engaged and keeping little humans busy is so hard. My suggestion is, if it fits into the budget, get a college girl to come in and do some playing. You will be there and once the trust builds you can take a nap if you need to. Have her stay just an hour maybe two and just help not do it all. If you get too run down it’s not going to help you at all. I’m sorry your little one said what they said. Especially since it was a trigger for you. That was harsh. Out of the mouths of babes…I wish we were neighbors. I’d be there in a hot minute! ❤

  • @miarosie
    @miarosie Год назад +4

    The children really need to be encouraged to play alone, with each other and to develop a little independence etc. Should you ever need a hospital stay, even for just two days or so, they will struggle.
    The comment was rather rude, if i’m honest, showing a little lack of respect. We certainly never had our parents full on one to one attention and grew up in a very loving household full of well adjusted people who all had good, successful careers. It’s more than possible for independence and growth in a loving home. They need to be able to develop and to stop relying on you to entertain them constantly, especially when they are together. Even little Winnie can sit and play with a doll or toy alone - it’s vital for them to use their own imagination and not rely on yours.
    A child that learns this early is confident and takes on the day fully.
    They will also appreciate your time so much more.

  • @smann5915
    @smann5915 Год назад +3

    Jenny, looking after a little ones is exhausting enough! Having cancer treatments on top of it is almost too much!!
    I completely understand the guilt you feel when your children don’t seem to understand when you’re not well. When I was going through chemotherapy, I was determined to take my son to the park. We probably got a quarter there and I just couldn’t do it. I actually sat down on the grass by the side of the road because I was so sick from treatment. My husband had to help me home. I felt so incredibly guilty, and I could see my son was disappointed. We ended up resting for a bit and took a car ride to get ice cream.
    It was so hard for me to admit that I wasn’t strong enough at that time to walk to the park.
    Take things one day at a time because you’re doing an amazing job!❤❤❤

  • @CJ-qj3pk

    Oh you did such a good job. You never failed one time. I lost my hair thru my treatment of cancer. I always tried to have on something on my bare head. However inside the house it gets warm. Youngest son home still and would go in and out of the house to garage. His favorite pastime was working on his car. I kept putting the head covering on and when he left to go into garage, I would take covering off. He saw me doing this and said, "mom, you are the same Mom with or without your hair, leave the covering off". So see, as the children age they will become more empathetic.

    I am glad you told them they hurt your feelings. This is the way kids learn that what they do and say have consequences. Good first day. Maybe Winnie needs 1/2 day in a school for her age kids. She can get all the activities you have to do with her done at school and you can putter around doing little chores or just plain napping if needed. Little kids are exhausting, they never stop needing something or stop talking. It is hard. You do way more with them than I did when mine were little. Hope tomorrow is better.

And they have to be helping too by understanding mommy needs breaks but mommy is getting better everyday.

    Winnie should be in a preschool program, she is a big girl. Children are the cruelest creatures on earth. You need mommy time as well. When a six-year-old makes you cry because he has a mean mouth he needs to sit in time out, plain and simple. And Jenny you need thicker skin when raising children believe me. Who cares if your kids thinks your lazy again what matters is what you think and you do your best. They have programs where someone comes to your home to help out, and people learning to become caregivers.

    Time to include them in the process a tiny bit more. Announce “Mom needs a short break” or some other statement when taking a break and “That really helped me, thanks for your patience” when you return.
    They will quickly learn to appreciate and accept those boundaries. You may even find it helps you as well. Own the weakness and need for breaks rather than slinking off to deal alone!

    Even the best behaved kids are tiring at that age! Parenting kids is exhausting. Parenting kids alone when you are going through cancer treatment is triple the exhaustion. Please don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. You're an amazing mum. Truly, one of the best. 👌 If only they understood what they were saying 😥🧡 I was absent from my kids, similar age to yours, when I had cancer as I spent most of my time in hospital. I have since made up for it and my youngest doesn't even remember those times.

    Hi Jenny, glad your treatment is working. You should be happy about that and try to stop smothering Kyle. He eventually will wear down. He needs encouragement also as the caregiver also 😊

    I have schizophrenia and am on 30 pills a day to treat it and one side effects are severe fatigue and it breaks my heart when my teen daughters just don’t understand and look at me as lazy. So I feel your sadness but being open and honest with your children is the best way to help them understand ❤❤ much love to your family

    Oh Jenny, it has been a long, full, first day home alone with your children. Change is difficult, especially for the children. I'm sure you are ready, but take it one hour at a time. Sometimes the most innocent comment from our child will pull on our hearts. Ths is all new for your whole family. Go off and have a good cry if you need it. You all have been through so much. Hang in there!!

    One suggestion when playing with the kids and you're tired. Explain to them, moms a little tired I'm going to sit on the couch. This way they won't feel like you're leaving them or don't want to play anymore. Sending you all the love. 💜💜

    So many of us Mothers carry guilt. When in reality we shouldn’t. Your kids will learn that their Mum needs rests/sleep/relaxing and that is ok. They can play by themselves sometimes. You are a great Mother, be so proud of yourself. It can’t be easy with Kyle going back. You can’t do better than your best xo

    Jenny I was exhausted just seeing how much you are doing during the day. You are a hands on mom. I am truly astounded at how much work goes into raising kids.
    You’re such a magnificent mom. You’re so beautiful and I really believe happy endings happen because if it isn’t happy, it’s never the end. Just my silly thoughts. Much love to you and your family from mine. ❤️

    Oh Jenny they are babes. Things come out of their mouths without a second thought. They have a huge adjustment to make again with Kyle not being around. Not having both parents entertain and cater to their every need is a monster. But they will learn to be patient and give you grace. There is absolutely nothing wrong with them being a little bored and having to self entertain for a time. Mommy is present and will join in the activities after a little breather. You are teaching your children empathy and understanding through this journey and those are qualities that we all need to help our children with. You did a wonderful job explaining to them about your feelings being hurt and by not ignoring the comment. Keep on mothering like you do. They are very lucky to have you and I mean an exhausted you too!

You are not lazy Jenny, you are strong and brave, little kids don’t understand everything, try not to take it to heart, they obviously love you and the dogs love you too 😘. ❤️✌🏻🍎

    You are an amazing and Beautuful woman inside and out. You are giving your best and that ALL anyone can do. I have battles lupus and I remember when my son was young and I could barely move but as long as you love them which you obviously do, they will be happy.
    Try to be easy on yourself. Taking care of children is very taxing.
    I pray for your peace and health.❤❤❤

  • @donnacampbell6345
    @donnacampbell6345 Год назад +1

    It’s funny the way we want to keep life going as normally as possible for the kids when we are having cancer treatment and just struggling with the fatigue and misery of it all, but the result of this is that they don’t understand how rotten we actually feel. My heart hurt for you- no one, not even our partners, really understand the bone - deep exhaustion. As others have said - one day the kids will look back be in awe at how you kept going and did all you could to keep their lives stable and happy.
    AND - you played with them for most of the day 😮. I didn’t do that when I was 100% well. Just want to wrap you in a big hug ❤️

    Oh, sweet Jenny. I know it is hard to believe, but one day your kids will look back on this season of their lives and they will see without a doubt that you were not just lazy. They will see the beautiful, strong mom that you are. Even at your lowest points. Even when you need to take a rest while the kids play. Even when your emotions take over and it's hard to not be hard on yourself.... take a deep breath... you are an AMAZING mom. Hugs from Texas.
