You know, I get that you were super busy this weekend. And I know you had a lot going on, but you know, I am kind of feeling a little neglected this weekend. You know, I would like to maybe come first once in a while. I just kind of feel like furniture, you know what I mean." Housework is not and never will be self-care.
