My husband said “write two things you would like me to get you next month” why can’t I think of two things that I want!? I can only think of the kids. I had the same issue trying to figure out what I would like to do for Hobbies. After months of figuring that out, it came down to I like to plant! Anyways… why is it so hard to figure this out when it should be easy!? 2 flipping items!!!
Because as moms our brains are programmed to think of others before ourselves as moms, hence, why you thought of the kids and why it’s hard to decide.
I’m the same way. Everyone knows I love cooking and it’s my passion so it puzzles me on why my family don’t just get kitchen or cooking things for me 
. This past Christmas I was told no kitchen or cookings things this year and I needed to think of gifts that I needed or wanted. They only gave me two weeks and on the last day I was able to decide even tho I truly didn’t know 
. Ask me today and I’ll still be the same cause idk.

Mum brain. But its good practice to put yourself first once and a while
I’ve always been this way but my husband always knows what he wants and keeps a running wishlist of links to thinks he’d like but doesn’t want to bother buying himself so when the holidays roll around I can also give it out to family members when they ask me what he wants. I recently started my own wish list and shared it with him (we collab on it with iPhone notes so we can add or delete from each others lists too).
