I think it is fair to say that women find it hard to say no or to form boundaries and to prioritize themselves. When it comes to nutrition, what I see often happening is a mother taking the time to prepare great food to feed their child but not making enough for themselves and thus not eating enough, eating scrappy leftovers, or eating something not nearly as healthy. When it comes to calling in sick or taking care of ourselves when we are feeling ill, the same story is true.
