Accepting less than you deserve has three bad results. First, you're sending the wrong message to your kids. You're at once spoiling them and teaching them that one day, like you, they'll have to set their basic needs aside. That's right - they'll be too selfish now and too selfish later. Second, you're damaging your own self-esteem. You'll never find inner contentment if you're constantly denying yourself. Finally, if you're always selfsacrificing, your kids won't see you as deserving of comfort and fullfilment.
