(NECN) - For many, mothers life has become an increasing and endless cycle of "I wants," and "I needs," responsibilities and demands. But with Mother's day just around the corner, now may be one of the best times to step back, take a look at that cycle, and see what you can do to make things not only better for yourself, but your family as well.

Katrin Schuman and Susan Callahan are the authors of the book "Mothers Need Time-Outs, Too". They discuss some things that the average mother can do to make life just a little bit less crazy.
