What one mom -- and doctor -- wants you to know about parenting burnout:
By the time the school year came to a close, it was clear that I was in full-on parenting burnout. In one week alone, had managed to bring my older daughter an hour late to her final soccer game and missed the kindergarten registration sessions for my younger daughter.Due to your failure to pay the registration fee on time, your daughters no longer have spots in this year’s camp.”One parenting fail after another… even after I had spent so much time multi-tasking and “multi-planning.
But a funny thing happened as the balls started to drop. We realized, as a family, how to support each other through disappointment– which is difficult to say, but incredibly freeing. Our parenting fails helped us reorganize the invisible planning that I had been doing on my own for years.Written lists, not mental ones:
When I felt it was my sole responsibility to keep our ship afloat, I carried all the tasks in my head. It seemed like more work to write out all the tasks down versus just juggling them in my mind. Now my husband and I spend one night a week writing everything down on sticky notes and grab the tasks that we each want to manage. Dividing and conquering makes everything much easier, and now I can delete a task in my mind once it’s been handed over, which frees up some mental space.
