6 Tips To Deal With The Mental Load Of Motherhood
Here’s a small sampling of the questions that go on in the brain of a parent each day (best read without pause as stream of consciousness): I wonder if my kids’ socks still fit? Do we have enough formula to last the month? I wonder if my code for the formula discount still works? When is picture day again? Oh, sh*t, it’s tomorrow — okay, what is my child going to wear? Wait, I’m down to just a couple of diapers? What time did my son wake up? And when does he need to go down for a nap again? Ugh, why isn’t he napping? Is he going through a leap? Do I need to shift his bedtime because he didn’t nap? Wow, is it time for wine yet [clock strikes noon]? Ah, the mental load of parenting.
