Let’s get real here – the mental load that most moms or the default parent carry can be overwhelming. In my family, that’s me.
My husband works so hard for us, and I appreciate that more than anything but the mental load that most moms carry is a lot.
When is the next dentist appointment? Did the kids outgrow their clothes, which changing seasonal clothes over is a job in itself! When is sports practice? It’s spirit week…do we need to get something for it? The list goes on…
Being a mom is the most rewarding thing I have done in my life, and I don’t take the title as mom lightly. I am very grateful I get to be their mom and be their safe space and, on most days, their favorite person haha.
I saw a quote somewhere that says, “you are your child’s childhood”, which sticks with me because we are their foundation for their permanent memories and sense of home.
If you’re feeling like the mental load is daunting and overwhelming, you are not alone. It’s only a season in life. Focus on the important things and don’t sweat the small stuff. Not everything is an emergency, try to enjoy your kids while they are small. Time goes by so fast!
