ATE: Feeling Mentally Checked Out, Parents? 💭

my mind never goes quiet you know. even during yoga practices i still think of "does she eat" "how many hours of sleep did she get" "did i forget something" "i need to come home real quick after this" it's sooooo exhausting it's like i've been trained and dont know how to reset!!!!!!!!!!

ah, being the main parent. Even when I finally get a break (like a spa or outing), the relief doesn’t last long. they ALWAYS need me, or I always come back to a worse situation before i left. finding a way to talk to my husband but it's not that easy

I keep scrolling on my phone late at night just to get some “me time” but then I’m even more exhausted next day. 😂😂😂 thats the only me time i can have. no backups for my daughter. how to break this cycle...

My partner works late most days, so I’m handling the kids alone after work. It just feels unfair sometimes. He gets to have life out there meanwhile I'm stuck at home... But he thinks that's just how it should be????

not my real name. Even with a helper at home, I still feel sooo drained. Not once this has led me and husband to had fights. He thinks i'm depressed... Why does it feel like nothing really helps

I keep telling myself “other parents also can manage, why can’t I?” but it totally breaks me. it gets me nowhere. how do I stop beating myself up like this???

I get triggered easily by small things my child does, but always regret afterwards 😭😭😭😭 like whining or refusing to eat. Is this a sign of burnout

I feel like I’m running on autopilot... go to work, fetch kids, cook, clean, repeat. How do I bring back joy in parenting 😭 idk who i am anymore

Sometimes I feel resentful that my husband gets more time to himself than I do. Its so unfair. but people around me say thats just how it should be

With both me and my spouse working full-time, the mental load feels never-ending... How can we share it more equally without constant arguments
