We Really Need To Talk About 'Depleted Motherhood Syndrome' - HuffPost

This is a UK article but burnout can happen to anyone anywhere.

“Setting boundaries, asking for help, and sharing responsibilities can be just as important as rest.”

It's not just 'mum stress', it's another territory altogether.

Happy New Year!

I find, while in the thick of things, it’s hard to stay grounded & keep in mind the bigger picture.

I need to remember to take a step back, take a breather, through out the day.

This helps me focus, be less stressed and gain clarity

Easier said than done, for sure
But hey, I’m trying

I don’t think I’m tired from doing too much.

I think I’m tired from deciding too much.

What to cook.
What to schedule.
What to prioritize.
What will do for my next career.
Who I’m becoming next.

It’s not the tasks.
It’s the constant evaluation.

Does decision fatigue hit harder in this stage?

Do you like pop music? Do you like lyrics with depth and feeling? Do you enjoy relatable lyrics?
If you answered yes, do your self a favor and download Andrew Messenger’s new album: For the Lost and Broken
The song Time is an absolute banger
You’re welcome

We are not a turkey trot family. And I’m ok with that
November 27, 2025 at 2:23 AM
This year we will have an elf. I have avoided it as long as I can. Whoever came up with making this thing popular and giving us one more thing to do during the Holiday season sucks

Bringing a new born to a chiropractor isn’t going to make them sleep through the night. It might give them a stroke though and cause permanent damage, but what do I know 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m a buy a costume because I’m not crafty type mom

Idk if it’s me or hormones or what but I am hating asap the gear we had for the first two kids. This high chair is annoying, the stroller is bulky and heavy and a pain to use and bring anywhere. The infant seat is super heavy

Honestly, I feel like cat 5s will no longer be rare in the next 5 years or so

We really are in the stupidest timeline
September 29, 2025 at 6:33 PM
This will probably make some ppl mad but the need to constantly be taking video & pictures of ur kid/grandkid when at events is concerning. Stop, take a few pictures or videos then be present. Also other ppl don’t want a stranger taking video/ pics of their kids. It’s creepy! stop, enjoy the moment
