Hey guys! Hopefully some women can relate.
I am a single mom of three. 15, 10, and 1. When I say single- there ain’t no 50/50. I am mom 24/7. I have a corporate job, 8-5:30pm, Monday through Friday. I do all school drop offs and daycare drop off and do all school pickups and daycare pickup. I am sooooo mentally drained and burnt out. I get home and it’s really hard for me to function, but as a mom and the only constant in my kids life , I have no other choice but to suck it up and do it.
How do you moms keep up with it?
I feel like maybe I need a less mentally stressful job. I’m not sure.

Your kids are so blessed to have you! The only way to get through this is to find time for you. You have to refuel yourself somehow. As your daughter gets older, it will get easier.. but that doesn't make it easy now. If you can spare it, I recommend having someone come watch the kids 1 time a month or 1 time a week... even for 1 hour so you can get a break. A babysitter, family member, friend. That time away will do so much for your mental health!!!
You're a super mom!! ❤️
