Parental Emotional burnout

They are only this little for such a short time and you are doing amazingly as you are the only person in the world your little one has as a mum. They look and want comfort from you and thats a really beautiful special thing. One day they will hold your hand for the last time, you will help them get dressed for the last time before they do it themselves or you will be helping them move into their own home or apply for universities with them! Enjoy every moment and take pressure off yourself. You are amazing! X

When i gave birth literally the same day I cleared a path through my house that was perfectly clean only for myself. I was already burned out from being the only one trying to make a difference and keep up with things. I told everyone I will not be cooking or cleaning or doing anything that doesn't pertain to the well being of my child when I got out of the hospital there was already stuff all over the floor, groceries that didnt get put up after 3 days. And that was what did it for 2 months I didnt cook and only kept my baby bottles and pumps washed. It got a bit better but I was a new mom and my anxiety was already bad. Only do what is necessary for yourself. Delegate other things to other people if you can. If you cant try taking one piece at a time with whatever you need to

I don’t know what this means. Are you burnt out because you’re a parent? Or because of helping your aging parents?
