[quote=Anonymous]I do a fair amount of parent volunteering (scout leadership, sports coach, some school volunteering, but not PTA-level). Pre-COVID, I felt like I could manage it all much better. Now I feel like I am failing at all my volunteer activities and just burnt out. It takes me days to respond to emails and texts. I feel like I’m doing the bare minimum, and I feel guilty about it. Other organizations are asking for help (church, more school stuff), and I feel like I just don’t have the bandwidth, but I feel like I jerk for saying that. I talk to some of the other moms in my organizations, and I know they feel the same way: we just can’t do it at the level we did before. What is happening to me (us)? Why do we feel this way?[/quote]
