[quote=Anonymous]I agree that this is normal for many op so don’t beat yourself up, but I agree with trying to do less of the things you don’t like, and more of the things you do. Drop being class mom if it doesn’t bring you joy, head outside even in bad weather so you don’t have to come up with activities. I also don’t love playing and hate planning activities or doing any kind of craft - so I straight up don’t do it. I just do child led play and outside as much as possible. I’m also reading “how to be a happier parent” which someone actually recommended here on dcum and you may enjoy as well. Generally I would say many of us feel the relief at bedtime!! Totally normal so cut yourself some slack and try to do more of what you find joyful in parenting (like if working full time would make you happier, do it! Your kids will still be great, working part time can be especially hard because you’re having to do both each day at higher levels)[/quote]
