[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I hear you. All the moms I know are completely burnt out. It’s been a long, long time of uncertainty and moving goalposts. My motivation for everything is sapped. Last year I was planning holidays and pandemic activities with gusto to make sure the kids had something to carry them through. Now they are back in school in person and I can’t muster up the slightest enthusiasm for anything. It’s really sad. But it’s also ok. I think the scales are balancing out. I am trying to be extra kind to myself, and make time long baths or whatever once the kids have gone to bed. Hugs — we’ll make it through this![/quote]

Also I will say to some extent it’s just the uncertainty of the future that’s depleting my ability to plan or get excited. When we were in “crisis” mode and it was defined as this special period of time I coped fine. But now that is dragged out indefinitely and everything is different and we have no idea when it’ll go back, it’s just pretty demoralizing. I have a feeling though by summer things will look a little different.[/quote]
