[quote=Anonymous]Ok OP here's the advice so far

--work less 
--hire more help, so you can outsource more, and manage even more people and schedules
--go back in time and dont have kids, you selfish monster!
--go back in time and marry someone who will make a lot of money and be a SAHM
--let it go, our parents barely did anything and we turned out okay
--stop whining! 
--Be easier on yourself, its hard out there
--use paper plates

Honestly, my only advice is to try to drown out the judgment of other people, and perhaps the most important critic to drown out is your internal one.

What would you tell your daughter if she is struggling to juggle it all--homework, activities, grades, boys, mean girls? how would you speak to her and what practical advice would you give her? Maybe something like: you are doing your best and that's good enough for the world. Focus on what's important and nurture healthy relationships. Let go of toxic ones. Get enough sleep. Have some fun. Get some exercise. Dont worry, you are perfect as you are.

Now, be that person to yourself.
