[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What am I missing here? OP, you sound like my family. DH and I are not divorced, but we find ourselves similarly disengaged if you compare us to the absurd unattainable ideal that is somehow expected of parents these days.

So your kids keep up with school work, one sport or extracurricular, they maintain social lives during a pandemic without any facilitating from you, and you work full time and still manage to put home cooked meals on the table without a co-parent?? Girl, you’re doing just fine. Seriously.

[b]The best possible thing you can do for yourself and your kids is realize that you’re doing great. Save whatever energy you can muster at the end of each day and connect with them in the most realistic and doable way possible for like 20 min.[/b][b] Sit on the couch and watch a show together. Make ice cream sundaes. Ask about their day. 15-30 min of showing interest in them and sharing time together. Do that, and keep up everything else, and you’ll be raising perfectly normal, independent kids who know they are loved and cared for. Stop beating yourself up!! You’re doing fine!!![/quote]
