The Slog
Talking to both my husband & therapist about this lately.
Recently returned from mat leave with baby 2, have a 3yr old, & I work in sales.
Everyday feels like a slog. Even though I genuinely enjoy being a mom, and I do genuinely like my job, the in-between is SUCH a slog.
I never feel caught up. there’s always laundry, dishes, cleaning etc to be done and if not that then trying to squeeze in a workout, or a social activity… the list goes ON.
And I have one of those more than capable, helpful husbands! He’s the primary cook and cleaner of the kitchen! He does bedtime with the toddler nightly! He did tons of laundry today! He even took PTO since our babysitter fell thru for the newborn.
I feel like I’m going crazy?! I outsource cleaning 1x/mo and mowing the grass 2x/mo and we get a few meals covered by a meal delivery service and I don’t watch TV or even sit down until 9-930pm!?
How the hell are you doing it? Especially working parents of 3+?
