Parents, I can’t believe it’s back to school already! I wish I could take one or two weeks of vacation because where did the summer go?
For me it’s the silent expectation I put on myself to ensure I come through for my child during this time, which can lead to me not taking care of my own needs living with mental illness.
If you need the permission to give yourself grace while buried in yet another pile of binders and notebooks, know that I’m right there with you. Know that you’re taking it one to-do list item at a time and that asking for help may be a smoother way through it.
And if you find yourself up at night, making PB&J sandwiches, that’s 100% OK. We are doing the best we can as parents. You and me both.
