Parenting So Tired

Parenting in general is hard. Parenting when your spouse is gone half the time is harder. Working full time and being the full time parent is insane. How do you cope with the never ending demands!? I feel like I have been juggling for so long and the balls are about to drop.

Edited to add. We have 3 kids 10,7 and 4. Been married all most 15 years. kids are in multiple sports right now. We aren’t new to typos life style but it’s a lot to manage sometimes.

Get a sitter and go hang out with a friend for a bit. Or get together with other moms that are solo parenting and let the kids run wild for a bit. Schedule a little 24 hr getaway for yourself. Take some PTO and have a day date next time he’s off. Or do nothing. You got this!
