Your coworkers, your husband, your little sister.. sometimes they don't see the invisible weight you carry. The mental check list, the planning, rearranging, preventative damage control.. and if you only work part time or are a SAHM.. the lack of external approval to pour into yourself, from those around you (even if subtle) can bring you right to burn out.
It can invalidate your experience of being the default parent All. The. Time.
We see you. Your story is real. Your exhaustion is real.
And shouldn't be belittled just because someone else thinks they may have it worse. Give yourself a hug, schedule a massage, and then go draw a hot bath after everyone else is in bed, woman.
You're doing great. 🤍
