Parenting or caring really is a full time job that is completely under valued! I honestly think society, the government have no idea just how much time it takes to support our valuable children or family members. Just in 2 days , after working all day I have sat with one to support and offer ideas as they write a paper, rushed to them as they missed the school bus. I have organised medical appointments, carers for both my dad and several children and listened and offered ideas for navigating life. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love doing this and it is the most valuable and important part of my life, but it takes time. Which in reality means that working full time is just not an option! Yet the pressure is there to do this and comes with a sense of being broken if we can't. So here I am to remind you and myself, that we can't do it all and that it's setting ourselves up for failure to try to do it all. We all have unique contexts and capacities and need to listen to our bodies and design a life in which we thrive rather than just survive. For some there is no option but to juggle it all and to you I say you are amazing, you are not broken and please have self compassion. Love to you all my fellow travellers. X
