March Break is supposed to feel fun, but for many parents, it can feel unsettling. When routines shift, and life slows down, it can spotlight your own anxiety, exhaustion, or grief.
If you’re home all week, you might feel overwhelmed by constant needs and no real breaks. If you’re at work, you might feel a deep ache about not being there. Neither experience means something is wrong with you. It’s your nervous system responding to stress, expectations, and old stories about what it means to be a good parent.
It’s okay to struggle while still be a loving parent. Give yourself grace this week. 🤍
