5 gentle reminders for parents heading into the holiday season:
This week I caught myself slipping into “Super Mum Mode” — Christmas presents, school events, teacher gifts, social gatherings… all the invisible labour that piles up in December. If you’re feeling that too, here are five reminders for both of us:
1. You don’t need to perform joy to be a good parent.
2. Good enough parenting is absolutely enough.
3. The Super Mum Myth is loud right now — you’re allowed to step outside of it.
4. You don’t have to do all the things. Choose the ones that matter.
5. You’re allowed to rest without guilt.
Save this for the weeks when the Super Mum Myth gets loud. 💛
