Default parent

There are plenty of good uses for money, but you are important too. Caregiving is exhausting, and you need help/breaks. If your parenting partner won't or can't help with time, then they need to help with money. (Similarly, if they won't help with money, they need to help with time!) Schedule your time off and come back fired up and ready to go.

Yeah I know how u feel, same here I do everything for my toddler, yeah he’ll play with him sometimes but rare when he’s doing the caregiving part, I know partly is because my husband doesn’t have the patience and he chose to be the only that cooks too so I just have been ok with it. Hang in there momma ❤️‍🩹

@Aileen ugh yes, the patience thing! I don’t even wanna leave the baby with him to go to the store bc god forbid she start crying and he can’t calm her. He’s got 5 minutes worth of patience and then he’s overwhelmed

Yeah it sucks and my guy doesn’t want to end up yelling or be how his mom was with him, doesn’t want him to have the problems he has from up bringing. I tell him little by little he can gain patience and learn how to be better than what his mom was

Start doing skincare at night, make a cup of coffee (if you like) and sit and drink it. First thing in the morning. I’m the default parent too. My partner worked nights and slept all day and is about to go over the road trucking. Carve out specifically time just for you. I have 2 littles. 2 months and 1 year. Make yourself a priority at night.
