Even if you’re a superhero in disguise, sooner or later you’ll feel the brunt of what’s known as parental burnout. That’s when you’re completely exhausted. Drained. When you feel like your world is upside down. Like you have no foundation. Like everything’s chaotic. And how you have no energy left to raise your kids right.
It’s a similar feeling of being physically, mentally, and emotionally overwhelmed when you start a new job or begin to completely change your lifestyle: you feel small and powerless and scared. Fortunately, there are means and ways to fight against burnout, restore your hit points and mana, and turn that frown upside down.

Erin Schlicher explains that parenting is not about doing things perfectly. Instead of trying to “do it all,” we should aim to be “good enough” parents. Why? Because that’s realistic. And if we let go of unattainable expectations of providing the “perfect” childhood for our kids, we can instead focus on, you know, actually spending time with them.
Besides, this gets rid of a lot of pressure when we realize who we’re trying to do things perfectly for (hint: it’s not always for the kids). After all, what matters more: playing with your kids in the park or forcing them to play the violin just to impress the other neighborhood parents?

Beating burnout also means never going it alone. Turn to your grandparents, other family members, friends, and friends of friends when you need an hour or two alone time. While they’re babysitting your kids, go get some sleep, watch a movie, build a boat in your workshop. Whatever it is that you need to do to feel like you’re back at 100% again.
