Mom Burnout

As mothers we are biologically programmed to take care of the needs of everyone in the family. But we need to make space for taking good care of ourselves too. This starts with assuring our basic needs are met everyday.

The Weight of the Mental Load

Technology enables moms to multitask more easily but more is expected of modern parents. Even in households espousing gender equality, women tend to take on more of the childcare and household responsibilities, as well as the corresponding mental load. Dads can ease this burden by taking more initiative and following through.

Couples Counseling
The Silent Treatment

When silence is used to manage conflict in an intimate partnership, misunderstanding and increased emotional distance are likely. Stonewalling in relationships can also cause one or both partners to experience anxiety or depression, and may lead ultimately to separation.

The 30 Hour Work Week

A thirty hour work week would enable more moms to be fully present at work and also present at home for their families. So much happens in the family on the bookends of the workday. Employers can help working moms be successful by offering this work schedule.

Mixed Feelings Are Normal

Moms who are returning to work often have a range of emotions. The transition back to work often occurs during the postpartum and while moms are still breastfeeding. Struggles with feelings of guilt and perfectionism can also contribute to a mixture of emotions.
