Coping with parental burnout

Newborn

Exhaustion, feelings of isolation, and depression are all signs that you are experiencing parental burnout.

  • Parental burnout concerns both parents.
  • By trying to manage everything at once, you can lose your cool.
  • Arrange to take some time to relax and have fun with your friends
  • Listen to your needs and delegate tasks to your loved ones who will gladly do it
  • Burn-out causes sleep disorders
  • With the help of a doctor and by enjoying some good times without the children, you will be able to cope with parental burnout

I’m experiencing extreme mom burnout. I’m running on two hours of sleep, I have not had the time to eat in 24 hours and my house is completely destroyed. I’m trying to get up but I just feel so weak. My house was clean until my fiancé left a plate of food out for 3 days and I noticed it and had a breakdown over it. I guess I just want to know, how do you guys get motivation because I just have nothing right now. My house needs cleaned by Friday.

Having a routine and not having an expectation on how the day will go. I usually set a timer for 1 hour and in that 1 hr I do as much housework as I can which has helped too. My boyfriend also helps out in the morning when he gets off from work too. But realistically I remind myself that my house can't or won't stay cleaned with two kids for an entire day.

Y’all I am beyond exhausted 😴 my son is 8 months and ever since he was 7 1/2 months he became very clingy and fussy if I even step a inch away from him he is crying his eyes out and if his dad holds him he reaches for me if I go try to take a nice relaxing bath all I hear in the room is crying since I am not in there like am I doing something wrong I hold him I feel like all day and play with him make sure he is entertained with his toys but nothing is working it is either in my arms or he is piss and I know he just started a leap but it was before that I am loss and getting burnout and I just feel like my husband has no idea at all all he is is sorry he just want you 🙄 but what I really want him to do is take him outside and tell me to take a nap cause I do that with my husband all the time if he is napping I take Manasseh in another room

This is developmentally normal but I totally feel you on the frustration and wanting some more mommy time just for you. Is he possibly teething as well? Definitely tell your partner you want him to take the baby out for a bit and let you nap. You are considerate to him to think of this but he may not be on the same wavelength. Some dudes are just slow and think "if she's not visibly struggling or asking for help, she must be fine so I don't have to do anything." It's kind of dumb but hey. That's how it be.
