Raised Resilient: Help Your Highly Sensitive Child
Kids & Family:Parenting
Do you feel like all the parenting responsibilities just automatically end up on your plate? You're not alone. In this episode, I dive into my own journey as the 'default parent,' a role I slipped into almost without noticing when we had our first child. As I stayed home and stepped away from my career, I found myself managing everything from night feedings to daily outings, never having a moment to myself.
I quickly became overwhelmed and exhausted with the weight of parenting on my shoulders. I even felt resentful towards my husband. But, this one realization allowed me to recognize that it wasn’t either of our faults, and there was a way to shift the dynamic.
Here’s the thing: You can continue silently bearing the weight of parenting for both partners. Or, you can begin to shift and make lasting changes. Addressing the default parent syndrome earlier can transform your relationship with your partner, and enhance family life for everyone involved. Tune in to learn how to start this essential conversation and take steps towards a balanced parenting partnership.
