Why I Need a Quiet Moment After Walking In the Door

The moment I step inside after a long day, I crave just a few minutes of silence. It’s not that I don’t want to hear about everyone’s day or answer a million questions—I really do! But that first five minutes is my time to decompress and switch gears from work mode to family mode. I’ve learned that when I get that quiet pause, I’m so much more present and patient for the rest of the evening. Anyone else need a little peace before the family chaos begins? Let me know how you handle those first moments at home! #ParentingRealTalk #FamilyLife #MomNeedsABreak #Parenting
