When are we going to acknowledge that it’s impossible when both parents work?
Today hit hard. We just got word that our child’s nursery is closed for the rest of the week because all the staff are out sick with COVID. My husband and I both work, and after a few frantic hours trying to find backup care, I came up empty. So, I’m canceling work tomorrow.It’s a stark reminder that the old idea of a "village" helping raise kids has all but vanished. Now, both parents often have to work just to survive, and the juggling act between work, kids, house, relationships, and our own health feels impossible.I’m constantly dropping balls—sometimes big ones—just to keep going. And honestly, it’s heartbreaking to think about how this might be shaping our next generation’s well-being.Anyone else feeling the same way lately? How do you cope when it feels like too much? #ModernParenting #WhereIsTheVillage #WorkingParents #ParentingStruggles #Parenting
