I know Liver King is out there but my roommate has been living by his “9 ancestral tenets” and it basically changed his life. Anyone else that follows something similar seen benefits? Seems like he’s rooted on well being and staying connected with the world around you. Even if you think he’s weird his YouTube video is well put together.

Have kids who also fall into that category. It doesn’t make it any easier because while you don’t need to ‘school’ them it means they’re at an age where they’re still highly dependent on you.
I don’t really know any parents who feel like they’re killing it right now. At best everyone i know is just surviving and taking it one day at a time.
Circumstances may not allow you to be at your peak right now but remember that there’s a huge gap between your best and failing. Hang in there mama!
<3 The modern world puts too much pressure on parents. As long as your kids know you love them and you make at least a little time each day to interact with them, they’ll be good. If anything, this time will teach them to be more independent and creative. Independent play is underrated.

I’m with you. I don’t really know how to get out of this.
Be gentle with yourself and just know that you are not alone and we are all doing an amazing job at both. Try to step back from the situation for a bit. Do something for you. Go get a massage or a mani/pedi or just do something you enjoy doing. I know we don’t know each other, but I’ve been where you are and I’m happy to be an ear to listen if you need someone.

You’re doing great! All on the same boat. What matters is that your kids feel loved.
Mom guilt is real. Lower expectations of yourself temporarily and make some arrangement for part time day care on a regular basis (even a couple hours a week) to REST and refuel. Put the oxygen mask on yourself first!
This. Every day.
It's the ongoing battle of being a working mom. Some days you feel like you nailed work but didn't even see your kids and some days you made the best lunches, crafts and were the most fun mom at the playground but missed a deadline. It will get easier as they get older. Know that every working mom is going through it. Do your best and find the best balance that works for you (or figure out how to add an extra 8 hours to every day ;-) )
Don’t beat yourself up about it. Parenting is a constant struggle under normal circumstances and right now the world is going through a pandemic! We’re all navigating uncharted territory. The last few months have been extremely stressful for everyone so just remind yourself that you’re only human. Take a break if you can. We’ll get through this!! 😘
