Mom, dad! Hey!! Moooooom, daaaaaaaad!!! Sound familiar? It's not easy being a parent and it feels like it's just getting harder. Why is that? Because the art of parenting keeps evolving and parents are more empathetic than ever! Which is a great thing! Gen Alpha is gonna rule! That being said, it's hard for parents to keep up with it all—we see you! As long as you are doing your best with all of your love, then you are doing a great job. Don't be so hard on yourself. Give yourself a little self-love time. Maybe just a five or 10 minute doom-scroll break. Allow yourself to get a few silly LOLs in, send some memes to your fellow parenting friends, you deserve it! It's important to give yourself a break as a parent because you need to be in tip top shape mentally to continue being the best mom or dad that we know you are!
