Today we explore the concept of "self-care bulldozing" – how parents (especially mothers) create more work for themselves by making it difficult for partners to help effectively.
Breaking these patterns can remove what feels like "50 pounds of bricks" from your shoulders and create more sustainable partnership in parenting.
• Self-care bulldozing typically shows up as micromanaging, gatekeeping, or not voicing needs.
• The solution centers around direct communication rather than expecting mind-reading.
• Two key phrases to remember: "Wishing will not make it so" and "It never hurts to ask"
• Practical tools and ideas for better teamwork will be discussed.
Join us next week as we dive into "parenting from the neck up" and how this common error creates challenges with our children.
