The "me-time" trap. 🪤

You spend all week fantasizing about a quiet house. Then the kids leave… and twelve minutes later you're refreshing your phone wondering when they'll be back.

Nobody warns you about this part of coparenting. The time you fought so hard for starts to feel a little too quiet. The chaos you wanted a break from? Turns out you kind of miss it.

It doesn't mean you need to be with them every minute. It just means you love them. Even when they're a lot.

How fast do you go from "finally, some peace" to "okay but when are they coming back"? 👇
