Parenting during times of high expectations and social media perfection can make us feel like failures, but struggling doesn't mean you're failing—it means you're human. Good parents worry about doing it wrong and care about how their actions affect their children, while truly bad parents don't show up, try, or care.

• Fatigue is the number one issue reported by women in recent surveys
• Yelling, needing alone time, or relying on screen time doesn't make you a bad parent
• Lower your expectations and give yourself grace during difficult days
• Try the "I'm going to rest for 30 minutes then we'll all clean" parenting hack
• Your presence matters more to your children than perfection
• Children will remember you showing up, not whether everything was perfect
• Repeat the mantra "I'm doing the best I can with what I've got today"
