Parental Burnout: What Is It, Exactly?

tabbyspantry

Unsplash – CC0 License

 

Before you have children, your life seems pretty normal. You wake up in the morning, brush your teeth, put on your clothes for work and head out the door. It’s a pattern you repeat every day and, after a while, you become rather fond of it. 

 

However, once you have kids, everything changes. All of a sudden you’re responsible for more people’s lives than just your own – and it has a massive impact on your psychology. 

 

Going to work is no longer the quick efficient operation it used to be. Instead, you’ve got kids in the back of the car you need to take to school, not to mention the packed lunches to prepare and the shoe laces to tie before you get out of the door. 

 

For many parents, it can all get a bit too much. Every day feels like an uphill struggle, and there’s no time to relax and recover. Welcome to the land of parental burnout. 

 

What Is Parental Burnout?

 

Burnout is a term commonly used to describe a condition in which workers no longer feel motivated or enthusiastic about their jobs. Typically, it involves exhaustion combined with cynicism and general apathy. There’s no longer any motivation for the employee to continue trying so hard. In short, they’re done. 

 

Parental burnout is something similar. It’s where you can no longer muster the energy to meet the demands of your children and you slowly become more inefficient, distant and exhausted. Even simple things, like making the beds, feels like a chore. 

 

Parental burnout is becoming more common as our lives become filled with more and more time-consuming activities. Parents not only have to work in regular jobs, but they also need to prepare food, organize activities for their children and, critically, maintain a relationship with their partner.

 

Given these realities, it should come as little surprise that parental burnout is on the rise. Studies seem to suggest that it first emerged in the early 2000s in the form of emotional distancing and depersonalisation. Today it is more widespread, due to the intense pressures that many parents face. 

 

It’s Not Just Depression

 

Parental burnout isn’t just another term for depression, according to researchers. There is some overlap, they say, but they are keen to point out that it is actually a distinct phenomenon. Depression often involves distancing, but burnout has the added element of cynicism as well. 

 

Some researchers, however, are against pathologizing the condition. Parental burnout is something that is to be expected, they say. Bringing one or more children into the world is a full-time job and requires parents to make enormous sacrifices, many of which they will not like.

 

The problem, researchers claim, is that like everything else, the issue of parental burnout is getting amplified by the surrounding environment. The culture is becoming increasingly unhealthy in all areas, with signs of social breakdown cropping up all over the place. 

 

Parents, for instance, are more competitive than ever before. People don’t just look after their own families and enjoy them for what they are. Instead, they look at their neighbor’s “better” family and wonder what they are doing wrong. 

 

Guilt is another corrosive force that many parents experience while bringing up children. Parents want to feel like they are doing right by their children, but many believe that they are coming up short. 

 

Pale-faced parents are struggling all over the place. Rehab center staff say that they are seeing increasing numbers of moms and dads struggling to cope with the daily pressures that they face. 

 

Changing Parenting

 

Part of the blame comes down to the way parenting is changing. Go back fifty years, and the demands on parents were miniscule. Bringing up a child involved little more than providing them with shelter, feeding them and giving them the odd hug to let them know that things were going to be okay. 

 

Contrast that to today where society expects much more from parents. Moms and dads are becoming more like personal assistants for their kids, ramping up the pressure further. 

 

We’re also seeing substantial changes in working patterns. Historically, there was one member of the family who took care of all the odd chores around the home, including raising kids, and another who earned an income. But that’s all been changing in recent years, with more women entering the workforce. Trying to juggle a career and children at the same time is a massive challenge and one of the main drivers of the current burnout epidemic.

5 Reasons We Worry About Money

Everybody worries about money, but while it is the top cause of stress for most, sometimes we’ve got to get to the root of the issue. It’s going to have a big impact on our physical and mental health, and this is why it’s so important to know the common reasons that cause us to worry about it, but also what we can do about them. 

 

You Don’t Have a Safety Net

If you are someone that lives paycheck to paycheck, not you are not alone. And if you don’t have a safety net, you can feel like you are on a precipice. One day, you may find that your car breaks down, and a significant amount of money comes out of your account so you are further in the hole. But the solution is to build an emergency fund that can help you with living expenses, but also think about the future. You have to be confident that you can handle any financial obstacle that is thrown your way. And this is where a Roth IRA, or, for self-employed people, a self-directed IRA can be handy. You can visit site providers that offer information about self-directed IRAs to get more details, but it’s important to remember that if you do not have a safety net, this is part of the reason you are stressed out. Creating a buffer gives you breathing space and time to solve these issues. 

 

You Do Not Trust Yourself to Make Good Decisions

If only they taught personal finance management in school! So if you never had the opportunity to learn how to manage your money properly, now is the right time. If you don’t feel confident in your abilities to make good financial decisions, or you do not know how it is important to remember that money management is a skill that anyone can develop over time. In order to feel confident, you’ve got to practice and learn. One of the best things you could do is to work with a money expert such as a financial advisor and start to learn all the information possible from them. There are so many different resources out there that can help you, it’s just time to start demystifying the process for yourself. 

 

You Are Avoiding the Long-Term Impacts

When we know something is really important for the long-term and we are avoiding it, we can feel like we are being financially left behind. And this could be because you haven’t bought a home yet, or you haven’t put enough money away for retirement. But the fact is that while other people have done these things, they may have only done so because they thought that was what people should do. The best thing you need to do is to look at yourself in ten years’ time, and look at the lifestyle you envisioned, and go even further to see what you would be like in retirement. Understanding what your future would be like gives you a better idea of preparing everything today. 

 

Setting Yourself High Expectations

Some people buy cars and houses because they are used to a certain lifestyle, and others do it because this is the norm. And you may have thought of yourself as a homeowner and having paid your student loan off by the time you hit 35, but you have to remember that life doesn’t go according to plan. And if you set high expectations for yourself, and now it feels impossible, the trick is to redefine these expectations. It’s about making sure that you set goals that are attainable and actionable in the modern setting. When we set goals that discourage us, we are going to feel like we are useless. 

 

You Have Not Got a Handle on Your Spending Habits

Everybody has to understand their spending habits. You may wonder why you don’t have much money in your bank account but is this because you are racking up credit card debt because you are out socializing? The important thing to address with debt is to understand your core values. When you understand these, you will start to align your spending accordingly. If you are fed up with being broke, it’s not necessarily the amount of money you have, but your attitudes to spending in general. You may very well have inherited certain attitudes to money because of how your parents raised you, and now is the time to re-evaluate if what you purchase is going to help your life in some way. 

 

So many of us worry about money, but in order to stop worrying about it, it is not about learning to calm down, but it’s actually reassessing your relationship with money.
