And like other jobs, you can burn out on it.
And so how would a parent know that they're burned out?
Well, they would feel burned out.
They would feel fatigued, exhausted, ineffective, even losing motivation.
They might feel joyless or...
perhaps even hopeless about their efforts and whether their efforts are ever going to produce anything.
They might feel defeated, like there's no end in sight.
