And one day my husband was like, Do you know how much these make me feel like a buffoon?
Like this is not helpful.
This is making me incapacitated.
These are not difficult things you're asking me to do.
I can make a lunchbox.
I don't need a color coded manifesto because you're going away.
It's it's kind of making it so I feel like I can't do anything.
And it's just like at work if someone was hovering over us every second, telling us we're doing it wrong or this isn't right or here's how you do it.
You feel incapacitated, or when we helicopter our kids, they feel incapacitated.
We do that with our partners so often.
And then we have the, you know, kind of wherewithal to be like, by the way, you're, you know, you're not involved.
And it's like, who would want to be involved at that point?
Right.
You've completely, you know, deflated their sense of that they could be a part of it.
And so I do think that we have more responsibility than we give ourselves.
In terms of getting our partners in the game and that if we're blaming our partners, we also want to just make sure we're not really also part of the problem.
So here's a really important thing.
Part of having differently wired kids is that you do have a larger parenting time commitment than other parents.
It's just it's it's grueling during some of those years.
And it's so important that you also are planning out your time so that you're making time in the calendar for your leisure time.
