Being the chief-planner and decision-maker of my family is freaking exhausting.
Every weekend is the same. We let our kids lounge around in their PJ’s and stay glued to their iPads until we drag our sorry asses out of bed. Then we caffeinate ourselves and feed the kids, do some chores around the house, and attempt to start our day. Aside from holidays, special occasions, and family gatherings, we keep our weekends fairly open and flexible, which is generally a good thing.
Don’t get me wrong. It’s not like my family doesn’t have opinions on everything under the sun. Each one of them isin their own way, and definitely makes their needs and preferences known. But when it comes to the real-life, practical stuff, or anything that involves making decisions about how to spend their time, it’s a big fat blob of indecision and indifference.
Here’s the thing. Maybe I wouldn’t be so annoyed and exhausted by this role of mine if it wasn’t one of thethat I am burdened with. Like most moms, it’s not just the fact that most chores and childcare tasks get funneled back to me, almost by default. But it’s the emotional burden of it all too. It’s that I keep everyone’s hopes, needs, desires, and fears in my head along with everything else. So when I’m out there making decisions about what we’re going to do that weekend, I’m thinking about what would be best for everyone’s moods. I’m thinking about what would push their boundaries in a good way, enlighten them, teach them something.
