Omg. Your stepkid forgot to pick up their backpack AGAIN? The ex is on yet another rampage about something? Your partner STILL isn't enforcing the household rules you all agreed to?

It’s all so rage-inducing some days isn’t it?? Like the progress we made one day gets wiped out the next. We’re continually starting from scratch. And also, doesn’t anyone else care about this? Why does it feel like we’re the only one in the trenches over here?

Take a minute with me to just breathe in. And breathe out. In. Out. Okay. And… let that shit GO. With a reminder that we cannot control other people's actions. Which sucks, but it's also reality. So choose your battles wisely, and focus your energy somewhere you can make a difference... like into your own self-care and protecting your own sanity. For help getting started with this, check out our resources on stepparenting recovery & burnout. xo

Oh my god. Your step-kid forgot to pick up their backpack again. The X is on yet another rampage about something. Your partner still isn't enforcing the household rules that you all agreed to. It's all so rage-inducing some days, isn't it? Like, the progress we made one day gets wiped out the next. We're continually starting from scratch. And also, doesn't anyone else care about this? Why does it feel like we're the only one? And the trench is over here. Take a minute with me to just breathe in and breathe out. In. Out. Okay. And let that shit go with a reminder that we cannot control other people's actions. Which sucks, but it's also reality. So choose your battles wisely and focus your energy somewhere you can make a difference. Like, and do your own self-care, and protecting your own sanity.
