Unfuck Your Parental Burnout: Self-care for Caregivers (Unfuck Your Parenting #7)

"No one can pour from an empty cup, and parenting takes a lot of pouring."

If you're burnt out on child-rearing, that doesn't make you a bad parent, it just makes you a parent trying to survive late-stage capitalism. Mental health and relationship counselors Dr. Faith G. Harper and Bonnie Scott, co-authors of Unfuck Your Parenting, are here to pick you up, dust you off, give you a cookie, and help you set some safe boundaries and ground rules so that you can continue to raise your kids without losing your damn mind. Their guidance includes practical strategies and pep talks for bulking up your support system, asking for what you need, prioritizing finding and keeping an excellent babysitter, and maintaining your sex life (if you want to) so you can continue to parent imperfectly but lovingly into the future.
