Let’s face it, some days being a parent feels like a monumental task; adulting can be overwhelming. And yes, “parenting” is indeed a verb, thank you very much! Everyday chores like grocery shopping, laundry, and paying bills can feel like climbing Mount Everest.
One of the perks of being both a parent and an adult is knowing when to throw in the towel and just say, “Forget this!” Our emotional bandwidth has its limits, and on certain days, housework just isn’t a priority. Can I get an amen?

Seriously, where does all this laundry come from? It seems like one of those cosmic mysteries, akin to something Neil deGrasse Tyson might ponder. And why is it so difficult for clothes to find their way into the laundry basket?
Sticky Situations
Phyllis Diller once quipped that trying to clean your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling snow before the storm ends. It’s a never-ending cycle, which is why we find ourselves overwhelmed with laundry piles and sticky surfaces.
