Ideas!

  • You matter beyond your role as a mom-- don't let others box you in!
  • Demand your alone time/work time. Demonstrate that it matters so that others in your life respect it.
  • Talk about other things like your hobbies, interests, career and make time to do things related to those items.
  • Delegate work to share the "invisible load" and make others aware of what you're silently doing.
  • Seek support in friends who get it!
