Are you juggling the 'shiftwork' of motherhood? This mum hits the nail on the head with the 'exhausting' six shifts we put in with kids and here's what a parent psychologist thinks

Tired parent.

A mum has taken to Instagram to explain her theory of parenting 'shiftwork' - and a parenting psychologist has praised her for speaking up. 

Parenting is hard work and no parent is ever going to tell you otherwise. Especially as childcare costs rise, everyone knows how tiring it can be to juggle family life with work, with many experiencing parenting burnout. And what's great, perhaps the only great thing about it at all, is that we're now talking about this a whole lot more than we ever have before.
