WRAL: You can't 'mom' it all; here's how to get help

Stephanie Llorente, owner of Restored, is a regular contributor to the WRAL-TV Go Ask Mom blog where she writes about relevant topics for working moms. We repost that content here.

Moms spend their time doing lots of things – working, parenting, cleaning, chauffeuring, cooking, grocery shopping, homeworking (yes, I know it’s not a word, but it’s a real thing! The 3rd grade homework load is real, y’all!). None of these things are independently bad or difficult, but they are time consuming. I know that when my time gets crunched, my plate gets full and my mind becomes overwhelmed, it’s time (or, past time?) to ask for help.

But, here’s the truth: I hate asking for help! I mean, a “good mom” should be able to do “all the things” and still enjoy Netflix at the end of the night, right?

No. Very, very wrong.
