I'm sorry but...you're not solo parenting
Description
Ever said to someone: “I’m solo parenting this weekend”?
I get it. Going from two sets of hands to one is a serious shock to the system… but it’s also not quite the same thing.
When you’re doing it on your own, there’s no handover coming. Ever.
No backup if things go sideways. Ever.
No one else there (even over the phone) taking responsibility for figuring things out with you.
But weirdly, I think that can make things simpler.
Not logistically, sure.
But cleaner. More straightforward. Way less emotionally complicated.
So this is a bit of a reality check… but also a bit of reassurance if you’ve ever said it yourself and immediately thought, “Oh shit, should I not have said that?”
You’re fine. I promise.
This podcast was recorded on the lands of the Wangal people, of the Eora Nation.
I pay my respects to Elders past and present.
