Having kids changes anyone's life, but unfortunately not always for the better. Without the proper support, you can find yourself suffering from parental burnout without even realizing it. What are the warning signs? Amanda Jenner, a parenting expert quoted in the blog aggregator Huffpost, explains everything you need to know.

More specifically, the expert says that parental burnout manifests as "a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion related to your responsibilities as a parent".

Signs of parental burnout:

  • You may always be "feeling exhausted, even when you've had a good night's sleep, and find it hard to enjoy activities with your children";
  • People suffering from parental burnout feel disconnected, "easily irritated or angry over small things and have no patience for anything";
  • It can also make you start to "feel overwhelmed by parenting and can mean you struggle to manage stress and negative thoughts".
