Hi thanks for sharing. Really great learnings! Please can you share more on why you chose to move home with 4kids. You previously had an article. It would be good to learn for those of us considering moving back with kids.

I have to say that I felt so seen! I burnt out so bad with juggling my home life with work and when the pandemic hit and my husband now worked home and all of his work travel paused I was so upset that he wasn’t picking up some of those tasks we do not categorize or clearly articulate as tasks for both parent like the doctors appointments, the afterschool activities, the new school forms (tracking and gathering) deadlines and the list goes on. I started with putting it back on the table for us both to do. A good example was when my husband brought up that it was time to have the kids vaccinated against covid, he brought it up but didn’t suggest he would set up the appointment and take them. In the past, I would have hurriedly called but burnt out taught me a lesson, and so I followed up and encouraged him to sign them up. It was a first step for me, I also did not go looking for the links for sign up or pick a time. He sorted it all out himself. And then the next step was getting them there. We both went together and this was another step in the direction that will help our family.
