Are you responsible for the house, the errands, the kids, the finances, the laundry, the cooking, the cleaning? If you hear one more person brag about their daily morning yoga and meditation and lemon water, do you want to mail them 500 lemons out of spite?
“I have no time” IS Nicole’s anthem. When she makes her plea for time, it bugs the crap out of her husband. He thinks she wastes time worrying. If she would just calm her anxiety the f**k down (of course, he says it much nicer) and block her time better, he thinks that she would easily find time for #allthethings.
Let’s be honest here. Every day, as easily as pouring a glass of wine, we fill 20 minutes with Pinterest, Netflix, gossip, or social media. With a little effort, we could also find 20 minutes for exercise, mindfulness, reading a book, swimming, or taking a walk — whatever we desire.
If you are the over-busy parent who finally feels like she has built a system for getting s**t done that works, you might protest, “now you want me to throw a wrench and break the whole damn thing?!” It’s super difficult for any of us to switch our familiar routine for a new one, even if we know it will help us do the right things. Why? BECAUSE WE HAVE NO TIME!!
In this episode of the ‘I Am The Worst Parent Ever’ podcast, Robert and Nicole discuss the ways we have control of our time and the ways we don’t.
