Yes. And far more parents feel this than are willing to admit.
Parenting is often portrayed as endlessly fulfilling, but the day-to-day reality can be repetitive, exhausting, and emotionally demanding.
Many parents describe loving their children deeply while also feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, or drained by the constant demands of caregiving.
These feelings do not make you a bad parent.
They simply mean you are experiencing the full reality of raising another human being.
Love and exhaustion can coexist.
