Why 'Sleep When the Baby Sleeps' Isn’t Always Possible

If I hear one more person tell me to "just sleep when they sleep," I might actually lose it. As a parent, I know those words are meant to help, but let’s be real—when else am I supposed to shower, eat, or just have a moment to myself? Nap time is often the only chance I get to catch up on laundry, answer emails, or simply breathe. Sometimes, I just want to sit in silence and remember who I am outside of being a parent. Sleep isn’t always the answer, and that’s okay. Can anyone else relate to this struggle? Share your thoughts or survival tips below! #ParentingTruths #MomLife #RealTalk #Parenting
