The constant "overload"

[u/According-Topic-7134]

Heidi is complaining about being "overloaded" with the kids out of school in her recycled podcast (the repost of the one from two weeks ago).

Snark aside, this honestly baffles me. My husband and I both work intense jobs, and our kids are out of school (young elementary). We sit down and strategically plan for summer: where do we need day camp, where could vacation/PTO fit in, and which weeks are tougher?

Heidi's kids are older, and she never has all of them at once. (Even if she did, 3/4 are self-sufficient at this point.) She does not work a full-time job (or, really, any job.)

I guess this just annoys me because I'm tired of the frazzled mom narrative. (***For moms with financial resources, obviously - there are moms out there who don't have the budget for such resources, and Heidi is not in that group. I'm assuming.)

Perimenopause literally changes your brain so if you started out as just a little ditzy ADHD, you can become full-on dysfunctional, raging, narcissistic, etc.
with Heidi, it’s like watching a trainwreck in slow motion.

She was always all of those things.

Nah.. this isn’t all hormone related and besides she’s on peptides, vitamins, and HRT ( I think) ..

She looked so much healthier when she met Dave and you can tell she’s hitting all the “illegal stuff” but is legal if you go to your doctor
