Burnout & Its Effects: Snapping at Kids

The second sign of burnout is snapping at your kids. I still remember like it was yesterday the first time I snapped at my oldest son. He asked me the most innocent question, then in the middle of trying to accomplish way too much he saw his mother transform into a monster. When he asked me what was wrong I froze. I looked in the mirror and I was a mess. Fortunately I recognized that I had way too much on my plate and needed help. It was that day that I realized that I didn't need to do everything myself. My loving husband was more than happy to step in and help me with tasks. Besides, he is a much better cook!
We place such high standards on ourselves that sometimes we don't sit back and realize we've done way too much. Think about it...who can help if you've got too much on your plate?
