Being a mom or a dad to children may be a dream to many, but one has to be prepared to fulfill the many responsibilities that go with the title. Unlike usual 9-5 jobs, being a parent is an adventure of a lifetime, a position that impacts not just you but the kids that you have brought into this world. While many take naturally to the role, there are some who struggle with the stress of maintaining order at home. Left unchecked, people from the latter category can succumb to parental burnout. This is defined by researcher and professor Moïra Mikolajczak as "an exhaustion syndrome that occurs when a parent has been exposed to too much stress in their parenting role for too long, in the absence of sufficient resources to compensate for the effect of stress."
