What is parental burnout?

Parental burnout can appear when ongoing stress outweighs recovery. It may include persistent tiredness, feeling emotionally distant from your kids, overload and guilt, and a sense of being less effective—even when you’re trying your best.

  • Exhaustion: Feeling drained by the ongoing demands of caregiving.
  • Emotional distancing: Numbness or irritability replacing warmth and patience.
  • Overload & guilt: Pressure to “do it all,” paired with self-criticism.
  • Feeling less effective: A sense of doing less well, despite effort and care.

This test is a gentle snapshot—not a diagnosis—to help you reflect and consider your next step.
