Boundary of the Day: November 27
๐ฑ Boundary of the Day: โI wonโt manage what youโre responsible for.โ One of the hardest (and healthiest) boundaries in coparenting is letting go of what never shouldโve been yours to carry. Just because you can remind, rescue, fix, or smooth things overโฆ doesnโt mean you should. ๐ซ You are NOT responsible for: โข reminding them of visits โข organizing their parenting time โข covering for missed responsibilities โข managing their relationship with your child โข preventing every disappointment โ
You ARE responsible for: โข your homeโs emotional safety โข consistent routines and expectations โข clear communication โข modelling healthy boundaries โข allowing natural consequences to do their job This boundary is not about punishment. Itโs about self-respect, emotional survival, and healing. When you stop over-functioning, you create space for: โ less resentment โ fewer power struggles โ stronger self-trust โ healthier children long-term ๐ฌ Letโs talk about it: โข Whatโs one responsibility youโve been carrying that actually isnโt yours anymore? โข What fear comes up when you think about letting go? โข What would it look like to give that responsibility BACK? โข How do you currently โrescueโ when things get uncomfortable? โข Where could you practice this boundary this week? You donโt have to be perfect โ just brave enough to start. Drop your thoughts below. Youโre not alone in this.
