Boundary of the Day: November 27
🌱 Boundary of the Day: “I won’t manage what you’re responsible for.”
One of the hardest (and healthiest) boundaries in coparenting is letting go of what never should’ve been yours to carry.
Just because you can remind, rescue, fix, or smooth things over…
doesn’t mean you should.
🚫 You are NOT responsible for:
• reminding them of visits
• organizing their parenting time
• covering for missed responsibilities
• managing their relationship with your child
• preventing every disappointment
✅ You ARE responsible for:
• your home’s emotional safety
• consistent routines and expectations
• clear communication
• modelling healthy boundaries
• allowing natural consequences to do their job
This boundary is not about punishment.
It’s about self-respect, emotional survival, and healing.
When you stop over-functioning, you create space for:
– less resentment
– fewer power struggles
– stronger self-trust
– healthier children long-term
💬 Let’s talk about it:
• What’s one responsibility you’ve been carrying that actually isn’t yours anymore?
• What fear comes up when you think about letting go?
• What would it look like to give that responsibility BACK?
• How do you currently “rescue” when things get uncomfortable?
• Where could you practice this boundary this week?
You don’t have to be perfect — just brave enough to start.
Drop your thoughts below. You’re not alone in this.
