Shopping, cooking, errands
I’ve noticed lately that my mom is getting overwhelmed with everyday chores. Things like grocery shopping, cooking, and even planning out meals for the week are starting to pile up on her. I try to help when I can, but with work and kids, I can’t always be there as much as I’d like. She doesn’t really need full-time care, just some consistent support with these practical things so she feels less stressed. Have any of you arranged help for stuff like shopping and meal prep? Did it make a big difference?
Having a bit of structure with things like meal planning or someone helping with shopping can make the whole week run more smoothly. It’s not only about convenience—it also reduces stress and makes daily life feel more predictable. Honestly, I think a lot of families would benefit from this kind of help, even before it becomes a real necessity.
