5 Reasons It’s Hard To Be an Introvert Parent

  1.  Because you can’t stay alone in your room for long. It’s either the kids will keep on knocking till you open the door or just burst inside without even knocking.
  2. Because you have to be fun. Even if you’re not on it.
  3. Because you have to listen to everything that your kids tell you. Even if you’re mind is floating and about to shut down.
  4. Because you have to go out sometimes for them to have some fun. Even when you don’t want to.
  5. Because you have to attend school activities with them and be obliged to mingle with their classmate’s parents.
