Emily Spencer - Letting Go of Mum Guilt

Emily Spencer - Letting Go of Mum Guilt

Emily Spencer, narrating her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.

In this blog, Emily reflects on her experience as a working parent balancing a PhD with raising an energetic toddler. Initially confident in her childcare arrangement, she recently realised that juggling work during nap times while caring for her son on non-childcare days was leaving her exhausted and guilty. Emily describes the challenges of managing both roles, the comments that made her reassess her situation, and the decision to add an extra childcare day. She concludes that seeking more support will benefit both her and her son, offering the headspace needed to be a better parent and researcher.
