Parents, How Do You Make Time for Yourselves?

We want to hear from you about how you have coped with the demands and stresses of parenthood.

On Patch.com, we don’t just want to provide content, we want to start discussions. That’s why each Wednesday afternoon, we provide a conversation starter to get people talking and sharing ideas. We hope you will join in the conversation by sharing your thoughts, experiences and tips in the comment section.

Have some ideas about what conversations we should be starting and what content would be useful to Kirkland Moms and Dads? Please join us at the Kirkland Patch Parents’ Council Facebook page.

Please join in the conversation. We look forward to hearing from you!

What have you learned?
