I have a baby. Making a simcha right after the summer. Sending off kids to camp. Shopping. Arrangements. And every day life.
I feel like I'm not managing. How do people pull it off so calmly?

Looks can be deceiving! You never know how/if other people are managing.

They don't manage nicely, you're only seeing the end result

We're not calm. We're pulling our hair out and running in circles wondering how on earth everything will get done. But before we leave the house, we put on a little makeup and that million dollar smile and when people ask we say "BH for simchos, BH."

most people are stressed.
I just made a BM.
I have a 3 month old nursing baby, I have a married child with a baby, and everything in between.
The preparation for the BM was extremely stressful. it was not pleasant.
and yes, the BM was beautiful and everyone looked great, but it was not easy.

Thanks for the encouragement!
And the lols
I'm more or less organized. I have lists that keep me on track hopefully. It's just when things don't go as planned it's so stressful!
Glad to hear I'm not the only one!

One thing at a time...first send the kids to camp. Afterwards think about the BM..
End of summer is plenty of time.
What are you stressing about specifically?
