Should Stay-at-Home Moms Take a Day Off? // Ask Pastor John

A video published by Desiring God on October 20th, 2019

With all the demands on our time, how can young families pace themselves to run the marathon of life without burning out halfway through? I don’t know when you listeners will hear this episode, but it’s initially launching online on a Monday, which is commonly a day for pastors to take off. A stay-at-home mom writes in: “Hello, Pastor John! I’m a stay-at-home mom to three darling daughters under five and also a pastor’s wife. Like most pastors, my husband takes Mondays off to recharge. But I find there is never a day I can take off from laundry, dishes, cleaning, etc. The work never ends for me, and I find this to be a challenge for a lot of moms who are feeling burned out. Without questioning the value of our husbands’ day off, should moms get a day off too? Should we try? Or is this a selfish request?” Read or listen to this interview at our website: https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/should-stay-at-home-moms-take-a-day-off Find other recent and popular Ask Pastor John episodes: https://www.desiringgod.org/ask-pastor-john
