Children's Events Are Mental Load Traps (But Many Parents Don’t Realize It)

A child’s event is hardly ever just from 2-5 p.m. Let’s take a look at this sweet birthday invitation from Emma.

A birthday invitation for parents isn’t just a simple appointment; it comes with a whole set of tasks and considerations that can weigh you down, such as:


🏠 Where does Emma live?

🚕 Who’s going to drop our child off (depending on age and distance)?

🚲 Who’s going to pick them up?

🎁 What should we get Emma as a gift?

💫 Does Emma have a wishlist? Are there any gift suggestions?

🛍 Who's going to buy the gift?

⌚️ When will we have time to get the gift?

🎅 Is there a party theme? Do we need to search, organize, or buy something for it?


All these extra tasks used to run around in my head, and I always wanted to get everything just right.


🤣 But what if you have several such events at the same time? (Spoiler: We parents know the answer—yes, there are! Like school trips, book fairs, bring-a-dish day, etc.)

🧒🧒🧒 And what if you have more than one child?


It just becomes too much, and you don’t know how to keep track of it all.

THIS IS MENTAL LOAD!


How can the SHUBiDU app help reduce mental load?

  • In SHUBiDU, you can store all your children’s and family’s events in one central place

  • All family members can see every event and all the details (fewer follow-up questions!)

  • You can add notes to any event

  • You can attach photos to events (like the birthday invitation)

  • Additional tasks (like buying a gift) can be added as a calendar entry for a specific family member

  • You can assign the birthday party to yourself and another parent in the calendar, so you know who is responsible for drop-off and pick-up (depending on your arrangement)

  • And more


Do you know this struggle? 🙈 How have you been handling it so far?


SHUBiDU wants to simplify family organization and help modern parents successfully combine their family and work lives.


Best wishes and enjoy using SHUBiDU,

Sonia





P.S.: I developed SHUBiDU to bring more lightness and ease to family organization and to create a satisfying balance between work and family life 💙.
