This. I’m currently 7 days postpartum and have lots of people who are willing to help if I ask them for something specific, but I find my mind is so fried I don’t even know what I need. Plus, juggling the mental load of micromanaging how others can help feels worse and more impossible than simply struggling alone/with my partner to do it ourselves. I’m sure a lot of people don’t want to overstep but instead of asking what I need, I would love someone to take some of the mental load off my plate altogether.
