The Duchess of Cambridge is sharing her experience with the challenges of parenting amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

During a conversation with a group of parents, Kate Middleton held up the one word she believes describes parenting during the pandemic, “exhausting.”

She was asked what makes it exhausting.

“As parents, you’ve got the day-to-day elements of being a parent, but I suppose during lockdown we have had to take on additional roles that perhaps others around us in our communities, or in our lives, would have perhaps supported us and helped us with,” Middleton said.

She joked, “I’ve become a hairdresser this lockdown, much to my children’s horror, seeing mum cutting hair. We’ve had to become a teacher – and I think, I personally, I feel pulled in so many different directions.”

Another parent was asked about her decision to use the word “hectic.”

“It is exhausting at the end of the day. It’s hectic,” she said.

One parent explained how she feels content at the end of the day by doing something.

“I find that having that list of things that I will do that day is just not practical anymore. I’m satisfied now at the end of the day once you’ve done a couple of the important things and that’s good enough and you kind of feel contented, ‘Oh I did something today. That’s fine. Good,'” she said.

Middleton asked the group what things they have taken away from the time together with their families.

“I think we don’t realize how much…what they’ve also got. We drop them off at school, we collect them at the end of the day and we do ask them ‘how was your day?,’ but we don’t realize how much it takes on them,” one parent said.
