@therealsideoffour: Anybody else feel this? The mental load that comes with being the default parent is no joke.

Don't forget that being the default parent often means you're also the seen as the mean parent and not the "fun one".

Being the default parent is SO HARD, but as the child ages, they can see and understand who was there for them day in and day out.
