Partners, Not Just Parents: A Parents’ Night In

Parenthood changes everything, including your relationship.

Somewhere between daycare drop-off, school emails, activities, and never-ending laundry, it’s easy to end up feeling like:

• Roommates running a tiny, chaotic business together
• “All business, no romance”
• Touched-out, tired, and a little disconnected

If this sounds like you, you are so not alone.

Join us at The Parent Space for a cozy Parents’ Night In led by a licensed couples therapist, an honest, practical evening all about finding your way back to us in the middle of real life: kids, mental load, and all.

During this Parents’ Night In, we’ll gently explore:

• Why it feels so different now – what actually happens to our relationships when kids come into the picture (you’re not broken; this is common).
• The invisible mental load – how it quietly shapes resentment and distance, and small ways to rebalance without a blow-up.
• Micro-connection – tiny, 3–5 minute rituals you can build into weeknights after bedtime to feel closer, even when you’re exhausted.
• Repair on a tight schedule – how to come back together after conflict when there’s no time for a 2-hour deep talk.

You’ll walk away with:

• A simple nightly or weekly “check-in” script you can start using right away
• 2–3 connection rituals that actually fit your life
• A shared language for talking about the mental load
• A little more compassion for yourself and your partner in this season

Come with your partner or come solo - either way, you’ll leave with tools you can bring home and start using immediately.

This Parents’ Night In is perfect for you if:

• You love your partner, but lately it feels like it’s all schedules, logistics, and tasks
• You miss feeling like a couple, not just co-parents / co-managers
• You want ideas that are realistic for tired parents, not a fantasy version of your life
• You’re craving a supportive, judgment-free space with other parents who get it
