If you’re looking after a child with disability, you don’t really need someone explaining “tired” to you, do you? There’s regular tired—then there’s what creeps in after months, years, of broken sleep, unpredictable routines, appointments you can’t get out of, and the constant mental tally of “what’s next.” I once heard a mum say, “It’s not the physical stuff, it’s that you never clock off.” And honestly? She nailed it. That’s when you start quietly hoping there’s a smarter way to keep going, instead of just hanging on.
