> . I've been really struggling as a new parent with how to manage parent responsibilities, my job, and still make time for my own goals

To the author, parenting is hard, really really hard especially when they are young. Though it may look like other are able to handle things. trust me they are going through the same problems as you are . So take it easy on you and give yourself a big pat in the back for what you have so far done as a parent.

Trust me you are doing great and looking back you would cherish all that you have done.

\from a parent of 2 young kids.

Second this and same here. 2 kids who are older now but slept badly until they were about a year and a half.

No one has it “handled”. It’s sleeplessness and chaos for the most part. I would spend and cherish what time is available to be spent with them. They grow up fast, really fast.
