AI as a Co-Parent: How One Mom Uses ChatGPT to Conquer the Mental Load
Zurich, Switzerland – In an increasingly digital world, parents are finding innovative ways to manage the demanding "mental load" of daily life. Lilian, a working mother of a toddler based in Switzerland, recently shared her unique approach to tackling this challenge: integrating ChatGPT as a virtual "co-parent." Lilian, known online as Lilian | ChatGPT for Moms, described reaching a breaking point four months ago due to the overwhelming responsibilities. "Wouldn’t it be nice for a change if I could just turn my brain off and say things like: ‘What’s for dinner?’ or ‘Just tell me what I need to pack for daycare and I’ll do it’," she recounted in her viral video. This led her to experiment with artificial intelligence. According to Lilian, ChatGPT now assists her significantly, handling tasks such as planning a week of healthy, kid-friendly meals, generating aisle-sorted grocery lists, finding birthday gifts and helping write cards, and creating detailed daycare and travel packing lists. "Whenever I ask it to something, it just… does. No follow-up questions like ‘Where do I find that?’ or ‘Okay, but which one?’ - it just DOES," she stated, emphasizing the efficiency. This trend highlights a growing reliance on AI tools to streamline personal and household management, offering a glimpse into how technology is reshaping modern family dynamics and providing relief for overwhelmed parents.
