Because Someone Has To Be The Adult

For the One Who Always Ends Up in Charge
There is always that one person who remembers the deadlines, keeps the peace, pays attention to the details, and cleans up the mess—at work, at home, at church, everywhere. If that person is you, this journal was made with you in mind. Because Someone Has To Be The Adult gives you a place to finally put your thoughts, frustrations, wins, and goals in one honest, slightly sarcastic home.

Part Vent Book, Part Game Plan
This is not a fluffy “dear diary.” It is a guided tool to help you process the mental load you carry, laugh at the ridiculousness of it all, and get clearer about what you want your life to look like. You will find pages that let you rant about other people’s drama, capture the things you are always fixing, and then shift into how you want to respond differently.

What’s Inside
Inside this journal, you will find:

• Guided prompts to unpack the roles you play in your family, workplace, and relationships

• “You’ve Got To Be Kidding Me” pages to unload the most absurd situations you deal with

• Reflection sections that help you turn constant problem-solving into actual boundaries

• Space for weekly check-ins, victories, and “I survived this week” moments

• Light humor threaded through the pages so you remember you are allowed to laugh, too

For Everyday Heroes Who Are Tired and Still Showing Up
This journal is perfect for employees, managers, caregivers, parents, ministry leaders, and anyone who quietly becomes the point person for everything. If you are the one people call when things fall apart, these pages will help you honor your own voice, not just everyone else’s emergencies.

A Tool for Boundaries, Not Just Complaints
Yes, you can vent here. But you will also be nudged to ask better questions: What do I actually want? What is not my responsibility? Where do I need to say “no” next time? Over time, your entries become a record of growth, not just a log of other people’s chaos.

Because Being the Adult Should Include You, Too
You deserve a space that sees you, helps you breathe, and reminds you that being the adult does not mean you have to carry everything alone. Use this journal as your private debrief, planning lab, and sanity saver—one page at a time.
