Re: Advice thread

She sounds like she might feel responsible for being "the planner" of the family. If signing up for things is for her kids, she might be chauffeuring them around too, then (though if there's carpooling/public transit she could take more advantage of if they're old enough for that, then maybe that's a suggestion).

You could also be direct, once, instead of hinting. Along the lines of you're concerned that she's saying she's stressed out but not giving herself the time or space she needs to de-stress. And unless there are extraneous factors, based on what she's shared with you, it would mean re-balancing what the kids and husband do. Assuming you want to give support or advice if she ever asks you for some (then or in the future), let her know that, but until then she knows what you think.

Another thought is: would just inviting her to a short, low-key get-together be a possibility, sans kids? Like an hour for a coffee or walk or a drop-in class, or other activity she likes that limits conversational drift to family - and you handle base logistics so she's not Making Another Plan.
