Artificial intelligence and AI assistants like ChatGPT<\/a> might have scared many of us at one point. But somewhere along the way, many began to embrace the benefits of using these helpers in day-to-day life. For one mom, ChatGPT is so helpful that it’s co-parenting with her. Mom Lilian Schmidt has shared tons of TikTok videos<\/a> about how to use ChatGPT to help moms with daily life, from making shopping lists to finding the right birthday gifts and writing the cards for her.<\/p>

Before you start to worry about inter-species relationships between a computer and a human, don’t worry. Lilian’s relationship with ChatGPT does not go beyond asking the AI assistant for help with her daily life. <\/p>

However, according to the New York Post<\/em><\/a>, Lilian does lean on the app for advice on parenting, which helps take the mental burden off of her. For Lilian, “co-parenting” with ChatGPT has been a game changer.<\/p>

She says using ChatGPT helped save her from ‘drowning in mom life.<\/strong>‘<\/h2>
@heylilianschmidt<\/a> The prompt that made my mom life 10x easier👇 As a full-time working toddler mom, life moves FAST. And even with a loving, supportive partner I still often feel like the default parent. Because the mental load? Mostly mine. Four months ago, I hit a breaking point and was like: „Wouldn’t it be nice for a change if I could just turn my brain off and say things like: „What’s for dinner?“ „What should we get Emma for her birthday?“ „Just tell me what I need to pack for daycare and I’ll do it“ „Oh there’s no grocery list yet? How will I know what to buy?“ That day, I turned ChatGPT into my co-parent – and my life got 10x easier. Now, ChatGPT… 🥘 plans a week of healthy meals my kids will actually eat 🛒 writes the grocery list – sorted by aisle 🎁 finds the perfect birthday gift AND helps me write the card 🎒 creates daycare and travel packing lists I can just tick off 🧘‍♀️ lets me finally turn my brain OFF for a minute and breeeeeathe 😮‍💨 And the best part? 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 😅 If you’re drowning in mom life and want a co-parent who never forgets the sunscreen or asks you to write things down, you’ll find the exact prompts in the comments! 🫶 This one’s a game changer, mama ❤️ #coparenting<\/a> #chatgpt<\/a> #chatgptformoms<\/a> #mentalload<\/a> #workingmom<\/a> #toddlermom<\/a> #sahmlife<\/a> #defaultparent<\/a> ♬ Manchild – Sabrina Carpenter<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote>
