Reject the Cynicism
There's this weird trend of cynicism around becoming a parent:
• "Have fun never sleeping!"
• "Hope you got your fun in!"
It's dumb—the good outweighs the bad by 1000x. The frictions are just a tiny tax on all the benefits.
Lean into gratitude instead.
@okayamaanda We have the benefit of having adult bones which kids obviously don’t have, but not having a proper belt fit isn’t ideal. Made worse by being a shorter than average woman 😂
@okayamaanda Yes this is absolutely true. That’s why so many women don’t pass the “5 step test” (what CPSTs use to tell if a kid is ready to ride without a booster) even as fully grown adults 😅
WFH has allowed people to have more of their lives back. Like, if I start at 8, I don’t need to wake up at 6am. I don’t need to worry about packing lunch because I can make something fresh everyday. At 5pm, I’m finished work with no traffic on the way home +
