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 😂

[Haley Fortier @HaleyyyLyons]

@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 😅

Best part of working from home is *easily* the afternoon showers

I’ve had an ectopic and had to have emergency surgery to remove it. I couldn’t imagine not having quick and easy access to that care.

Literally life changing 🙌🏼 I work the same 40 hours I always have, but I’ve gotten so much time back. Best decision ever.

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 +

I put my two week notice in for my job that I’ve been at for 6 years 😭 my whole adult life has been with that job. It’s bittersweet.

[Haley Fortier @HaleyyyLyons]
