I’m 35. In the prime time of my life.
I’ve never been happier. And more exhausted.
Beautiful wife and kids. Portfolio building. Banger career. Lovely house.
At the same time:
• High mortgage
• Expensive food
• No personal time
• Working all the time
• Worries about the future.
• Sibling conflict mediation
• Kid illnesses and doctor visits
• Pressure to save for retirement
• Zero uninterrupted couple time
• New clothes for kids constantly
• School and activity logistics daily
• Homework supervision and battles
• Sports practice and game shuttling
• House repairs and upkeep demands
• Endless chores laundry and cleaning
• Sleep deprivation from night wakings
• Constant availability and interruptions
• Future proofing while handling present
• Nonstop mental load of family planning
• Weekend catch-up instead of recovery
• Car maintenance on top of two vehicles
• Emotional regulation for children and self
• Guilt from divided presence and attention
• Daily meal planning cooking and grocery runs
Anyone else feeling it?

@FmrRepMTG Thank you for calling this out! I didn’t even realize how bad the ptsd was from Covid until this came out! Not that we want to comply it’s that no one we trust is being held to any punishment and they don’t have our backs! Scary times
