Stuff I picked up from parenting books and works.
1. Let your kids do stuff on their own. This seems basic, but it really does take a LONG TIME and a lot of patience to sit there while they struggle with basic tasks you could do yourself for them. This is how they learn.
The fact that women hate dropping their kids off at daycare, yet society tells them “it’s good for them”, or “it gets easier,” tells you everything you need to know about daycare.
Women know it’s not biologically normal to be away from their kids, yet society encourages this
My mother, a kindergarten teacher, who has never been a partier just called me in excitement to tell me we will be having having “osmosis” for my bridal shower. She meant mimosas. The purity. My heart. 🥺😩🥰

5:00 - Solve world hunger (tell no one)
5:30 - Jazzercise
6:30 - Dinner with me (I cant cancel that again)
7:00 - Wrestle with my self loathing
