Thank you for this hilarious description of, what’s that pre-Instagram thing called? Oh yeah: REALITY.
My kids are all in their twenties now, but yes, this has, and always will be, real life with little ones. Social media displays a fake image of life, but those of us who’ve lived it know the insider’s secret.
We need more stories like yours so young moms today don’t feel like they’re doing anything wrong or feeling wrong about anything they’re doing. We do our best with what we know or have access to at the time. Good enough.
Too true. I think the funny thing about this is that, we are also are not having that much fun at home? I feel like this weirdly calms me down. Do I want to stay home and not have that much fun, or go somewhere and see some stuff that I will find interesting, but also, inevitably, not have that much fun?
excellent point!! Feels true, especially when I think about how I get antsy in the house and sometimes putting everyone in the car to go to Target is a relief, even though issues / tantrums / drama is still going to happen, at least I'm OUT, at least I can get a coffee, at least I can find a cute thing at the dollar spot to make me feel better haha.

Thank you for these kind words Joy! Cosign: we do our best, indeed. Happy to see you've made it to the other side of childhood lol <3
