palimpsest,
I love my kids (I have two) but they're a constant exercise in self control and staying calm. The toughest thing about the pandemic is that after not working downtown and taking the train to/from work, my buffer between work brain and home brain is almost nonexistent. The train was "my time" and a nice 35-50 minute opportunity to unwind and be ready to be home and engaged and active as a parent.
But I am happy as a parent. I know it's not for everyone, but I always felt that our path in life - if we choose it - is to try and make good little humans that can become good big humans. It's not easy teaching kids empathy, compassion, tolerance, etc. but I wouldn't trade the challenge for anything.
- So you are happier with kids.palimpsest
- We are also working on the non existent shift from work to family and back.monospaced
