Bron Lewis - Is It Me or Postnatal Anxiety?

Like you're not even โ€“ why do you do โ€“ like this is all self-inflicted, Bron.

The Imperfects
Bron Lewis - Is It Me or Postnatal Anxiety?

I don't think so.

The Imperfects
Bron Lewis - Is It Me or Postnatal Anxiety?

No, because there was reprieve.

The Imperfects
Bron Lewis - Is It Me or Postnatal Anxiety?

There was always a moment, a week, a day, a night, an hour of reprieve, even when things were hard in different points in my life.

The Imperfects
Bron Lewis - Is It Me or Postnatal Anxiety?

It wasn't until I had kids where there was literally no break.

The Imperfects

I remember one night really late at night, like 11 p.m., and it was screaming Olive when she was a newborn and it dawning on me that there was no day off.

The Imperfects

The Imperfects
Bron Lewis - Is It Me or Postnatal Anxiety?

I was back at work by this stage.

The Imperfects

And just how the society has worked, a lot of people who have kids in teaching, they become the main domestic person at home because they were like, oh, you've got 12 weeks off or 10 weeks off a year and, you know, some people think that school goes from nine till three and then all this free time afterwards and so you're going to be in charge of the kid.

The Imperfects
Bron Lewis - Is It Me or Postnatal Anxiety?

That's obviously...

The Imperfects

And all of those things happen in my situation.

The Imperfects
Bron Lewis - Is It Me or Postnatal Anxiety?

Lucas earned more than me.

The Imperfects

The Imperfects
