Right. Can I tell you that as we were talking, I was just flashing back to this moment. This to me was the, I don't know, maybe I've shared this with you before. I can't remember. So tell me if not. When I think back on this moment of transition from not having children to having children and just like an awareness moment for me, I don't know. I don't know how to categorize this thing.
I'll just tell you what it is, which is that I remember... Nine years ago, Jen is pregnant with her first boy. And she is like you. She's just like, couldn't be more pregnant. You know, like we were we were who knows. We were hours to days away from from the whole thing going. And we were sitting on our living room floor. And I don't know what we were doing.

Maybe we were playing a game or something. I don't know what we were doing. And it occurred to me, and so what I said to her was, I said, everyone always says, after having children for a long time, you sort of can't remember life without them. Just because your life is just so different. It's like, what did I do with all my time? You sort of forget. And I said, we are living right now

at the very end of before times. The rest of our life will be divided by this moment. Life is divided by all sorts of moments, but a big one is this one. Like BK, before kids. Yeah, it literally is BK or Burger King. And so I was just like, we are at the end of the before times. And it's a strange... I didn't know what to do with that thought, but I liked being aware of it.

You're in these seasons of life, and sometimes you only realize that you moved from one season to the next in retrospect. I don't know if people in the Middle Ages were like, we're in the Middle Ages. It's only later that you were like, those are the Middle Ages. But this is a moment where you're like, this is the... Yeah, or like the good old days.

Like, we're in the good old days. Yeah. It's like, this is the end of before times. Yeah. And so the more immediate questions are like, will I be able to step away? Will I want to step away? I don't think I want to. Those are actually just the kind of hypothetical beginning questions of what it will actually mean to reorient your time and priorities. And everyone does this differently.

My guess for you is... You tell me if I'm right or wrong, but my guess is that you'll probably do it a lot like I did it and like Jen did it, which is to say the kids are an important part of our lives, but we didn't drop everything to have the kids replace it. And so there's this...

always tension about like where we're being pulled and so a thing that you will need to do in a way that you kind of never did before was to just start to draw lines and one of them was that very smart thing that you anticipated here already which is like if if you were in a house where the baby was and where the work baby was, then you're going to get pulled from both of them.
