I don't think that there's any one answer here, right? Like there are friends of mine who are parents and being a parent is the center of their identity and they love it and they won't relate to any of this. And then there are other people who fall at other parts of the spectrum.

So I don't want to say that like anything that I'm going to say here is universalized, but I do think that what you just said there is relevant to a whole lot of people. You make a life choice, whatever that life choice is. And then you want to feel like it was a good life choice because otherwise you're living with a lot of regret.

And I think that a lot of parents get uncomfortable when being confronted with the possibility that their life choice wasn't perfect. I think that it's fine to acknowledge that maybe your life choice wasn't perfect. I saw somebody on TikTok say recently, they're like, a lot of people criticize me for not having kids or something like that, or say they don't understand me, that I didn't have kids.

But I want you, if you're a parent right now, to close your eyes and picture your perfect Sunday morning Now, let me tell you something. Your kids are not in that picture, are they? And it's true. Perfect Sunday morning, Nicole. weekends are exhausting with kids. They're so exhausting. Like your life goes inverse when you have kids where like weekends and summer used to be this flexible time.

And now it is the inflexible time. Now it's the time where you're spending the most time on kid management. And it's actually like work time and like the school year where you have the most free time as an adult with small kids, at least. And like, My ideal Sunday morning does not involve my kids.

My ideal Sunday morning would be going out to brunch with my wife and having a nice leisurely stroll somewhere or just catching up with friends or just doing something where I feel like I have freedom of movement as an adult in the world, which is not what I have with my kids. But to say that is to indeed challenge some of the life choices that I've made.
