Yes. Rarely. But yes. I think that there are times. Where Kyle looks at the reward of what I'm doing and looks at the reward, a little bit of what he's doing. And he's just like, I'll come home from work sometimes. And he's just like, man, it looks so, that's so fun. Like what you were doing. And he's like, every once in a while, he'll say like, I miss working and I miss building something.

And he's like, I know I'll do it again one day, but he misses it. Yeah. And sometimes like days at the end of the day. And I think that like if you're a working parent that's listening to this and you have a stay at home parent, sometimes whenever I come home and when he's like quiet or he feels like removed or he feels like.

he's exhausted and he's like not saying anything to me or maybe he's like short. And he's like, I am just overstimulated and totally exhausted from these three kids. I think that that is a challenge that a lot of people, because we're always like, well, what did I do? Because we're always thinking about ourselves and it's just like, I just want everything to be okay.

But like learning that and remembering that, that it's just a really hard thing that he's doing whenever he's home with the kids. And remembering when I go home that, He's had a really long, hard, overstimulated day. Like maybe I have a bad day at work, but it's just like so obvious of what it is. Like this happened and that's why I feel this way. I don't think it is with a stay-at-home parent.

It's just like, I just feel like all the life that was in me this morning was sucked out by all of these children.

I think that that's a challenge and something that I've had to learn and meet. with grace and understanding and understand that sometimes his tank is empty at the end of the day. And maybe he doesn't even know why, but it's because of all those children.

It's the best situation because you're still being raised by a parent, but like I get to go and build and do and be, and I also get to come home and be a present parent and like choose my own schedule. And you said a while ago, but it is a privilege to be able to stay, to have a parent to stay at home. And that is something we do not take for granted and we don't think is an automatic thing.

And also, like, that's so interesting that most of your friends are that dynamic. But I also think you living in California and in L.A., it's a different world. Yeah, New York also.

Because in Nashville, Tennessee, it is certainly the other way around, I think. I think that, you know, geographically, demographically, it's just different, different places. Yeah. I feel like I'm in the minority and I feel very lucky. But, you know, there are days that like I'll take my kids to the trampoline place because I still am able to work at my own schedule.

And I'm so fortunate to do that because I can still play a part time stay at home mom role. And there's sometimes, Jamie, where it is so funny that I feel like this, but I do, that we'll go to the trampoline place. I'm sitting there and I'm watching the mom that I know is a full time stay at home mom that doesn't work.
