And I looked around and thought, this is insane.

Like who came up with this system?

Because I am going to go drop her off at two weeks old.

And let some lady who doesn't know or care about or love my baby the way that I do take care of her all day long.

You know, if you factor in the commute, it's like nine, nine and a half hours that I'm away from her.

By the time I get home and feed her and give her a bath, it'll be bedtime.

And that'll be it.

I'll get like maybe two hours with my baby all day, you know.

And I get to pay half of what I make to this other random person to raise my child.

Who came up with this?

This is stupid.

And I have to pay taxes and I have to have a second vehicle and insurance and a work wardrobe.

And I just thought this is the most inefficient, stupid system.

And everyone around me is like, this is this is good.

This is what we all need to do.

Even like Christian conservative women that were friends and family members were like, well, you don't want to depend on a man because then you're going to get abused.

They fear mongered me to death about staying home.

With my kids.

And at the time, this was my high school boyfriend who I had my first child with because I was kind of a libertarian at this stage.

And both my parents at this point, my parents have multiple divorces between the two of them.
