And so I really was trying to study what they were doing and almost the to-dos and maybe some of the not to-dos.
But I just definitely was studying.
I knew it was something I wanted to try to figure out how to do.
Yeah.
And you still and I think working moms still feel like they need to clone themselves a lot of times.
And, you know, I think part of it is what are the societal expectations of what a working mom is meant to do and where we're meant to be.
I mean, I was just talking to some colleagues the other day.
They were starting to just their younger colleagues and looking at schools for their children.
And I said, you know, that's one of the most important things is you're raising your kids and deciding where your child's going to go to school because the expectations of you as a parent are different at different types of schools.
And you really need to be choiceful about what pressures you're putting on yourself based on the pressures that school has for you as a parent.
And it sounds funny, but when we were looking for gracious schools, one of the schools says, we expect you to be in the library sorting books, you know, one afternoon a week.
I looked at my husband on the school tour, I said, the school is not for us.
That's not happening.
So, but I mean, again, this is, you know, what are the expectations that collectively are put in you as a working parent and what can you, what can you do to manage those and make the right decisions for you and your family so that you don't feel like you're constantly, you know, failing or, or, or just surviving in that, in that day-to-day management of your life.
You know, it's, it's just so important.
No, no, I know.
And I do think that's an important piece of the equation is figuring out as a working parent or as a working mom, what is that hour in the day or hour in the week?
Sometimes you can't find it in the day.
But what are those hours that you give to yourself so that you can recharge?
Because it is such an intense day to day, as you said, from the minute you get up to the minute you fall asleep.
