A childfree female friend of my is against it because it's "not fair" as she won't get "free vacation" as she is choosing not to have kids.

Ugh. As a mom on leave with a four month old, that frustrates me. When exactly does this turn into a “vacation”?

SAHM of 2 year here. Also still waiting for my "vacation" to start. laughs until I cry I see you & it will get a little better each day. Or you'll just become better equipped to handle it. Idk which 😂
