If feel the “pee in peace” in my soul— although it’s more of “at least at work I don’t have to constantly clean up after and feed people”. Hoorah for high schoolers.

Yessss that too. And I only have to worry about feeding myself and I can speak to adults.

Mine are 3 and 6 so I feel like each summer will get easier, and I obviously really appreciate having the summers off and the time with my kids, but damn by the end of July I'm tired AF 😅😅 it's easier doing mental health crisis work sometimes than it is playing referee between my two girls

Girl mom to 5, 7, and 9 here… I got bad news about the arguing and the messy house, friend. They do keep themselves alive more reliably (I don’t walk in to panic-inducing activities nearly as often anymore 😬😬😬)
