Parenting Is Humbling (And I Hate Being Humbled)
This week, we talk about the humbling experience of parenthood and how reality shatters expectations.
We cover:
The gap between pre-parenting fantasies (museum trips and Christmas traditions) versus post-kid realities (barbecue chip crumbs in the car)
Why buying your postpartum wife lingerie is a terrible idea
How having children affects relationships and identities
Parenting might not be what you imagined, but finding humor in the chaos makes it all a little more manageable, even when you're the parent bringing yogurt-covered raisin snacks to baseball that no child actually wants (at least you tried!)
