The joy and pain of parenthood

Spoiler- I love these kids to the moon and back and I don’t love parenthood. Some days I don’t come close to liking parenthood. But a pool day with grandpa and getting a chance to sit back and watch my kids play, seeing their kindness and empathy on full display reminds me that we’re doing alright.

Side note: we’re doing alright until the seatbelt burns someone, the car is too hot and waiting the four minutes until we get home is just a ridiculous amount of time to wait for a snack because pool days also make everyone hangry.
