Best Answer…
Yesterday I posted:
I remember reading parenting books when we had two kids, and I was struggling with work, parenting, and finances. The books basically said, “Yes, it’s hard, but parenting is a wonderful time, and you should enjoy it.” No shit, but HOW!!!!! How do I stop worrying about work, how I’m parenting, our finances!??? That was the last time I read a parenting book.
Before we had kids, we attended a 1st birthday party for our neighbor’s son. At the party, we met a couple who had three kids, all under 6. My wife asked, “Oh my God, how do you do it?”
The husband said, “We drink.”
My wife and I laughed.
The wife said, “No, he’s serious.”
We all laughed, but over the decades, I’ve thought about that, and it was probably the best, most honest answer I’ve heard to the “HOW?” question.
