This is a healthy reminder that no one is posting their failures on social media. We are first time parents, so naturally our social media feed has been curated to see lots of parenting content. My wife is constantly asking “how are they able to do “x” with “x” amount of kids?” We always have to ground ourselves that social media is not a real place and comparison kills. Thanks for sharing!
For sure. One of my big fears is the challenge we'll soon face (the one parents of older kids are facing now) in instilling the idea in our kids that this shit is not real!
Welcome back! I'm glad you survived and enjoyed your trip. I appreciate the candor of your articles. I deleted my social media accounts earlier this year because of what you talked about here. I love Substack because I'm able to read authentic stories from people struggling with the daily grind just like me. Thanks!
Ah man, thanks for always reading and engaging. Yep, I feel like, for whatever reason, this platform is helping people open up in ways that other platforms never did. We're all the better for it!
Loved it man. Could not agree more, specially with your idea that it would make an easier world if more people talked openly about not so good times in all their forms and shapes. Thanks for sharing this.
