Meant to say it’s NOT the same for everyone. In other words I’m not saying everyone should go get a divorce. ;).

For sure. I'm glad you found this a safe space to share that. Everyone definitely has their own unique stories!

Yeah but it’s most the same for everyone of course. It’s just always nice to speak up in a space where people get it. I loved your piece! Thank you.

Answer: my partner took too many long poops with his phone in the bathroom so I divorced him. I got very comfortable being naked in front of my twins and totally stopped worrying about how long they had been on screens. I made mistakes. But choosing not to handle the mental load for my ex husband AND the kids was not a mistake.

Your post reminded me of things I hadn’t thought of in years! At some point, you do get to stop worrying about all of this. (Well, most of it!) But it is hard when you’re in the early years! I forgot about the times I held a baby on my lap while I was on the toilet. 😆🙈
