Ooh this was a great listen!!

v much enjoyed including this meme in my 2025 strategy pres today

i'm sure people have been saying it for years, but being a working parent is actually, like, pretty difficult?? WHO KNEW

you honestly don't get it till you get it, but the work / childcare / health / personal life / hobbies / relationship / self care balance is TOUGH.

to me, if you weren't breaking your back - starting your day at 6am and finishing late into the night (like I at one point was), then you simply were not trying hard enough

(this is a horrific mindset avec or sans children tbf)

jeeze, coming back to work after mat leave makes you really realise what a tw@t you were pre-children

i definitely was one of those who silently judged colleagues for taking 'days off' for emergency childcare or logging off early to do the nursery run

i was v kindly included on this list despite having nothing remotely exciting to say, so perhaps this is the day i attempt to up my professional social game 🫣🤣
