Just existing as a first time parent. I have a huge amount of respect for anyone that has two or more children, because one is already stretching me to my limits. To get anything accomplished requires stealing time from something else. So over time, everything is in a state of being half-assed, overdue, or forgotten.
Huge respect! I am in the process of family planning and it is daunting to say the least, and my time is already so, so thin. And I'm someone who runs on 16+ hour days!
