Ahaha love this and resonate with so much of it. Why DOES checkout always coincide with nap & lunch time??
And how can my husband and I be literally < 40 feet apart from each other 24/7 but still feel lonely / disconnected / like we never have time to talk 😅
I remind myself CONSTANTLY that it’s the highest highs & lowest lows (and that 8-hr washing loads and airbnbs without forks might be “Type II fun” at some point!!). But it also really helps to realize others feel the same, and there *is* a tribe out there for all of us. They just take a little more hunting!!
(Or get a sailboat and join us crazies on the sea 🤓)
Haha right? Now we have tired kids under stress :P Yes, there are a bunch of us out there and it's always so reassuring to read comments like yours that it's got its tough points for all of us <3
I love your writing and insights! We also had a washer dryer in Mexico and it took like 10 hours to complete a cycle. So crazy lol. I resonate with the isolation/needing a community and feeling like there’s no one around that’s in a similar mindset as you.
Thank you!!! Oh my gosh, that's insane. Whomever invented that machine was definitely not the parent of young kids who sometimes need multiple loads of laundry a day haha.
And that's why we have Substack - to see that there are more of us!
Thank you Jennifer! I appreciate that. It's not all roses & I wouldn't want someone to make a lifestyle choice or compare their situation to ours on just the "pretty" side of it all. I love to think too :) Substack is a brilliant place for that.
