Well boys, looks like I'm about to be one step closer to achieving the tradwife dream.

Becoming the only worker and living on one income for your hog wife to become a lazy lard ass. Too stupid to get a new daycare for your autistic kid? Tradwife dream kek

2/10. Try again.

Damn being a parent sounds scary.
Good luck.

Unfortunately we bought into all the copes people put out there. That babies weren't meant to be raised solely by the parents, etc. Perhaps that's right, but back in the day it was extended family in multigenerational households who were helping out, not underpaid randos at a daycare.

I don't understand how so many people are comfortable sending their kids to daycare. We feel like total shit.

Thanks. Yea, it's been pretty stressful. This experience has only exasperated things.

How can you sleep at night knowing you're responsible for another human being?
