Transcript excerpt

What do you need to hear right now? What I need to hear right now from actual parents is how do you get by? How do you make time for yourself? How do you not lose your identity? I need to hear that they need me and they love me, that I always did the best I could raising my kids. I feel like every person or parent would love to tier, and I I'm proud of you. You're doing really well, and I can see how great of a parent you are and how much work you put into raising tiny human beings. So that's probably what I'd wanna hear right now.
