Literally all of this. If I could mitigate the fighting and food prep/inventory/feeding/etc etc parenthood would be at least 50% more enjoyable!

Yes! So I guess I just need Mary Poppins and a chef?

Perfect. I'm glad we workshopped this and came to a reasonable solution.

Ahhh the sib-on-sib fighting is new in my household and I hate it SO much! It can totally spoil an otherwise great time. Hard unsubscribe!

So many good ones. And these 2 really stuck out: "Rising antisemitism and the extra mental load of worst-case scenarios and exit strategies

The speed at which AI is replacing the need for humans to work, think, or create"

Thank you for giving voice to what so many of us are feeling!

Oof yeah, those are probably my heaviest anxieties right now, and unfortunately they get a bit worse every day. Hoping that changes soon but I worry things get worse before better.

Night sweats!! But also all of this. I was literally just shopping for a virtual assistant to see if I could outsource ANY of this--at least the scheduling. I have so many appointments that are overdue because I just can't bear the thought.
