Ooh this was a great listen!!

Surely not?? Even at the age of 28, if my grandma doesn't fill me a stocking with mini notepads, smellies, and fidget spinners for Christmas, I'm heartbroken

anyways, i've just recently been feeling a bit like a dick and not supportive enough for colleagues in the past

i'm sure people have been saying it for years, but being a working parent is actually, like, pretty difficult?? WHO KNEW

you honestly don't get it till you get it, but the work / childcare / health / personal life / hobbies / relationship / self care balance is TOUGH.

to me, if you weren't breaking your back - starting your day at 6am and finishing late into the night (like I at one point was), then you simply were not trying hard enough

(this is a horrific mindset avec or sans children tbf)
