Your footnote is my dream, too. Maybe this is our "we are turning 50" challenge.

Yes! And I also would like to submit that some of us no kids folks actually do like to hear about how cool your kids are, I promise. (I mean, some don't but I do. I want to hear about the weird/cute/funny thing they did!)

And yet, it is also hard for me to believe that people want to hear me gush about my dog. Maybe I've heard too much "millennials with dogs" mockery. 😅

I had to drop down what you wrote It's well said. And I think words needed for most of us moms! "momin'" ain't easy is what my grandma used to say. And then she'd always follow it up with parenting isn't easy and if it is then you don't care enough.. I always fall back on that and she's right but I always go back and forth on when the good days are the ones that just seem so blissfully happy and enjoyable and all the things just fall into place like they should in your kids are happy and healthy and fit and your husband is smiling enjoying the moment just as well the gentle breeze everything is just right that's when to me, "momin'" seems just a little bit easier.
