I would like this so hard if I wasn't in the ap!!

Or, you know, if our "vacations" weren't going to my parents' house so they could see the kid.

Lol. Seriously though, I'm beyond lucky that my parents will spring for a second home up here when we have a kid.

This makes me seriously happy...

When I was younger (or before Joanna), I would have been like "awesome! My life is so boring." But now even taking a trip to Target can feel like an ordeal,so... lol

This is why children terrify me...

My SIL is pregnant, and while I love her, I think she is delusional to think that it is going to be so easy.

I wish i would have traveled more before Emily, we'll for sure travel more with her once she's older. But like you mentioned a trip to Target is exhausting!

We're going on an over night trip in June and a two night trip in July and it's stressing me out just thinking about them and all the stuff we have to do/bring!

Well I'm 24 and that sounds exhausting. So I don't think it's that you're old, you're just... reasonable?

Before kids, I would have thought that sounded awesome. I severely underestimated the amount of stuff you accumulate with kids around. We can no longer shove our shit in the trunk and move in one car load like the good old days!

You know what's depressing? I find it exhausting to go in vacation without them. I have to arrange for childcare, pack the kids, try to make/keep them healthy before a trip, worry about them being mean or sick while babysat, retrieve them, and unpack them.

Like, at this moment I don't consider it worth it to go on a trip with them OR without them. We'll all just rot in the house for the next 15 years. Thanks.

No no no

When we do go away without them, I realize how hard it is for me to just sit still in one place and do nothing and I realize how much I need that time away. It will take 7-10 days after to get the house and the schedule back in order, but I will suppress my ocd, I need that time
