“I have struggled to get a full
workday in, ever since the
pandemic hit. And it’s an
interesting shift in my
thinking, right? Because I,
before the pandemic, I
would have said like, ‘Nope,
absolutely not, like work has
to come first, that eight
hours have to get in before I
can do any of the ancillary
things.’ And now it’s like, ‘No,
my, my family has to come
first, to the detriment of our
financial security.’ And I feel
that for moms everywhere,
like even moms … who have
less resources than I have
or less support — like I don’t
know how we are not all in
mental institutions, right
now.”
