You are in good company in feeling conflicted about stay-at-home parenthood. It's frustrating that we often feel so siloed while taking that role, which as you say, is so crucial for the development of our littlest people. It feels long while you're in it, but it also flies by.
I suspect there's always a sense of primal elation when we get into physical fights in our 'civilised' society... A return to something natural but locked away... More so if you're fighting to protect, as u were.
Yep, especially if it's unfair... But if u don't lose too badly, I think u get enough dopamine to still feel good for letting that mammalian side out lol
That sounds terrifying! Glad you were all okay.

Yes, I can’t believe we are about a year in. These will be the fastest ~18 years ever.

That makes sense. I guess the exception would be when you lose the fight. Especially if it wasn’t a fair fight to begin with.
