[Meta] Are there still parents around here? Would you like to have a weekly discussion post? This community seems very quiet seen as this is a quite common topic (or maybe everyone is busy parenting) (reddthat.com)

Wishing y’all the best! The most worrying and exciting time. Even 11 years and 4 boys later, I still cannot describe with words the feeling of their first breath, cry, and holding them.

Pretty big contrast to now, when they run off yelling at you for taking away screen time; all because they couldn’t control their emotions and/or choice of words.

Thank you, right now I am not even thinking about afterwards as I have to finish my PhD. beforehand so that I can spend most of me free time with my child. And until then I have to care for our horse it seems. My wife isn't allowed to ride anymore And in the last two months I will probably be there every day to muck out the box, feed him and do some ground work with him. After all, we now have a riding partner (is that the right word for someone who pays us money so she can use the horse some days?) so I only have to come 5 days a week. So it's all very stressful at the moment, but I'm really looking forward to it :)
