Sometimes when Josh is gone at night for a business meeting or something, or on the occasion I've had the girls by myself for a weekend it makes me TOTALLY realize why people say stuff like, "We stayed together for the children."
I always thought it meant they stayed together for the well-being of the children, and while that's important for sure, I think the real reason they say it is because, Man it's hard to be a single parent. That shit is not easy. Even if it's just someone to commiserate with at the end of the day, it's easier.
My hat is off to all the single parents out there. I don't know how you do it, sometimes you just have to yell, "I don't have to poop but I'm gonna go poop for about a half an hour right now, and even though I'm not really pooping, I need that time to poop, do you understand what I'm saying?"
And then you hide in the bathroom for about five gloriously-gorgeous-no-yelling-no-one-puking-in-your-hair-annoyingly-loud-toy-free alone minutes before the kids escape and find you, and then once you're out of the bathroom, that's when dang it, that's when you realize you really do have to poop, and good luck doing that alone now!
Because that's how life works folks.
Parenthood. It means never pooping alone.
But you also get to have conversations like this one. So that's a major plus.
