“On top of being their mom, I have to be the cleaner, the cook, the laundry lady, the homeschooler when they’re not at school, the doctor, the negotiator, and so much more. I’d rather not do all of that while trying to be the perfect partner when I would rather just relax. I won’t feel like cooking every day. I won’t feel like cleaning the dishes every day. I won’t feel like clearing the laundry room every week or folding the clothes I wash. Some days I’ll be lazy and some days I’ll be fine. When I’m alone, I don’t feel guilty about that.”
