Ep 25 Musings w/Mookie

I don’t know what this audio is because it has been since Jan 19 since I have uploaded it. Luckily I put a title on the audio when initially save and that gives me a topic to write this blurb on. Parenting sucks. Not for everyone but for EVERYONE. There is just levels to the suckery that a good parent goes through. Obviously I am not talking to bad parents…like come on.So parenting sucks. You have the low level of suckery and that would be your sleep being deprived and scheduled rearranged in the form of rubik’s cube. A few random yearly illness - essentially light work. Give me that any day at this point but don’t because I love my schedule.Then you have the medium degeneracy of parenting. Maybe you are a single parenting through intentional circumstances but you have emotional and physical support. Just up the inconvenience a bit more, like from 50 to 150.Now just imagine the low level, then the medium minus the needed support. Add a shakey foundation of what it means to be a supportive parent through crisis. Meaning you came from a chaotic home life where you know nothing but to be responsible so you take on all of the responsibility of everyone’s emotions, blamed for everyone’s personal failures, and their negligent actions. By proxy parent of adults and children. Holding it all together to be the emotional foundation to keep your cool. This makes parenting suck.Maybe if it didnt suck, then I wouldn't be complimented on how well I am doing. I just know its hard a lot of days. Leaves you feeling like you are walking a tightrope where no e exists. Oh and btw - this isn’t gender specific. I’m for the people and this is to the collective. If you feel this way - it is okay. It gets hard. Mookie 💜 This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit mookiemadeit.substack.com
