This the funniest most universally shared/true thing I’ve read in maybe ever. Sorry but also thank you, we are all less alone now

Perfectly timed for me while trying to enjoy ‘moments’ of holiday with my three year old who is too hot, too hungry and wants to go home!

Excellent, def your best yet ⭐️ such a hard topic, am very aware that I’m not modeling healthy working practices to my kids but in the current climate and with today’s expectations around productivity, what can we do?! “What sapping behind a cushion” rang very true.

I really do love your writing. It’s 4am here and should be trying to sleep but I couldn’t stop reading this - you’ve captured very relatable moments in such beautiful words.
