So I brought my daughter to a doc the other week (allergist, to check on her dairy intolerance), and when he was taking the history he asked if I'm working or home with the kids. I said I'm home, and he said, "Oh, so you have joy every day," which I think is a saying he translated from Hebrew.
It made me so happy and I've been thinking about it every day since then. It's just so nice to get a positive reaction like that. I feel like a lot of times people just don't know what to say, especially if they don't know many SAHPs. Or they'll say something like "That must be hard," or ask me what I did before I had kids, as though that's the only thing worth talking about.
Anyway, just wanted to share. Joy every day! It might not always feel that way but I'm trying to live it.
