I met a person who called themselves a hobby parent because they just had one child and I thought that was funny. I have two kids and after they fight I force them to say one thing they genuinely like about each other. Being ‘funny’, or ‘kind’ are the two most common responses. Before I had any kids I was a teacher and when I was pregnant one of my students told me that the child would steal my energy and make me into a raisin. I now know this to be true. My pots are siblings and they are talking to each other.
