    I had a kid and suddenly all my money and free time evaporated.

    How does something so small make me go from one load of laundry a week to 2 a day??

    Where did the money go? I’m not buying much more.

    How the fuck is the sink full of dirty dishes? I literally finished the dishes 12 seconds ago.

    Why is everything sticky? What the fuck is on the ceiling?!?!

      Daycare costs me more than my mortgage. Admittedly, I have a relatively cheap mortgage, but still…

        I’d highly recommend cloth diapers but those do increase the load count. And if you’ve got a kid it’s harder to efficiently do more loads in a single day.

          There are services that laundr it for you. A bit pricy, but worth it in my mind. But overall that gives you a good reason to potty train early on. Ours were pretty trained by 2.
