Just a reminder that Republicans are just horrible people.

    I took two weeks off after my first son was born. That was definitely NOT a vacation. Obviously, I didn’t have to go through the really hard part (giving birth). To help my wife rest, I’d take any nighttime crying sessions plus half of the daytime ones while I was home. Getting up at 11pm, 1am, 1:30am, 1:50am, 3:30am, 3:50am, etc was not a vacation by any stretch of the imagination.

    I was exhausted and stressed having to take care of this little one whose very life depended on me. It was a rough adjustment. I’m very happy to have had my boys, but anyone who thinks having a baby is akin to a vacation either offloads all the real work to someone else or takes some really horrible vacations.
