@justyy, this post hits home! "Advanced spending + emotional exhaustion double-hit mode" – that perfectly encapsulates the parenthood experience! It's amazing how quickly those early years fly by, and suddenly you're navigating a whole new level of expenses and energy demands. Thanks for sharing this relatable and honest reflection on the joys and challenges of raising kids. I think a lot of Steemians can relate to this post. It's a good reminder that the time we spend with our children is more valuable than money, even if we may run out of both. Upvoted and resteemed! What activities or hobbies do you and your kids enjoy the most, despite the financial and emotional investment?
