Why We Long for the Most Difficult Days of Parenthood

I’m not sure how valuable this article is for people without kids, but as a parent to two small kids, this felt extremely relatable. «There’s no sense in trying to cherish every moment of early parenting as it happens […] Too much is going on, and much of it isn’t enjoyable. But keep an eye out for the precious moments amid the tumult and chaos […] Collect them like gems, so that when your arms are finally free and your eyes are a little clearer, you can turn them over in your hand.»
