re: What Is It Like Being a Parent?

I used to think I was "busy".

So my son was born in September. I was also working a job that was requiring about 55-60 hours a week at the time. I was also in my last semester of grad school earning my MBA.

September-December of 2018 was about as hard as I could physically push myself physically and mentally.

Imagine getting absolutely no sleep because of a crying baby, then going to work on no sleep for 10+ hour days, then coming home to a crying baby and trying to study Advanced International Finance for an exam the next day.

The bags under my eyes were so bad people thought I had black eyes

And now, just a few months later, my boy is sleeping mostly through the night, I'm done with school, and my new job has eased up on the hours!
