Each day feels like some sick joke, where you never get proper rest, proper nutrition, and no one even appreciates all the effort you put in. Date night with the hubby turns into watching half an episode on Netflix before bed, and Saturdays are filled with endless laundry. It's not an easy feat, and even though your kids don't appreciate it from you now, they will as you get older. 

Being a new mom can take the years off of you, but it's only temporary. When the kids are grown, and the hubby is the breadwinner, you'll be able to relax in style. You'll get back into your pilates, your keto diet, and your skincare routine. And don't forget that date nights will come back again; from movie nights to going to bars like you did when you were younger. It may seem like lightyears away, but the only way to get there is with some laughter at the tenacity. What better way to laugh than to scroll through memes about parenting? At least they understand your pain.
