I Swore I'd Never Be The Mother Who Complained About Parenthood. Until I realized: In the course of one conversation, I’d just told two stories about escaping my kids. I’d hear things like, “Sleep while you can” or “Enjoy your freedom,” and I’d wonder: Didn’t you sign up for this? Before I had kids, when I was unsure whether I could have kids, I didn’t understand how parents could openly kvetch about them. It’s true I’m super sick of thrice-daily readings of “Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site” (or, as the 2-year-old calls it, “Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Vehicles, Goodnight,” because the actual title isn’t long enough).
