the "i don't have any kids" comment say it all. It is absolutely funny the pressures you feel from other judgmental parents and the unrealistic expectations that your kid has to be able to be exposed and excel at everything. It is all perceived stress, but it is there, and it is unrelenting too. The kids feel the same pressure of it too, and basically it is all to do with social media. I was once like you, had the same opinions, was well rested, played video games... but man do you feel the wrath of unrealistic expectations once you have kids, like 'you better breastfeed or you'll have no attachment to your kid and they'll fail out of university and hate their life"
