What I always find funny about people with young children is that they seem to think their situation is somehow normal. It's not, you'll do it for 8 odd years of your life and complain about how awful it is to everyone else. Constantly. Then tell us kids are the best thing that ever happened to you, no, really, honest. And then it's done and a few years later you've got teenagers living with you who despise every fibre of your being. The mystery is quite easily solved too. It used to take a village to raise a child, but we're now all doing it alone, isolated from our neighbours, and that's why you've got no time. Hope that helps you to not bother reading any productivity articles until your kids are 8 or so. TL;DR Stop reading them, they're not aimed at you. Edit: Also, I'm only saying this to you, because I can't say it to my friends/sister :) Feels good to get that rant off my chest!
