I don't know how I share a bathroom with kids Sad

I don't know how I eat the cooked chicken I just cleaned in its raw glory.

Correct. I don't do either of those.

But I don't know how I change my kids pampers and clean up their vomit.

You don't eat chicken or you don't clean chicken?

I don't eat chicken. I'm grossed out.

I don’t know how I’m adulting. I’m still as surprised I’m being trusted to run an entire household as I am when they let me leave the hospital with a real live baby.

I don’t know how I birthed one child and then let myself become pregnant a bunch more times, knowing what I’ll need to go through.

Omg yes!
My husband was just asking me last night if I would be willing to have a child again after my very "fun" childbirth last time.
I said I would but I would probably be hyperventilating in my 9th month.
He was in awe that I would be willing to get pregnant again knowing what labor might entail.

I don’t know how I manage to function at work and take care of all my daily responsibilities when I'm being woken up every few hours at night by my baby (I actually do know how…with Hashem’s help!)

I don’t know how I manage a child with a profound disability while maintaining a veneer of functionality

This, and when a pregnant midwife comes in when I'm in labour I'm mindblown how they see women give birth daily and still become pregnant.

I don't know how my brain can store and manage so many different things, work, running the house, kids BH at all stages, parents, needy siblings....etc etc
I'm pulled all over the place all the time and somehow managed.

On the topic of birth, I don't know how babies are born. I've pushed them out, but it still makes no sense to me.
I don't know how I do laundry. Would you encourage anyone to do something again and again when you both know it will be undone before they finish? Heartbreaking.

And had all c-sections.
Each time I lay on that operating table I say never again!!!
And then I do it all over again!
