parenthood drawings

Hi Everyone,

First of all, thank you for being here — I’m so grateful that you are.

I’m sorry I️ missed my post last week. I️ can somehow never foresee that school vacation might = an even slower pace of work. Brains are fascinating that way. It was a nice week, though. Having two kids makes me want less to get away from my son in order to be with my work and vice versa, and more want to get away from one kid to be with the other kid - which is less mind-bending, more of a good multitask. I️ do miss my work so much.

Things are so strange right now. I️’m afraid to write “things are so bad right now” in case I️ look back at this post a month or a year or a decade from now and scorn myself for saying that before things got much, much worse.

How have you been coping? Would love to hear in the comments. I’ve been panic buying crap - different color crocs for my son, gummy bear-shaped beads (also for my son), different kinds of baby bottles. Will we miss this? Not exactly, but - we will miss our comfort if it’s taken away, and this is the comfort we have.

Here are some drawings from this moment in parenthood.
