This is a YouTube video titled "Ep 291" containing a reflective monologue recorded in July 2025. The speaker shares personal thoughts on the value of time spent with small children, expressing nostalgia and appreciation for the early stages of parenthood. The content is a single-speaker narrative without conversational elements.
There is no time that you can get back. And I know that sounds so trite and so cliched, but it's so incredibly worth it. I mean, what I would give. Now I feel like I was made for small kids. You know, there was. I'm a rare breed in that all I wanted to do was grow up, get married and have babies. So, you know, I was young when we had our children and I loved that stage so much. I loved being needed so much. I loved just walking down, holding their hands and then skipping along the road. I loved being able to sing to them at night and them saying, one more song, Mama, one more song. And I would sing and they would be so happy and think my voice was so wonderful. They'd just want to read more and more books and just needed me for everything. And I think that too often, we're in so much of a hurry to get to where we want to go that it can be hard to realise that right now, like, you're having the time of your life. And for me, like, having small children was the absolute time of my life.
