A short excerpt from a YouTube video (posted July 20, 2024) in which a mother describes her long-held desire to be a stay-at-home parent, the emotional weight of not having had that herself, and current struggles balancing paid work with family responsibilities (feeling exhausted, unable to cook, viewing staying home as a future sacrifice to achieve the family vision).

Chapters

But I've always envisioned the stay home, mom life because I didn't have that, and I always wanted that, and I want my kids to have that. I feel like with how much I work and then I come home and I'm tired, I don't give my family everything that I can. Like, I don't cook anymore. And I feel like that little task is so big sometimes for me to just have the energy to cook my husband a meal. We share that vision for our family, and I hope it happens one day. I just know it's a sacrifice we have to make right now.
