It’s probably because I’m cruel.
When I see headlines like 80 percent of teens don’t get enough sleep, the former teenager in me feels sorry for them, and the social scientist in me thinks that it’s a structural problem, that we have our teenagers overbooked and up too early, and the exhausted parent in me laughs and laughs and wants to shout from the rooftops, “Get used to it! You will never, never in your life have enough sleep. Ever. If it’s not your kids, it’s your job, and if its not your job, you’re having fun. This is the rest of your life, you poor bastards!”
Ahem.
This post reminded me of the time when I was pregnant with Emily and I complained that I was tired and she said to me, “Honey, you’re gonna be tired for the rest of your life!” LOL Love the new look, BTW.
