This might not resonate with everyone… and that’s okay.
For a long time we assumed the path was simple. Go to school. Sit down. Get good grades. Get a degree ( but get into debt first. ) Get a job to pay that degree debt Pausing your career to create a family Pressured to return to work. Pressured to hold and carry everything Live in survival mode trying to do it all. Living for the weekend Living on autopilot juggling everything Miss your kids childhood. Work hard till your in your 60s Finally want to let go and start living but your getting old your tired and worn out from all the years.. Then what?… Most people never actually sit down and calculate this. If a parent works a normal 9–5 job from the time their baby is 6 months old until they turn 18… That equals roughly 36,400 hours spent at work during their child’s childhood. Over four full years of their life. And that doesn’t even include the night shift workers the fifo workers the commuting, the overtime, the exhaustion at the end of the day, or the mental load that follows people home. thats bear min calculations!! This isn’t about guilt. Most families were / are doing what they were taught was the only option. But when you really look at the numbers… it naturally starts to make people ask a different question Is there another way to live? Not escaping responsibility. But designing life more intentionally. Because childhood is short. And the time we get with our kids is the most valuable thing we will ever have. And no we’re not perfect parents. We’re learning too. But one thing we’re committed to is raising kids who can think, lead, create and adapt. Not just follow instructions. Sit down, be quiet follow what everyone else is doing. If you’ve ever questioned the traditional path for your kids, you’re not alone. And if you feel this.. What made you start questioning the normal way of doing things?
