b'Today we discuss motherhood and how it\\u2019s something that many of us love, but loving motherhood in no way means that it\\u2019s easy. We talk about taking care of your newborn, which tends to be a harder stage for Adam than for Rosie. We mention the app called The Wonder Weeks and the great use it has been for us in knowing about the beginning stages of our newborn. We discuss the fact that it\\u2019s easier to just accept that you don\\u2019t know what you\\u2019re doing. Every child is different and requires us to be open to learning new things as we adjust. We talk about the fact that some people end up trying to do too much as a parent and forget to just surrender and take a step back for a bit, easing up on the harder tasks, especially if you\\u2019re pregnant. We tell how we broke our own rule and worked in front of the kids, and then the kids became like Lord of the Flies. We discuss telling stories to our children and that it can be a nice thing to just surrender to parenthood and relax with the children, who even take up the stories themselves at times.

\\u201cYou Might meet somebody and they might say, \\u2018Oh it\\u2019s terrible, it\\u2019s awful!\\u2019 But really they don\\u2019t mean that when they\\u2019re saying it, but to somebody who doesn\\u2019t have children, they\\u2019re like, \\u2018Oh I totally do not want children yet.\\u2019 It\\u2019s kind of like to me it\\u2019s satisfying. Even when it\\u2019s hard, it\\u2019s satisfying. 15:18
