I like the idea of being a parent,

that we hadn't actually anticipated
the demands of actually being a parent.

Where SMBC has been incredibly helpful

has been the hybrid approach to working
17
00:01:01.800 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<-->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 00:01:06.120
that then enables parents
of young children especially
18
00:01:06.280 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<-->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 00:01:09.200
