Glorify Me Too

First of all I want to make it exceptionally clear that this post is not a dig at mothers at all. I applaud you all, you have the hardest job in the world and I have seen first-hand with my friends the strains and stress and pressure that mothers have.

2020 is a crap version of 2005.

Sorry Caroline
