I have 3 kids. The most tired I had ever been was working a dead end job in my 20s.

I've got two kids running around and they can be incredibly exhausting. The first couple years were pretty rough. But I will say, nothing has been as rewarding as random "I love you dad" hugs from them. Every long night and missed event is completely worth it in that moment.

Parents deal with a lot of stuff. Non-parents also deal with a lot of stuff. We should all support each other, no matter where we are in our lives. Dealing with hard stuff is hard.
