Having everything in her life influenced by her children was overwhelming for Kalli.
Transcript
Like, I know this is – this sounds like it’s just helping me from day to day but the stress of, like, having my entire life, like, basically, like, influenced by everything that has to do with my children and their routine and their schedule is extremely overwhelming. And the fact that makes it more difficult is that my husband and I, we only have one car. And as you can see, I use our car for work. He gets to work from home. Right? I have to work downtown. He works up – well, he works at home, so it’s – and my house is about a good 45-minute drive from work. And our kids are close. Like, the daycare is close by. And we actually just got a transfer to, again, within the same daycare operator, to have my boys in a home that’s within walking distance from the house so I don’t have to do drive there, drop them off then drive back south so I can get on the highway and get to work. Right?
