You have resources many parents don’t. Congrats on the luck (genuinely, no snark), but the median is having a much worse time.

I don’t live in the US so have no idea about that. I have friends who are parents who make below the median household income in the U.K. who make time for hobbies and socialising (including with me). Resources help but I know many people with far more resources than I who would say on forums like this my life is impossible.
