What is real? Is poop in the diaper real enough to cry for? Is fever real enough? How do you know whether the kid is not having a fever seizure or crying because of poop in diaper without going in there? How about night terrors where the kid is throwing themselves against their crib?

The fever seizure happened to a friend’s kid. Ambulance showing up, etc. Seizures can cause permanent damage. This kid wasn’t premature and he has no other obvious differences than our kids. Am I supposed to believe/pray it can’t happen to me and just sleep?

I like sleep, but I don’t like it that much. What’s the point of having a kid if I am supposed to ignore their needs? Make sure they pay into social security so I can retire or smtg?
