iPhone: remember this one summer day when you took the kids to the playground and they were 1 and 3?
Me: how has so much time passed? Why won’t the older one (now 9) smile like that any more? I miss those chubby arms! I miss the innocence. I miss the stroller. I miss that playground we never go to any more. I want to cry - and also maybe have another baby? I’m too old to have another baby… right? I’ll probably die when the baby is like 45 - and that’s not fair - or is it unfair? Is that like a terrible age to lose your mom? I mean - but they’re so cute and I loved that age. Although I was tired. But I miss it! Omg that stuffie… Work: ahem. Me: sorry. |

Yes, me too. Kid had a very bad 1st grade teacher. Every Aug/Sept. I get the 1st day of school pic from 1st grade. It leaves me a mess to see that hopeful face just out of KG. I know that a difficult year follows.

| Before iPhone memories existed, I woke on DD’s 9th birthday to the sounds of DH weeping in bed because half of our eldest’s life at home with us was done. He pleaded with me to try for a third, and I (39 at the time) said OK, I’ll try for a month and let the fates decide. I was very confident the fates would decide we were too old to have another. Now he weeps at iPhone memories of when our 3rd, 14, was little. I like them, though. He’s a cute kid. |

| Omg me too! To be a parent is so hard. I miss every age and stage after it passes. It makes me want to have another baby every single time I see those “memories” |

| My issue is the iPhone constantly pushing pictures of my ex husband! I don’t know why, but my phone prefers him to my kids (not his kids!). I wish it would show more pics of my kids! |

| I don’t want any more babies, but I do sometimes wish I could revisit my kids when they were babies. It went by so fast. |

| Yes but maybe more because my second kid was born in early 2020 so it’s a whole other level of triggered |

No. I celebrate the times we’re in. I don’t pine for the past. What a waste of energy. |
