To feel it hasn’t gone fast

[alloftheothers]

DS(4) got his school place yesterday.

I’m surrounded by ‘hasn’t it gone fasts’ on social media which obviously take with a pinch of salt but also real life. It’s gone so fast, where has that gone, hasn’t it flown by.

I seem to be a lone voice in thinking ‘no.’ Light years have passed since I was pregnant with DS! It feels like ages since I was pregnant with him and he was a baby, even a toddler.

I love him to bits of course but it definitely feels a long time since I was childfree!

I agree. Looking at pics of my kids when they were tiny, it's almost like looking at different kids if you know what I mean.
It's like I had babies/small kids and now I have entirely different adults in my life who aren't related to those little kids at all.

And don't get me started on how odd it is to see their Primary school friends now or my own friends' adult kids! 😱

Maybe this is true for some but it isn’t for me. It’s definitely been a long time since DS was born both in a literal and actual sense.
