In one of my previous jobs I worked with extremely wealthy people - self made millionaires with very successful businesses.
They would come into my workplace and put through thousands of dollars of business … weekly, sometimes several times a week depending on the season.
You wouldn’t know ANY of them were wealthy. They didn’t talk like they were above anyone else, they never flashed cash or purchases, they took holidays but these weren’t shoved in your face. They didn’t wear the latest gear or drive the latest car. And yet they still enjoyed life and spent money they just weren’t flashy about it.
They still are the most humble people I’ve ever met.
AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM DONATED TO CHARITIES AND COMMUNITY GROUPS REGULARLY.

I’m starting to think the same thing ..
To be fair, everyone said the second baby would be easier than the first and that definitely wasn’t the case for me! It wasn’t until around 6 months that #2 finally settled. Before that he screamed the house down every waking minute unless we were holding and rocking him. We were miserable. It was HARD.
My first born also didn’t take to the baby to begin with. He borderline hated him and I didn’t think they would ever get along. The mum guilt was intense. Fortunately they’re mates now but those first few months were some of the worst days of my life.
