4 february 2017 It's been just over a year since S has been born and two months since I passed my driving exam and signed up for Communauto, a car-sharing service in Montreal on the same day. All I want to do is drive places and hold the Communauto car keys in one hand as I stop for things like a cappuccino on the way to wherever I am going because I can do that now; yes, it takes time but not the same kind of time as taking a bus especially because it is winter and it is cold. All I want to do is online shop for unaffordable slow fashion baby gear that looks better within the curated instagram frame than it does in your hands after you spent your student loan payment for the month on something that your child will outgrow before you have a chance to take the photos you want as memories anyway. You justify it without any reason other than you really want two more kids (so they can wear it, too) even though you are 35 and already crushed by parenthood financially, emotionally and physically.
