Unfiltered Conversations: Part 2

This leads me kind of to the next question is because we made this choice, do we sometimes feel that asking for help is too much? Yeah.

Or are we OK with leaning into because we made this choice for a reason? And you'll hear people say, well, you made the choice that you sort of have to take it all on yourself.

Right.

But that's not necessarily true.

So want to hear your thoughts about that.

As someone who has a very solid village, still, it depends on who I ask and for what.

I live in Colorado.

I grew up in Vail, one of the ski towns, and I like work for the mountain just enough to get my ski pass.

And this is season 21.

So once you hit 25 years, you get a lifetime ski pass.

Going into the winter, I know I have to ask my parents for at least 50 hours of babysitting.

They know that's coming.

It is what it is.

But then I'm hesitant to ask them for outside of that because to your point, Annie, there's this metaphorical bank of time that I'm allowed to ask for.

But then there's other people and they wouldn't.

If I asked them for any time, they would always say yes.

If their schedule is allowed, they still work.

So there's that.

But there's other people too where I'd it is weird to ask at all.

And then there's other people who are like, do you want to just like live with us? I'm like, no, I like my autonomy.

I am a single mom by choice for a reason.

But I feel like I have the spectrum, but there is a conscious effort in who I'm asking for what and when.

Andrea, you go.

Yeah, I am the same.

I feel like I only have my mom really to help.
