I was left alone with my two children, combined age 5, for 72 hours. It wasn’t too bad because I had the lowest expectations and surrendered all entitlement to do anything productive, enjoyable or restorative. This is the obvious key to a happy life, especially as a parent, which some low-key geniuses naturally grasp while others like me have to work at. Expect nothing and be surprised and delighted when good things happen. You might not end up the most accomplished or rich without a demanding mentality, but you almost certainly will be happy if that’s the goal.
