The Calories Burned by Parenting
It’s the holidays. Yay!
We’ve all been double-fisting massive quantities of amazing food into our faces. Waistbands are beginning to groan in protest of the holiday splurging. Maybe some of us have nursed our guilt hangovers with super-protein-food-green-substance drinks, or spritzes of vinaigrette instead of avalanches of blue cheese dressing, it doesn’t matter. You get the point. There’s always a moment where an adult starts to calculate the ratio of pleasure at the joys of Journeying to the Center of the Dinner Table against the pain of working it off or dealing with all the additional weight and the expense of a new, “roomier” wardrobe.
This chart may go a long way toward relieving some of that guilt for parents. Parents have kids, you see. And kids are pretty rich sources of guilt already. So, additional sources of guilt like holiday nomming are just really not necessary. But! Having kids is conveniently also a kind of weight-loss bootcamp all by itself!
It’s not an official Olympic sport yet, but we believe that if sex can be classed as a kind of exercise, that parenting sure as shhhhhhhhh-igure skating can, too.
Enjoy the holidays! That’s what they’re for. Right?
