Meaning
This reads as a reflection on the hidden cost of raising a child while building a life of your own. It can be taken to mean that milestones often look simple from the outside, but are carried by years of effort, money, and restraint. It lands for anyone balancing parenthood with study or work and finally seeing both efforts meet.
