Original caption

The biggest flex is to provide for my wife and her taking care of our son! Growing up with immigrant parents, they were ALWAYS grinding and working. I respect the hell out of them for chasing the “American dream”. But looking back at my childhood, the only thing I remember when I was young, was that they were always working and I was at daycare or my grandparents. I wanted my son to have a different childhood if we’re able to make it happen. And that’s what we’re doing!🖤 #businessowner #sahm #sahmlife #parenting
