Things I have done that were more painful/harder/scarier than labor
- Speaking in front of a large group
- Standing up for myself

- Watched someone I care about screw up their life
- Letting my child face the consequences of their actions rather than protecting them from them
- Killing various large spiders
Perspective matters - no matter how silly it is.
