1. You will get unsolicited advice. Like all advice, this will often be wrong. It will also be intensely personal and judgmental. Try diffusing this by asking for small favors instead (eg. “can you hold the baby for half an hour while I take a nap?” or “could you run to the store to pick up __ for me?”)
2. The one piece of advice that’s always correct and that you’ll ignore the most is “take some rest.”
