My big thing is doing activities that get their wiggles out. We’re doing ymca parent/child gymnastics right now, did it with my older too and it’s the best. I feel like a story time calm activity would be like wrestling an alligator. Or is it more bouncy/free movement?

Only have singles, and still nothing beats nap time. Maybe consider yourself lucky, everytime i take the younger to a group activity we come home with some new sickness. Our library story time is at 10am and i refuse to go this time of year.

Diff carlsbad. Random and unrelated story, about 20 yrs ago a family in an RV pulled up to a store i was at and asked which way to the caverns and i responded ‘i dunno maybe 1000 miles that way’ and their faces fell. An entire family road trip to the wrong place.

Seeing the city i live in at the bottom of this email really throwing me for a loop

Does it come with an old lady

My fave is the swimming pool companies sending it to me…the owner of a townhouse

Sell raffle tickets to win a chance to whack a piece like they do the printer in office space.

Ooo i love this! The bar is so low! Pretty much every single person on the planet except maybe a few serial killers would win before him!

Does he owe us anything: fuck yes. This is a fucking community. We share a fucking wall. Dont buy a townhouse if you dont want to be neighborly. GTFO

Me holding a baby: let me come help you! We’ll facetime my husband! We’ll try everything! I’ll lift, u yank the cord!
Asshole neighbor: *shrugs* maybe pull the cord? *immediately walks away*

A whole grown ass man in good physical shape didnt offer to help our other neighbor with her stuck garage door!

It has now been confirmed that our newish neighbors who we assumed were assholes because of the Trump sticker on their Hummer (lol) actually are assholes!

Bluesky loves discussing anything from Cars and i’m convinced it’s because just like Back to the Future, it is an A+ script.

SAME

Dont let your kids do anything alone but dont let them have screen time but they must be supervised by an adult but dont let them have social media but we dont have 3rd spaces anymore but dont talk to strangers but ask them for candy but dont eat the candy sell it back to your neighborhood dentist

Our school was on half days for 2 entire weeks because of parent / teacher conferences 🤦🏼‍♀️

And then what is this nonsense next week where school is closed monday & tuesday. Why 2 days off for veterans DAY?!

I forgot to change the time on the ok to wake clock for the older so she was up at 5:50 instead of 6:50 and the baby woke up at 5:15 and usually these are the hours i can ignore my children a bit and drink coffee and put the dishes away and make breakfast for them but today NOPE

Is there an age for kids where dst isn’t a complete nightmare on either end?

If you’re on the fence about having kids I just plopped into bed and felt something squishy and it was a pile of scrambled eggs. Not on a plate. Just…there.

I swear if zillow/redfin had a comment section we could cure the world of shitty flips

I remember jack o lanterns being in front of my house for weeks as a kid? We got 4 days this year and it’s already an actual puddle of mush

pumpkins are rotting faster than they used to, right?

My 5yo was beyond excited today when she realized her clothing size is usually a 6/7

Honestly cannot believe that I have helped create the coolest, funniest person of all time and I have to give him to this dogshit fucking society

I just assembled a water table that had directions like ‘there are no screw holes you just have to push the screws really hard through this thick plastic’. Anyways, curses to Step2 and whatever middle management dweeb wanted to save 10 cents a unit by getting rid of the screw holes

Hey orthodontist office that sponsors our elementary school (what the fuck is that even) STOP CANDY SHAMING HALLOWEEN there are plenty of other days a year to shame us into submission but do not take the joys of this holiday away.

Do you know how amazing it is when your little kid finally is brave enough to go ring a doorbell on their own and you stand at the end of the walkway cheering them on. Yeah let’s take that reward away. Fuck off to this specific part of modern parenting
