Children are wild my 4 yo is currently screaming bloody murder in the back of the car because I won't acknowledge that she's screaming bloody murder. Make it make sense girl
I can already smell the comments, no I am not neglecting or ignoring my child. I very calmly told her "I love you and I am here for you and when you can talk to me without yelling at me I am happy to talk about what you need. You can yell all you want to, but don't expect mommy to fight against you for your own attention"
And she is yelling "IM MAD AND I DONT KNOW WHHHHHHHYYYYY AHHHHHHHHHHH" so we're obviously just working through some stuff 🤣
screaming abruptly stops
tiny voice says "uhm mama I am done schreaming"
"Okay honey. Can you tell me what was wrong now?"
"Uhm I can't fink. I think I just need a pretzel"
honestly same girlie
Incredible dialogue from NorthernLion on raising kids
They are right it takes a village. Because parenting one on one – two on one is a free space in Bingo, that's nothing. Oftentimes you're gonna be one on one. Parenting one on one is way more taxing than parenting eight on eight. I think it's a little bit like basketball.
Eight on eight is easy, man. The kids play with each other, every once in a while one of the kids does something wrong and one parent goes like HEY KNOCK IT OFF.
And then everyone's on their best behavior for like ten minutes. When you're in a group setting with many parents who have kids, one parent just by using their dad or mom voice can apply an AoE debuff on at least six kids. Whereas if you use your dad voice on your kid one-on-one, I mean that's a targeted spell. You're wasting the radius of the AoE. So it's less energy efficient, let's put it that way.
Had my suspicions but I have finally confirmed it this morning: The rival Pokémon Go team I have been beefing with, whose gym's total annihilation I have incorporated into my morning routine, is actually a group of local elementary school students
I always wondered why the Pokémon at this gym were so weak but today I left the house before the local students get picked up by the schoolbus and I saw a group of kids congregating around the gym pokestop and I was like "Oh no"
Congrats on being promoted to pokemon villain
this is the type of work they’re gonna make high school art students study in ten years
1) the fact that the camera is not level
2) the unsexiness of the Velcro sound
3) the barely-qualifies-as-kick of the leg kick
4) the fact that I truly cannot tell if the slip was planned or not
