@atreides82 I’m so sorry. Listen, your mom insisting that a two 2 y/o children absolutely be potty trained by a specific date is complete madness. I will bet you she never had to do that. It’s just not how it works.

I do not know what to do. I have been messing up every single day. I am exhausted. I never get enough rest. For context we live in NYC. My wife was supposed to go to the Statue of Liberty with our daughter on Wednesday; that is what my wife told me. I bought the tickets on November 1st. I made...

@theadmiral I could have written this post. Everything is so tough right now. It’s an incredibly difficult and unusual situation. Have you tried a double bourbon?

@katrina2017 lol. Thank you.

@colier Hi. Thank you so much. I read your comment and I thought the same thing, why give them a second thought? You’re right. Thank you so much! You made my day.

@gr82bfreenjesus Oh right! thank you

@gr82bfreenjesus rbf?

@twilliam Thank you so much for this. I was never blaming my kid for not being on time as some people inferred; I was just saying it’s mild chaos getting everyone out the door in time. Frequently my wife is on a work call so I’m doing everything myself. I do get up early. I do prep everything. I...

@seekinggracefully So I'm basically the same way. I'd say I always had a backbone because if something was really and truly wrong, I'd say something (rare), but I was always a people pleaser and I'd always be positive and just get through any situation as best I could, conflict free as possible...

@arrows Thank you. It totally helps typing it out and getting it "out there," just to at least let it all go, and I didn't want to go over it with my wife (who already has a ton on her mind, work, etc.,) or dwell on it in front of my kids because why tax them with any of it? Yes, I was totally...

@edwina87 The latter, 100%. I’m always waking her up in time but getting cooperation meaning her to actually wake up takes so much time and I’m so gentle and I’m trying multiple times over and over and then we’re OK in terms of being on time but every step of the process takes so long.

@mycologist 😂😂😂

Today, I'm driving my family to catch a ferry. We stop at a grocery store. We park in front because all the spaces are taken and my wife is running into the store, but now my 4 y/o has insisted on going with her. My 1 1/2 y/o has been screaming for the past ten minutes because she wanted to get...

@luris Thank you for this. I have read many comments saying how this is 100% my fault and I should do better. I get up before anyone else. I prep everything. I get my wife's coffee. I handle basically everything. I'm only one person. Even if everything is set to go on time, if my 5 y/o isn't up...

@paige_something 1991 American comedy film directed by Frank Oz and starring Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss.

@newfoundlight10 You know what? I used to be a music teacher and I had one particular class that was absolutely terribly behaved. 8th graders. They were not that well-behaved as 6th graders and they got progressively worse. Every teacher in the school knew this and commiserated about it. One...

@bbfantastic Moses basket or bassinet, Diapers, wipes, Bottles, Clothes (duh), Soft toys, Board books to read, Baby Bjorn bouncer bliss chair (for when baby isn’t sleeping)

@akdamar I’m going to be totally honest with you and my situation is probably not typical, but basically I’m the SAHD and my wife works a very stressful and intense job. My breaks are few. I don’t get help with the housework or chores. I’m always on duty. Occasionally I’ll go to the gym while my...

@dovelove514 Thank you. It’s the ultimate stressor. Ugh.

Fellow SAHPs, I need your advice. Context: We’re the only ones on the playground. I forgot we had stupid water balloons in the stroller, but my kids didn’t. So I indulge them by doing water balloons. We’re five minutes from home so it’s fine, but later on my 1.5 y/o has taken off her shoes and...
