Got a call from school AGAIN. Same issue. I know exactly what every parenting book would say, I know the script. Tonight I just want to be tired and frustrated without fixing it. Thanks for letting me say it out loud.
Two years of fighting over who-touched-what and tonight he came up and said 'I want him close because the lightning is scary for him.' I cried in the hallway. Sharing this here because nobody at work would get it.
I let my kid have 4 hours of screen time today so I could finish a work deadline. I'm not even sorry. I'm just tired.
She begs because her friends watch it. I watched the first episode and I'm not sure. Looking for honest takes from parents whose kids are on the sensitive side — did you let yours watch, and how did it go?
We were Bluey-deep for years. Hilda has the same warmth without the toddler energy. My 8yo is hooked, and I actually enjoy watching it with her. Not sponsored — just genuinely good.
I thought sleep deprivation would be the worst of it. Five years in, I'd take a sleepless newborn over the relentless emotional labor of an 8yo any day. Tell me I'm not alone — what hit you out of nowhere?
