This master manipulator will keep me up all night then look like this in the morning.

At least we will be able to tell them apart!

Is this how everyone else convinces kids to get dressed? Here's a brief list of things that are easier to do than getting the twins to wear anything other than. PJs: giving an anal examine to a nervous tiger whilst blindfolded, eating a porcupine whole, working out how bitcoin actually works, Convincing an octopus that they are actually a women in their mid 40's. I could go on. During this pandemic, the need to get properly dressed has gone the way of the dodo, so now the only way I can convince them that garms are good idea is by: promising TV time, doing throws to the moon (no this is not photoshop), reading a book is a stupid voice that makes my throat horse, giving them nutella at 15 minute intervals all day & generally chasing them around with clothes until they're wrestled to the ground & promptly kick me in the face. Is this just a problem in my house hold or do all kids just wear PJS 24/7 now? #putsomedamnclotheson #PJsforlife #parenting #fod #dadlife

We stopped at McDonald's to get McFlurrys and the machine was broken. As we pulled away I said, "Shoulda guessed." And I heard a tiny voice from the back say, "Sometimes you gotta let that shit go." So if anyone needs a life coach...

My daughter was playing “princess” with her dolls and when the prince came to see the princess she said, “give me a true love’s cake” and if that isn’t a whole vibe, I don’t know what is.

I regret my abortion so much that I feel suicidal

Therapy isn’t helping. No one is helping. I just feel like I want to go back in time. My relationship wouldn’t have ended had I just given things more time and kept the pregnancy. I hate myself. I could’ve had a happy family and I let fear drive me. The man I was with I was only dating for a very short period of time when we found out I was pregnant, and anytime problems arose, he just gave me the silent treatment and stopped answering the phone for a while, sometimes a few hours, sometimes a few days. I don’t even understand if he broke up with me months ago or if he thinks I broke up with him. I brought up the topic of abortion and he disappeared for a few days and never talked to me about It. He just stopped talking to me and we haven’t talked in 4 months now. I miss him. I miss the pregnancy. I want that life now. I don’t know why I feel this way. It’s just so strong and I can’t live with myself.

How many jackets is my kindergartner going to leave at school?

So far: 4, thankfully we've gotten 2 of them back. He first lost his Spiderman jacket, then his "Coco" jacket, then a maroon one, and now his winter jacket. I have asked his teacher multiple times about these and I don't know if it's miscommunication or what, but she said the coco and maroon weren't in the classroom (they were and came home after a call to the office) and now she says his winter jacket is there (but twice now it hasn't made it home). I just want my son to come home with his jackets especially when Dallas is entering a record freeze.

14/15 year old getting the chance to study abroad, need outside input!?

Our eldest is 14 and has been invited to study abroad for 4 months next year (so hopefully COVID won’t be a blocker!) and she would have just turned 15 at the time of the trip. I am on the fence about whether to let her go. Her school has a comprehensive exchange program with their ‘sister school’ and due to her performance has been selected to be part of the program if we give the go ahead. She would board at the school and all pastoral care would be taken care of but I’m honestly conflicted and wanted to see what other parents view on this would be. Has anyone on here let theirs go abroad to study for such a long period of time (or longer) who could maybe put our minds at ease? I don’t want to hold her back, but then again I just don’t feel super easy about my then 15 year old in a foreign country for so long.
