I had a bad day as a dad/partner

Your frustration is absolutely 100000% justified. Your kid is a kid. Your wife should know better and stop enabling water damage to the house.

You’re running on fumes. This is absolutely not sustainable, and especially not if you have a heart condition that is serious enough that your 4yo knows what to do in case anything happens to you. Clearly he still cares about you if he was trying to help.

Make amends with your son. Talk to your wife. Someone else said it too, but you have got to be on the same page to survive this insane phase of raising tiny people.

She basically died because she told the doctors she had taken miso. At this point she absolutely needed a D&C but because Georgia law said that's bAd, doctors risked losing their licenses to help her. And by the time they were going to, it was too late.

But hey, it was a woman who died, and she was black, so definitely not the kind of person they care about.

Ugh. So disgusting.

What are the signs you've noticed that you're getting older?

The clothing styles I wore in middle school are cool now, except those damn low rise flares will not work on me at 40 because my mid-section would flab out everywhere. Damn kids.

My shoulder still hurts from last week when I slept funny.

The idea of staying out past 10pm sounds terrible.

I almost set up a breakfast date with a friend for 7am.

I'm really excited for a larger capacity water heater.

I'm starting to do that thing where I look down to focus on small text right in front of me.

Break the wheel

I like to tell my husband about various things our daughter does when I know she's probably listening. "She helped me with dishes, I didn't even ask. She just came over and said she wanted to help, so when I asked her to dry a pile of bowls, she didn't even hesitate. She was so careful and gentle and so thorough."
