This is unreal in that I am literally 43 minutes into the first episode as I type. I’d been hearing such great things and was intrigued by the premise, who doesn’t want to know how these things really work? It is fantastic and I am already hooked. Even my husband, who had to be manipulated into it (aren’t you curious…

That is really good advice but damn is it difficult :(

This speaks to me and if you don’t trademark Tiny Decision Fatigue Syndrome then I may have to steal it. I think this tends to be a direct result of the sudden onset of Indecisive Incompetent Spouse disease which I hear is treated with a swift kick in the pants to be applied to offending regions as needed.

Nice. You know what (and this may get me in trouble with the ladies) but I’ve come to find: sometimes the pee is ours. I used to rail at my husband and then realized that angle and strength of stream etc could make it so I was getting pee under the seat. Whew, that feels good to admit. Still haven't told my husband so…

Oh we’ve talked about it and he denied it so what I’ve taken to doing is going “I’m not sure, what do you think?” My 2 year old probably thinks we’re incredibly stupid since neither of us appears to know if he should be taken upstairs to bed or where anything is :) I totally agree is learned behavior: his mom does…

Bribe her to agree with you.

I have solved the eternal toilet seat debate: the person who cleans the toilet sets the default seat position. An elegant and just solution.

I like your flower/gardener analogy. I think what works is when you are both for each other. Like you take care of each other in the particular way that you each require. I help manage a lot of the day to day stuff that overwhelms my husband and help manage his anxiety and he keeps me longterm focused and listens to…

See I thought they were both peeing.

I want to get in on this. My pet peeve is when he feigns stupidity/incompetence. Example.

Yeah we’re the same: bedtime, nap time, and mommy is busy and is tired of hearing endless requests for the “P, P, P, P!” My dad’s a dentist and says the idea that it messes with your teeth is going out of favor and so I figure no big harm. Also the friends I have who’ve been rigorous about early weaning off the…

Okay this is admittedly a rough draft but I’m thinking something along the lines of:

He’s also working on making “Brownbacking” a thing after Kansas’s Sam Brownbacking.

I just wrote a way less comprehensive version of this post but this, this should be the final word.

I do think it’s upon parents to take some strategic steps and here, maybe they did...?

This makes me laugh because I remember being pregnant and eating at restaurants watching kids with tablets/smart phones thinking “Uh, no! That won’t be my kid. I’m going to limit screen time blah blah blah.” Now he’s 23 months and the PBS kids app is my savior time and time again! There is no bargaining, reasoning, or…

Good lord away messages, both writing my own and endlessly analyzing other people's, took up so much of my time and emotional effort during college.

I’ll be waiting at your k-k-k-kitchen door.

She wasn’t a cute, co-Ed saying yes sir, no sir and acting meekly respectful. (Originally I thought the previous stop was a white girl but I've read elsewhere this was incorrect)

Yeah he's the professional and we can and should hold him to the higher standard. The onus isn't on the citizen to be obsequious and deferential in order not to be treated to this kind of power trip BS.
