The adults in the house are not supposed to help the 1st graders during class. I both like and hate this part. Many times a day I hear the teacher say,” Traveler I can’t see you.” because my son is on the floor again.

A childhood friend’s parents inherited a parrot when the grandfather died. Not only did they have to drive out of state to collect it, the bird turned out to have a vocabulary made mostly of swears and sexual innuendo.

Perfect if you want your faith in happy endings ruined

Read it, it’s a fantastic book and a good introduction to Du Maurier’s style. Also check out ‘The Parasites’ and ‘The Scapegoat’.

My four-year-old vogues and poses like he’s in the final 3 on Drag Race. It’s great and I’m so pleased he can express himself, but God Almighty kid I’m trying to make dinner. Your Happy pose and your Excited pose are basically the same thing as your Surprise pose. I’ve seen all of them about 500 times and the…

Went to the park with my goober the other day. Some kids a little bit older found some dried bird poop on the swings and were picking it up with their fingers and showing it around.
I feel so much better about them going to school in 3 weeks, we can totally rely on them to remember social distancing, hand washing, not…

Are you saying there are parents out there who don’t hide their best snacks from their kids? I’ve been stashing things on the tippy-top shelf pratically since he was old enough to chew. Little monkey still practically gets life handed to him, let him get his own snacks.

Full length mirrors in the stalls.

It’s time to embrace a name relevant to our future, in climate hell. Go Deer Ticks!

My son is supposed to be starting school this September. Reopening plans have ranged from 1 full day a week, “isolation groups”, 5 half days, full blown completely normal all day schedules - it keeps changing. I’m worried about how to prepare him.

I realized recently I have almost no pictures of myself with my son, and onyl one with my new daughter from a few minutes after she was born. As the mum, I’m the one grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends etc. contact when they want pictures of the children. So I’m always the one taking the photos and distributing them.

I live in a region where lamb is a major part of the economy. Unfortunantly, it means you can’t get mutton for love or money unless you’re on the ball enough to order it from the butcher months in advance.

I get this from people when I kill and eat one of my chickens, which I know have lived a far, far better life than the “acceptable” ones who end up in the supermarket.

My dad has had this one up in his workshop since before I can remember.

Where is that? Can you explain what it’s meant to represent?

We have a toddler and a new baby, so our laundry is running every day now. Until you can put poopy onesies in the dishwasher, I’m sticking with the washing machine.

I would feel very uncomfortable if someone served an entire ham that had been microwaved instead of baked in the cooker. It just... seems so unhealthy.

My enormous colander, about 3ft in diameter. We found it secondhand and assume it must have come from a resturant. I love it dearly, even though it’s so big, it’s almost useless. It lives on top of the wall cupboard because it won’t fit in the pan drawer, and vastly overshadows the sink. We mostly use it as a giant…

My son and his close friend, both age 4, have a scheduled “child conference” every Friday to help them cope with closure of play group and nursery. They both wander on and off camera, usually to gather toys to show each other. There is heavy use of those random face filters. At some point, one of them will go hide in…
