haha I LOVE that game! I’m going to give it a go tonight!

I just wish people realized how short the window is. When he was three, I took my son to the Lights at the Zoo thing. Just the two of us, because our daughter was an infant and she stayed home with my wife.

Which is bullshit, all parents lie to their kids about something. We do the elf and Santa and I will never feel bad about it, I figure this will probably be the last year that she truly believes in the magic. I wouldn't take back one moment of the last 6 years and I sure won't apologize.

As mentioned, I post it on instagrams and if my “friends” want to unfollow I guess they can? I don't really care. If they hate something that makes us happy then they likely aren't great buds.

i am right there with you. to be honest, i was a bit shocked by some of the comments. they come off really judgy and snooty, claiming they would never “lie” to their kids and i find that a little frustrating.

We have an elf. I am not particularly creative with it. Today I put it in my husband’s shower. Took them forever to find it so I enjoyed a second cup of tea with no harassment. People really need to look for the positives. :P

I get that feeling too but a lot of the commenters haven’t had kids so I just smile slyly to myself, because perhaps one day, they’ll see that fixing a kid a different dinner is just fine, or sitting them in front of a cartoon or 3 for a nice moment of parental zen won’t kill them. Personally I got excited to do the…

We do the elf. I’m into it, I really love crafty things so this is like a holiday crafty challenge., I post some of my favourite ones on my instagram. My kid isn’t having this terrified reaction though, she usually finds it and says that Pinpin is funny.

A garbage disposal would be this:

I’m going to blow your mind here — what you have personally experienced doesn’t actually encompass everything that exists in the world.

I’ve never seen a garbage disposal worker at all, maybe because I’ve never had a garbage disposal. Anyway it’s odd that you’d mention it.

I’ve seen both. You must live in the smallest hamlet in a sleepy valley.

“My beloved homeless people that I spend my life protecting”is a dumb thing to say, to be fair.

You sound like the best mom! I know this is a weird context in which to say this but I'm really happy for you and your daughter.

Honestly...
