Sweet Brucie 💜💙

I hope he gets poison ivy on top of a sunburn.

The need to change the saying to You have the patience of Heather.

THE HELL?? A LOCK. Every time I think I've heard the weirdest-cruel thing he did, you share another.

Well see, there are no babies in jail so I couldn't kill the cunt.

Mr. 7 tasting Tagalongs for the first time, "I have ascended."

So much mud. So many storm warnings.

Mmmhmmm

When people talk about how they love spring I always think The one week in early May that is nice? Because winter is through March. It rains the entirety of April. Anything after the first week of May is sweltering.

Picked up my young adult son from work early because he slipped and fell into the pond. A text I never thought I'd receive. But here we are.

He's totally fine.

What an honor to be the EST 💜💙

😆

I don't have a huge preference honestly. But I don't like yellow, orange, purple, or white for cars.

I'd probably pick silver again 😆

Free is my favorite color. I've had 4 of them in my life.

The only car I had a choice about is silver. I like it.

One of my kids hates it. We haven't sung to him in 10 or 11 yrs.

🤣

My friend is getting married. I can't be there but a friend from our group will be. We are writing a few words to toast them.

Do you know how hard it is to write something and not include all the private jokes and stories 5 women in their 40's have shared? 😆

Also brevity is not our forte.

[harmonizes with you]

I LOVED chemistry in HS. Took adv chem 1&2.

In college (elem ed) I tried to take chem 130 but had to take the prereq. Prof didn't give pts for part. or atn.

I skipped every class except tests and labs. I tutored a guy.

1st test day prof said Idk how you expect to pass this class.

Straight A's

I'll hush now. I'm obviously very passionate about this. I hope you feel like the Badass Daddio you are soon.

Also, even if she has issues it is not grandpa's job to step in. Not his role.

My entire extended family and in laws hear this constantly from me "I'm his mom, I got this, let me handle this/I'm handling this, you're contributing to the problem step away/stop talking."

Absolutely. Adults expect children to act and do better than they do. Adults hold all the power and they know it. They think it's their right to boss kids around because that is the privilege of being an adult. 🙄

Food is really hard for kids but have you served an adult something they didn't order?

It does but it is a core memory and your kids will remember it as the day Dad went to bat against Grandpa. I promise you. 💚💚💚

Here, borrow some of my IDGAFness when it comes to defending kids. 🫂🔥💜💙

My friends are sick of my shit. I always take their kids' side 😆

It is the story we 5 kids retell ALL the time. It was literally the only time an adult took our side.

She kicked Gpa out of the house into the rain and threw his lasagna out after him where it stayed on the lawn until Dad came home.

Gpa left shortly after that.

(Gpa actually lived in his container truck converted to camper on our property not IN the house, so he had somewhere to go)

Here's a story: My parenteral Grandpa lived with us for a while. He was an ass. Dad wasn't home for dinner one night. Mom made lasagna. She made Gpa his own low fat cheese lasagna. He yelled at .y 4 y.o. brother who burst into tears. It's the only time Mom stood up for any of us. Dad was abusive too

Your kid watching you stand up for them is incredibly powerful. Proud of you! It only feels bad because of our programming.

Having to teach my parents how to speak to children has been exhausting. They are not allowed to parent or discipline them either. I have made that really clear.

You're hers now! You've been claimed.

Snowman! You can sing it the right way and then reverse.

Why are we twinssssss? I also have metal allergies but didn't know and now it all makes sense!

Twins! My left rear hole is closed. Fun fact, the rear holes are actually the first piercing. JCPenney did me dirty.
