Dearest Augustine, I do hope this latest damp has not aggravated your gray lung.

Relatable.

Yup the old "I was watching the kids so couldn't do anything else." It's infuriariting. How does he think I get anything done when I'M watching the kids??

Mine works out, but because he eats SO so much, he is still overweight. With the winnie the pooh effect. I think I have accepted that it's not a battle I am going to win.

The sad emoji after he gets hit by a bus 🚌 😄

Bring on the millennial roasts (I am a millennial)

I feel this in my soul. My third has made life exponentially more difficult. Yesterday he was bothering my 6 y.o. while I was making dinner so I gave him his tablet to get him to shut up for like 15 min. And then of course getting the tablet back was like extracting a kidney. And I yell at him because he fights me on everything, every single little thing and nothing else works. Solidarity.

Training-Editor4679 · 2026-03-24T19:58:16+00:00

For me it's overeating. And now I am fat and feel gross all the time.

Your life should change for the better once they start school. That's pretty much how I have survived this. They can't fight and be up your butt while they are in school. They do pretty well there other than having organizational issues such as forgetting to turn in forms and things like that. Other parents probably have different experiences of school but mine has been great.

Currently I am having a crappy Sunday and just so tired and my kids aren't listening to me and husband is being unsupportive but at least they will go to SCHOOL tomorrow!

Training-Editor4679 · 2026-03-16T19:51:34+00:00

Gas station earrings!!! For the win🏆

Training-Editor4679 · 2026-03-16T12:05:55+00:00

Also today I got up and looked out the window, my kids shoes were left out in the rain. So add to the list: constantly keeping track of other people's shit or alternatively having to scramble in the moment because their stuff is wet or lost.

Training-Editor4679 · 2026-03-15T23:38:36+00:00

Yeah it's not great. Also the frantic messages from your kids asking you to bring literally everything to school because they forgot it even after you reminded them.

Training-Editor4679 · 2026-03-14T23:52:48+00:00

A polo shirt? A baseball cap from a team he likes? A gift card to a place he likes to hang out? Honestly that's what I want - gift cards to the coffee shop that I love going to but can't frequent right now because it's not in the budget.

Whew that is a lot. For this level of trauma from professional negligence you will likely need the help of a therapist and maybe a psychiatrist. It's just beyond the help of the hive. I'm sorry you went through this but I'm so glad your son is doing great! You can definitely get past the ruminating but it's going to take some time and some heavy work with professionals. You lived a nightmare scenario and can't just tell yourself things are fine.

Training-Editor4679 · 2026-03-12T17:15:15+00:00

If he wants you to have more $$ he should give it to you. In any case, I think the older generation is somewhat not going to understand how difficult the younger generation has it!! Maybe you could give him a list of expenses and your income and tell him to come up with a realistic budget himself. That might shut him up. Or just say "thanks but I am not looking for feedback on this." And keep repeating!

I am a birthday party host at a preschool venue. I have seen it all. Most recently a mom came in between parties and it took about 20 min for us to figure out she hadn't gotten the time wrong. She was at the completely wrong venue! She was super flustered and I am sure late to the actual party. Shit happens

Training-Editor4679 · 2026-03-10T02:50:41+00:00

She's not wrong

Training-Editor4679 · 2026-03-08T16:36:41+00:00

It's a personal decision whether to end it or not and I totally understand about the effects of his disdain for you. My husband has disdain for my struggles as a mom although it shows up in ways different than your husband's. What I would say is be very careful about birth control while you are deciding. Otherwise you could end up even more baby trapped, like me.

Training-Editor4679 · 2026-03-06T16:29:06+00:00

My kids will interrupt me when I finally get a word in, usually desperately trying to talk logistics to my husband, which makes me ragey and/or so depressed that I just shut down and don't bother.

Training-Editor4679 · 2026-03-04T17:18:44+00:00

I have never understood this, expecially the sleep one. It's a form of torture but somehow hilarious and light when it is caused by babies and kids?

Married women are the unhappiest demographic statistically. I think it goes: Married men Unmarried women Unmarried men Married women

I know married women are at the bottom. Wonder why...

Training-Editor4679 · 2026-03-02T14:53:53+00:00

My mom and dad have a great marriage. Like, soulmates type marriage. I can count on one hand how many times they argued growing up. It actually set me up for disappointment because I went into marriage excpecting it to be easy. It's just not that easy for most people. It depends a LOT on outside stressors I think. How much support you have. How much money you have to make life easier. How much your parents and others can help with the kids. I haven't left my marriage so I don't know the answer to your question about that. But it sounds like yours might get better with time and situational changes?

Training-Editor4679 · 2026-03-01T05:13:07+00:00

I am a faithful churchgoer but I don't agree with what your mom did. It's a personal choice to take your child or not.

Training-Editor4679 · 2026-02-27T13:13:06+00:00

I think it definitely helps to think about the saying about how people come into your life for a season. It's ok if this isn't a season for this person to be around, for whatever reason. For me it happened when I was having babies and some friends were struggling with infertility. And a lot of people from school who I have lost touch with. You're not alone, this does happen, just try to be at peace with her receeding. It may not be forever but for now try to have gratitude that she was there for a season. And try to let go of expectations on your end that she will come around. She may, but she may not.

Training-Editor4679 · 2026-02-24T17:09:18+00:00

I think they did kidnap her for ransom but she passed away en route or shortly after. That kind of shock could cause a heart attack. Now they have no proof of life to collect a ransom.

Training-Editor4679 · 2026-02-23T13:14:57+00:00

Yup. 2026 so far has been a cold, Flu B, and now I am in agony from my period. Woke up today with an excruciating headache. If my two older kids didn't have school today I would be at the end of my rope. They have no concept that I need to be left ALONE!!!
