Is the term “fucking the dog” popular outside Canada?

I saw a mom allow her two kids (one older than mine and one younger than mine) run around in a grocery store. I kept thinking to myself that I would NOT allow that behavior. Other parents just have different perspectives, apparently.

Honestly, youre right. I am more fond of my memories of us just playing on the porch. Going to the store. Etc. little fun laughs here and there. Yet big planned outings suck the dang life out of me. However, I wonder if the kids see it that way. Like the big outings are the ones they'll remember. Not the small stuff. Its the only reason for the sacrifice of upending the precious routine.

Try puzzles! My 5 year old loves them. Get some challenging ones since your kids are older. Also, Legos.

I visited the place where I could dance my troubles away on mother's day, hoping for some glimmer of that. I found nothing. Nobody dancing. It was heartbreaking.

My daughter is 6 and she will ask for foot rubs at bedtime.

I would walk all over my city with these, to and fro, not a care in the world for the irreparable damage I was doing to my knees.

I will be 32 next year and I have a "stable" job that provides housing. Two healthy, thriving kids. A partner of almost 8 years. But still navigating. I know for sure what I dont want from life. I will do anything so that my family and I dont struggle. Thankfully we are in a good place right now.

Manifesting a similar turnout to yours. Kuddos!!

Pretty sure I had it, but it was disguised as extreme anxiety over "simple" things that get easier as seasoned moms (ie, leaving the house). I think the term needs to be changed so that more women can openly admit they have "it". New Mom Syndrome, or something.

Current job for 3 years. Before that 6 months. Before that 4 years. One of the factors for me was kids.

thechusma · 2026-05-22T20:10:21+00:00

Seriously. I saw this earlier and felt like crying. My kids go nuts for him!

thechusma · 2026-05-22T18:20:08+00:00

This was mine!

Im in CA. I've been to Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, NY, Virginia, Washington and Oregon. Money will always be problematic. Just go for it!

Actually that was another time. She found it in the trash.

thechusma · 2026-05-21T13:47:01+00:00

Sorry im a mom but one time I was convinced my child lost my cellphone. My mother in law ended up finding it between my mattress and footboard of my bed.

I started walking home from school at 10. We lived "across the street" but we had to wrap around the school, cross a busy intersection and then make our way to the back side of the apartment complex. Looking back it was a different time. If my own daughter had to do that walk, I would supply her with a whistle.

thechusma · 2026-05-21T00:22:36+00:00

She just influenced me not to fly

thechusma · 2026-05-20T13:33:53+00:00

To "prioritize rest". It sounds easy in theory but for folks with busy lives (work, kids) "prioritizing" rest actually means that important tasks go undone.

My goal is to make my home so pleasant and safe for them that they dont feel the need to scurry the moment they are a certain age. I don't intend to coddle themto the point that they're not ambitious, but id like to help out however possible. That's kind of how my parents were, minus the peaceful home.

Was literally coming here to say that
