Morning drop off is a toss of the dice. I have NO idea if she’s going to shrug and be fine or if I’m going to gently lay down a screaming child, put a hand on her torso so she can’t get up, and make a run for the door.

I have found that letting them know I’m getting overwhelmed helps everyone step back before big explosions. It’s super important for kids to see that their parents get overwhelmed too.
We used MathTango and Endless ABC’s as iPad games to potty train. (sit on the potty and play on the iPad) She was reading sentences before kindergarten. This is mind boggling to me considering I didn’t start reading until second grade. She’s six and thanks to the Hack Packs from Crunchlabs is working on breadboards…. I don’t even know what that is.
Trying to sleep train Liz just made her more angry and she’d stay up for HOURS screaming. Viv actually kicked me out of the nursery.
Turns out walking through crowds is a learned skill that some kids haven’t developed yet. Especially when they’ve spent half their life away from crowds.
except we have a kid now who uses cleaning up as a stalling tactic and it fucking works.
And I change into pajama pants when I put the kids to bed. Also, I drew the comic wrong. It’s late! I wanna go to bed! Tomorrow I’ll have Liz draw the comic and I’ll go to bed at 7:30pm.
