This type of thing is so hilarious to me because it would never in a million years happen in my household. If I brought home new towels, this is the reaction I’d get from my borderline(?) autistic/OCD or something husband: “Why did you buy new towels? Do they match our current ones? Where is this going in EveryDollar? Do we even need these? We should return them.”
Mom of 10@castlehillmom

Told my husband that I added really nice new towels to our bathroom. Him: “Are they like decorative or am I allowed to use them?” Me: “There is not a single thing in this entire house that you’re not allowed to use.”

When I got my mower I thought “why are there headlights on this, that’s dumb” 5 months later I was mowing in the dark thinking “these headlights are coming in clutch” Trust the engineers

My baby (8.5mo) is already showing a strong preference for solids over milk. I have no idea if this is normal at this age??? His milk consumption has gone way down the past week or so and he’s eating solid foods like a maniac.

@iWomansplainer Boys bodies drive their food consumption. Prepare your grocery budget… If he’s digesting it. Follow his leading. His body is talking, without words, for what he needs.

@Romy_Holland The most annoying part is the immediacy of things. Unloading the dishwasher, cooking, cleaning, these can all be delayed 5mins, 30mins, 1hr, maybe even a day. Baby things usually need to happen IMMEDIATELY or else the built-in alarm will sound.

i feel like ppl without kids have the wrong idea about what parents mean when they say it’s hard. the hard part is that you have to do it every single day, but none of the tasks themselves are at all difficult, especially once you’re past the newborn stage. i would always much rather do whatever baby task is at hand than unload the dishwasher or clear up after dinner or vacuum the living room. changing a baby’s diaper isn’t hard or even unpleasant, it’s just harder than lying on the couch scrolling my phone and you’re not allowed to procrastinate it. i’ve heard ppl be like “i just don’t know if i could do it!” dude, of course you could do it. you think billions of ppl have done it, usually multiple times, but somehow it’s gonna be too hard for you? the full on mentally retarded girl who i grew up with has 4 kids. i think you can handle it.

Fellow Christians, if you want to speak into someone's life you need to have a relationship with them first. If you try to without having a rapport first (1) you'll often look like a fool and (2) they won't listen to you.

All the pieces were right here, I can't believe I didn't do this sooner. Put mine in transparency mode and can hear if my wife says something perfectly.

Game changer: Apple TV can connect to multiple pairs of AirPods simultaneously Forget garbage TV speakers or soundbars. Anything short of a good 5.1 setup is vastly inferior to this. Bonus: no concerns about loud scenes waking up our 8mo son

@iWomansplainer You're deacribing jobs that don't actually produce anything of value. Your boss lets you show up whenever you want and not do your job? This is some elective employment shit we hire women to do so they can LARP as independent 😂

I respect "my divorce was messy" way more than "we grew apart, it was amicable" Divorce is a death. Trying to sanitize it with euphemisms makes it more disturbing; it shouldn't look clean. If you're going to go down, at least go down swinging. Go out with a bang, not a whimper.

If you and your spouse were *both* opposite sexes do you think you still would have ended up together?

Wearing Crocs to a concert is silly, but they’re perfect for taking the trash out or going to the beach.

These other strollers are the shoes you put on for a day walking around the mall, to go to a concert, or for a day traveling. They’re engineered well, but have long set-up times.
