A hand is all you will get as I will be protecting my sons identity. But happy to announce that on the 16th of February 2023 at 21h57, my handsome and healthy son came in to this world. 🥰

AM I WRONG FOR CHOOSING MY MOTHER OVER MY WIFE? My wife and I have a son who is about to turn five. For years, my parents, mostly my mother, have provided full time childcare at no cost. She follows every rule we set, no screens, no sweets, routines exactly as asked, and our son adores her. We genuinely could not afford daycare, and even if we could, it would not compare. Recently, we learned my parents have been quietly paying my older brother’s rent. He has a long history of poor choices, and my wife made a sharp comment about favoritism and how the problem child always gets rewarded. My mother snapped back hard, saying she spends forty hours a week caring for our child and can do whatever she wants with her money, even waste it entirely. The language was intense and shocked everyone. My wife demanded an apology. My mother apologized for the wording but doubled down on the message, saying her finances are not up for debate…….. 👇

Ashanti being pregnant at 43, Janet Jackson being pregnant at 50 and Halle Berry being pregnant at 47 is proof that you don't have to rush and start a family 🥰

My daughter hasn’t seen her biological father since she was 4. She’s 11 now. Years ago, he asked if I’d agree to terminate his parental rights so he could stop paying child support. I said yes. I figured losing the money was worth protecting her from a lifetime of broken promises and disappointment. I never lied to her about him though. Whenever she had questions, I answered them honestly in the most age-appropriate way I could. When she was 4, he reached out saying he had cancer and wanted to see her. I agreed. We planned a day at the park and he asked for two hours with her. He stayed 20 minutes. After that, we never heard from him again. This summer we ran into someone who knows him. They casually mentioned how much my daughter looks like his other kids and explained that he’s married now with a whole family. The second they said it, my heart sank. I immediately thought about how painful that must feel for her. I wrapped up the conversation quickly and we got into the car. I looked over expecting sadness, anger… something. Instead, she smiled. She said, “Mom… I’m glad he figured out how to be a good dad. That’s really nice for his kids.” And just like that, an 11-year-old taught me more about forgiveness than most adults ever could.

Men: “Women initiate most divorces.” Correct. Women also initiate most breakups, most therapy, most emotional labor, and most attempts to fix things before leaving. Men just initiate most denial and most problems.

"why didn't you just say no?" men when women say no:

Woman: “Would you take your wife’s last name?” 96% of men: “No! My name is part of who I am.” and same ques Woman: “I agree, that’s why I’m keeping my last name too.” 63% of men: “It sounds like you’re trying to hang onto your ‘single person’ identity.”

when my 4-year-old’s daycare held a “lunch with mom” event, every single mom showed up. we all have other jobs, which is why our kids are in daycare but we took off work or actually found a way to get there in the middle of the day. and now, they’re doing an event for the dads … at 6:30 in the evening. it’s a small example, but the double standards are real.
