Sour Patch Mom ن

Handing down my suspicions of Mormons by reading Sherlock Holmes with my kids

@theisabelb Billions and billions! 😐😀

I’m sorry…. $66 MILLION??!!? How much of this is happening in our country right in front of our faces??

@Uniquekatie02 I recall ana anesthesiologist who did exactly this because her husband's name was Sleep (or similar). Sometimes the stars really do align!

I told myself I was keeping my last name after marriage because I’d already built my whole career with it. I already had degrees, certificates and years of professional reputation attached to mine. Then I met a man whose surname was “Cash.” The opportunity to walk into meetings and introduce myself saying, “Hi, I’m Ms. Cash from accounting,” was simply too powerful to ignore.

@mtnhousewife @PeeveyThirza Nah, my mom both homeschooled and breastfed all of us. We all had chores. I'm just overwhelmed and don't know where to begin. I'll get there, but I won't blame it on maternal neglect.

@PeeveyThirza It’s true.

I often see comments from women saying that they aren’t naturally domestic or they hate housework. Guess what? You can change! I know I used to be terribly disorganized. I had no interest in housekeeping tasks. But the more I learn and practice homemaking, the better I get at it and the more I enjoy it and even look forward to my daily work. (Today I get to refold clothes and neaten closets). Don’t give up, dear ladies.

@cybelethebest Jealous 💀

@sourpatchlyds I’m sure it will slow down lol, both of my kids just came out the gate big

Honestly, I think it’s ridiculous that every time I drop off my 2yo at Montessori, I have to drag in my 7 mo who weighs like 28 pounds in a stroller instead of just leaving him in the car for like two minutes tops. I’ve thought about doing it, but I could imagine one of the parents telling on me or something.

@LinkedInLunat1c Everyone on LinkedIn has to be trolling at this point.

My husband cheated on me but I generated 18 million in SaaS sales

@LinkedInLunat1c Now this is a humblebrag. And at her husband's expense! Despicable.

Happy Wife. Happy life? Not for this dude.

@Myllouboutin @hannastasia @TadhgHickey Of course you don't, you're a brainless Canadian. Get better! 💔

@hannastasia @TadhgHickey I’m an Canadian women and i don’t believe that Israël has the right to exist neither.

I’m an American woman and I don’t believe that Israel has the right to exist

@valerieredmi @Ahmed175143 How embarrassing. Get better! 🫶🏻

@Ahmed175143 I'm a British Muslim revert and I don't believe isreal has the right to exist, never did, never will!

I'm Yemeni man and I don't believe that Israel has the right to exist

@Ahmed175143 Of course you don't: You're a terrorist. Beep beep! 📟 😘

@hannastasia I'm an American woman and I do think Israel has a right to exist, just because every country does. My view cancels yours out. Just say you hate Jews and go join your Germany fellows. You are, in fact, the bad guys! 🏆

@The_Kyle_Mann Sooooooo he's fine? We should vote for him over the moderate republican? Just checking

This is Graham Platner. He's an energetic working-class progressive with grassroots support. His only defect is he has a literal Nazi SS death camp tattoo on his chest.

@aelfred_D @Heminator Absolutely fatal 😐☹️

@sourpatchlyds @Heminator When she’s mad she says “Trump won 3”

“Now, Michelle…let me be clear. We must not give in to those divisive and destructive voices that say ‘I just want to watch this movie’ or ‘did you take the trash out’ or ‘I’m not calling you Mr President’.”

@celestialbe1ng CS Lewis talked about this. Wisdom is wisdom, across all fields, it turns out.

You shouldn’t be protecting your heart by pretending you don’t have one, btw. Chronic emotional suppression is a stress state. It is cancerous and ages you rapidly.

@musings_blonde Cats and apples!

My son needs some help with his homework. Please comment — favorite fruit and types of pets. Thank you!

@XYZZY83382151 @CartoonsHateHer Same with Asian parenting.

@CartoonsHateHer Unlike gentile parenting, Jewish parenting involves lots of pressure to excel academically and lots of guilt. Ivy league or bust. A doctor or a lawyer are the only end goals. Tough but proven successful strategy. Oh you said "gentle"? That's very different. Never mind.

Gentle parenting isn't just about validating emotions--it's also about never providing any rewards or punishments, any relying solely on "natural consequences." But this often fails with spirited kids, and gentle parenting experts won't tell you what to do next. Link in replies.

@richmondie @CartoonsHateHer OK you need to think about this more.

@CartoonsHateHer But social behaviour is too subtle and nuanced to be put into words. 🤨

@uppityhobbit Amazing! It is so wonderful what they can do for stroke patients now!

So last Tuesday night I took twitter off my phone. I was spending WAY too much time on here and setting a bad example for the Tiny Tyrant, who was starting to notice and want to stare at the phone too. Also I would be fooling myself to think it wasn't affecting my mental health and even my aches and pains. I figured I would check in once and awhile on my MacBook - which is not conducive to carting around with a toddler. All was going well when my father called about 1 on Wednesday to tell me my mother was on her way to the ER. No movement. No response. Probable stroke. Whirlwind followed and I headed to SC the next day - a few days ahead of my planned visit. This is NOT a sad story, however. Quite the opposite. My father had been about 15 minutes away from leaving for his doctor's appointment when he noticed my mom's foot twitching oddly. He went over to her and realized something was badly wrong and called the ambulance. A very good EMT (my EMT sons know him) attended. He made a very fast call. They made excellent time to the hospital and then the ER doc called the house - catching my father before he got in the car - to ask permission to give the clot busting shot. They didn't have his cell, so if he had missed him there would have been a 30-45 minute delay in administering the shot. Shot was given and within the hour my mother was bitching about wanting coffee. NO SIGNS OF DAMAGE whatsoever. But of course I still went home to help take care of my folks and hug my mama.

@Rainmaker1973 What a lovely couple!

Martin Lorentz, a 29-year-old carpenter who spent three years helping rebuild Notre-Dame’s medieval wooden framework (the “forest” of beams) after the April 2019 fire, married his fiancée Jade inside the cathedral.
