i found my passport while organising my handbags today and i can’t even celebrate it with my friends and family because i have been concealing the fact that it was lost for two months

the problem with “sleep when the baby sleeps” is i’d like to also feel like a human being

Say a hen needed a bathroom break. I would gladly sit on the egg. That’s just who I am

My five year plan is to see how it goes

idea for a small act of thoughtfulness for parents in your life: take photos of them with their kids whenever a friend sends me a candid of me w/ my kid, it's so awesome. awesome to have the actual photo, and just to feel seen/considered

子どもが生まれてわかったこと ・睡眠不足がこんなに人格を変えるとは思わなかった ・夫婦間の不満が産後に一気に噴き出す ・子どもへの愛情と自分の時間への未練は両立する ・お金の不安が出産前の3倍になる ・「かわいい」と「しんどい」が同時に存在する ・自分の親がどれだけ大変だったかやっとわかった ・子どもは親の言うことより見ている背中で育つ ・人生の優先順位が全部書き換えられた 最近ようやく8時間眠れるようになりました

any room can be a rage room if you just give me a fucking minute

My ducks may not be in a row, but at least they're having fun. Your ducks probably hate you for making them line up like that.

forgive me karl marx for i have bought

my nervous system works so well like im literally nervous all the time

There's 2 birds throwing stones at me

😭😭

There’s a moment that happens to new parents, probably around four in the morning, when you’ve been up all night with a sick kid, and they’ve just thrown up again, and you’re so fucking tired and frustrated, but it’s outweighed by the sympathy you feel for this helpless dependent, and most of all you just want them to feel better, and then it hits you that this is what your mom did for you, and in that moment you understand your parents in a new way, fully comprehend what they did for you — like, you really get it, way down in your stomach, not just in the abstract way that anybody can understand what parents do for children — and you realize that from now on you’re always going to see things from the perspective of the parent, not as a child, and a lot of your complaints and hangups and neuroses will melt away, never to return, and from now on the stories you’ll tell about your childhood, stories you’ve told 1000 times before, will have a slightly different character, will be based on a fuller understanding of who you are and what actually happened to you, and you’ll think, “my God, in all those years of childlessness, I’ve cheated myself of this realization, of this opportunity to understand the world as it really is and move on.” And if you’re childless and reading this, then maybe you’re thinking, “sure, but obviously I can intellectually understand this without having children of my own” and it’s just, like, no, probably not. It just doesn’t really work like that.

Today’s to do list: 1. Bite off more than I can chew 2. Build Rome in one day 3. Poke a bear with a stick 4. Beat a dead horse 5. Skate on thin ice

actually all of my systems are nervous

Giving your partner a break from decision fatigue is a love language. Removing someone's mental load is the highest form of consideration.

the dead horse is beating me
