    Y’know, usually I get annoyed at adults when they try to randomly help me when I don’t want or need help. Now, because of this, I am just going to act like they have as pure of an intent as a toddler and treat them accordingly.

      It’s a good outlook to have. When you assume people have good intentions it makes a world of difference.

      That would also help your own stress levels, being annoyed at strangers is a pathway to long term stress and relieving that is very healthy

        My personal headcanon is that every person weaving in and out of traffic on the highway is desperate to get to the hospital before their child is born. It helps me keep calm.

    My littlest person knows I deal with chronic pain and sometimes on my bad days when I’m bemoaning my back, she’ll come up and start rubbing my back in a very serious and professional way. It does absolutely nothing perceptible physically but it lights up my day so I always make sure to thank her for the excellent massage. She always replies in an equally professional way that I’m welcome. 🥰

    Yesterday my 4yo asked me to fold his sweatshirt for him when he was changing in the kindergarten. I said I would help him but I don’t know how. He smiled and explained it to me, perfectly folding it in the process.

    30 years later she’ll still cringe remembering that time she lectured an adult about elevator buttons.
