  • Unfortunately my ex couldn’t breastfeed. It was just too painful for her. So she would pump and/or we would use formula. I would give her breaks by putting the kids to bed so she could have time to herself to decompress. Every night I would fall asleep with them in my arms. Best freaking memories I have are sleeping with my kids when they were young.


  • Oh man, it’s the best feeling in the world when your kid picks you.

    My kids are 10 and 12, and we still have a bedtime routine where I lay with them for a few minutes (sometimes we chat about nothing and everything). My 12 yo has anxiety that manifests as fear of the dark, so I spend a little extra time with him. He seems mostly over it now; sometimes he’ll tell me he doesn’t want me to lay with him (I can’t help but feel pride when he does, because I know that means he’s not scared to be alone).

    Anyway, all of that to say that it’s the best feeling in the world, and I hope you have many more years with your daughter at bedtime to hang out and bond.






  • Despite my executive disfunction, I find enjoyment in doing household chores; more so than I do with my job.

    Plus, everything piling up over the week is what I find stressful. So I try very, very hard to do at least one thing a day, every day. At least that way, no matter how bad my executive disfunction gets, I can at least say I’ve done something.

    Today my goals are;

    1. Take my dog to the park and walk around for a bit.
    2. Start cleaning up and see what it’ll take to fix my garage.

    That’s it. If I end up doing more, then that’s icing on the cake. But at the very least, I want to be able to close my eyes tonight with some satisfaction.

    ~I know this is shitposting, but this gives me the excuse to verbalize my intentions and have the universe hold me accountable. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.~
