Tiny Complaints

Oooooo, they have both but the kit is OOS for the season too. They do have the mix, but it doesn’t include the fruit, which is essential.
Well, I know what I’m doing next year even if I can get to the bakery!

  1. It’s very cold. I had a shower and I can’t get warm. I’m wearing layers and hiding out under many blankets and dogs and shivering. Wet hair is horrible in cold.
  2. Bigger kid skipped breakfast, as he usually does. Then he tried to skip lunch so I harassed and threatened him into eating. He screamed at me and spilled his food and cried because people need food to be emotionally regulated. I don’t like being the bad guy and I don’t like it when he’s an asshole. So I’m staying under my blankets and hiding from humans until I feel good again.

Unless some crappy song is in the background that clearly isn’t part of the video. Then they’re on it!

My MIL got Latte a lift that flap horse book that is so painfully and needlessly gendered it makes me a bit ill.

I thought it was going to be one of those horsegirl things and thought it wasn’t that bad when I saw the page about Cobalt. And then I scrolled down.

Need some kindling for a nice cozy fire?

I didn’t even include the page with the freakishly sexualized Arabian mare. Which is not only weirdly gendered, it’s covertly racist!

I suppose the only perk to this book is that her current way of interacting with lift the flap books is to utterly destroy them. So I will watch this process with glee. And not read any of the words to her.

I’m about to have an aneurysm from that book though :joy: it needs to take a book vacation at her next nap. I’ve read it so many times the last two days my eye starts twitching when she picks it now. I KNOW repetition is good for them, but DEAR GOD can children find your very limits.

I promise you that it does not get better. Not for a long, long time.

I’m sorry.

I’m gonna put this one as another win in the no kids column. Luigi has never asked me to read him books over and over until my eyeballs bleed.

I’m really into my kids and I’m really into my dogs but all of them make me hate life sometimes. It’s just part of the deal.

I notice you said nothing about the cat…

Agreed. Frankly, LilPup has been much more of a challenge overall than Latte has, especially lately. But I think the biggest thing is just like… other living things make life rich, but they’re also the source of most conflict too. :woman_shrugging:

My husband sings the title of Moo Baa La La La like Lady Gaga in Bad Romance :slight_smile:

It helps a little bit…sometimes

That’s because most normal cats just lay nearish or maybe on you when they want.

They don’t climb on you and ask you questions and say “Look at this, look at this!” and throw toy cars at your head or stare at you like they want to cry when you won’t throw the ball, or lick your hand incessantly when you try to pet them.

Sometimes I just want to not be touched by other living things, and to not have to CARE about all the things they want me to pay attention to.
