Every Curious George book: monkey does something negligent that he has explicitly been told not to do. Damage & chaos ensue. Problems are created for strangers. At the 11th hour monkey does some minor thing to mitigate a portion of the problems he caused. Monkey is lauded as hero
Does the expectation that you carry 💯 of the mental load of the household ever just strike you so sharply you look around like you’re expecting there to be cameras telling you that you’re being punked?
@bentleyliz2 Yeah my kid isn’t playing football bc I love his brain. Also this year is CHAOS for teachers and kids. Don’t put one who isn’t ready into that. Although I guess she doesn’t believe in COVID, so…
@bentleyliz2 the Bronx school thing is extra stupid bc this years kindergarten class is bloated with held back kids whose parents didn’t want to do remote kinder. Prob not as many on FL, but some kids will be 2 years older. Also impt for sports, esp boys, when older.
My almost 4 yo w/ anxiety has panic attack whenever faced with anything he can't do perfectly & as I'm trying to keep my patience my almost 10 month old is on a baby death quest, eating electrical cord/face down in the dog's dish/chewing on the toilet brush. LOVING homeschooling
I’m going to give away $30,000 to 1 random person who retweets this tweet AND follows Twitter Philanthropist @Pulte and Me!! (If you don’t follow us, we can’t DM you the money) Will show proof! Much love
3yo sent to bed b/c he HID A FORK somewhere in the house & won’t tell us where. He chose to go to bed an hour early rather then give up location of fork. We’ve torn the house apart & cannot find it but rest assured the second I turn my back on 8 month old it will be in his eye
3yo— “here mommy & daddy. Eat this. I made it for you.”
[takes pretend bite of microwaved strawberry syrup, milk, egg, frosting, salt, ETC.]
3yo [crying] “No! Not a pretend bite! A real bite!”
Us— “Why don’t you try it?”
3yo— “Oh no thank you. I don’t like it.”
Hey adults: if you get to an elevator around the same time as a child, give the kid a chance to push the button. Maybe even let him/her push your floor for you after youre in. You have no idea how much kids LOVE pushing elevator buttons or how hard they may melt down if thwarted
