@GreatLakesWife_ dang, the exact opposite of what my mom did, lol. she was a SAHM, realized there was no point in sending my big sis to kindergarten when she could homeschool us instead.
@summerboymom i think i got mine back after like 3 months, then had a weird gap and then went back to being super regular. i don't think i had any signs prior, and it was lighter for that first one back, but it was definitely "we're back in business and you'll be seeing me again soon" XD
@GreatLakesWife_ mine has been on vibrate for over a decade lol. though, lately i have had the ringtone on so i don't miss calls from the doctor's office about appointments and stuff. it feels SUPER weird when it rings....
Toddler: "daddy can we watch the video of the mommy airplane feeding the baby airplane"
*Puts on mid air refueling videos*
Toddler, amazed: "daddy they are so thirsty"
love that one of the points she's missing is his refusal to objectify her. her main source of self-worth (according to the world) is crippled and she needs to re-evaluate where she finds her value.
Other parents are like "I have guests remove their shoes at the door bc I have a crawling baby who licks the floor" meanwhile I also have a crawling baby who licks the floor but I encourage guests to leave their shoes on bc I feel it's good for the baby's immune system
@japan_nobunaga my in-laws host every year. my first year, i was their son's roommate's girlfriend's roommate XD the second year, i was their son's fiancee. the 3rd i was his wife, and 4th we missed due to our daughter arriving any minute and we couldn't travel XD she loves Thanksgiving too
Boots, Pants, Bean, Baby, Bubba, Sweetheart, Bonky, Precious, Tooty-Booty-Busy-Butt, and on one sleep deprived just-home-from-the-hospital occasion, "Speep" because my brain couldn't parse all the options XD
@japan_nobunaga one year my husband & his dad both got their tags filled and my husband texted they were on the way home. an odd amount of time passed, and when they finally arrived he explained they had hit a 3rd deer on their way home XD the owner of the adjacent field was there so he took it

@GreatLakesWife_ thankful you get some relief!!!!!!!!! when we have our new baby we'll be going through this WITH a 2yo and i think my husband might need ear plugs XD
@Fat_Electrician i'm trying to figure out what "Christians" are out there telling people they're not allowed to have a day of rest... it's biblical (Deuteronomy 16:14) that everyone in the area observed the holy celebrations.
@oliveegger my 19mo has finally started responding to "hands OUT" instead of just giving me a blank look, so it's progress XD it's still a compulsive action for her, though...
@faithmaycreate yep, pretty weak XD I do give them credit for being present, though! should be the default but I know that's not always the case. so blessed that mine demanded to be the catcher π₯°
To all my American brothers and sisters,
There are probably some mistakes in my English because itβs a long message.
Even so, I really wanted to celebrate this special day with all of you, so I made this video.
If you watch it, I hope youβll do so with kindness and understanding.
Thank you so much! πββοΈ
