A few nights before my first child was born, we let our dog out around 3am to pee (we thought; she was going crazy). She was promptly sprayed by a skunk, so @evanm and I washed her down with anti-stink shampoo on our driveway with me in my nightie and suuuuper preggo belly

Realtalk though @evanm did an incredible job solo parenting while I was away 💙

[Lex @lexr]

I say this with so much love, but nothing says “Mama was on a work trip” like realizing that the kids have been wearing diaper cream as sunscreen all week

[Lex @lexr]

@evanm “People we know” aka your wife and her mom 😜

[Lex @lexr]

I was previously disappointed that my daughter doesn't like chocolate, but this is such a fabulous asset because we can eat chocolate in front of her without sharing 😊

[Lex @lexr]

@evanm Fair, but as you know, I’m a nostalgic “look at Timehop daily and sob” kind of gal

An app like BeReal that just sends random occasional reminders to dads to take a pic of their partner with the kid(s) #proofofmom

I learned SO much more from this video than the hours-long "Witch Trials of JKR" podcast. 👏

@SadMacNoMore Digital…. Interesting

[Lex @lexr]

I had forgotten about these, but I think they formed about 70% of my sense of humor.  👏

[Lex @lexr]

Really amused that my 3 year old is bougie enough to insist we listen to Frozen 2 on the Sonos Sound Bar (the iPhone speaker just *won’t* cut it 🫣🙃)

[Lex @lexr]

@evanm @marinij Surprised that the comment section on this is pretty civil and mostly folks who are supportive of more density in downtown SR. 👏

Pet peeve: When a (almost always male) colleague reaches out via Slack asking to meet, putting the onus for setting up the event on me. WHY? Do you not know how to use Google Calendar or Zoom??

[Lex @lexr]

Zoom really does not want to blur out @evanm's shapely calves 😂

Currently living this reality - So tired, dealing with stressful job, using any "extra" moments during the day to pump.🧟‍♀️ Paid leave until you can sleep-train, please!!

[Bess Kalb @bessbell]

The most GENEROUS paid parental leave ends at 3 months. At 4 months old, human babies go through a developmental stage called "The 4 Month Sleep Regression," which means they are awake all night. America is built for primary caregivers to fail. Please read this screaming.

[Lex @lexr]

@alexstran Yes! Basically every municipality has their own horrible system

[Lex @lexr]

No one mentions that 50% of parenting in the summer involves hopelessly navigating shitty web UIs to hopefully sign up for swim lessons
