Mother Apocalypse

44 yo suburban female parenting through cancer, COVID, East Coast snobbery, and other apocalyptic scenarios.

Had chemo #3 on Monday, followed by a quiet week at home with three kids home from school, a crazy lab, my loud-as-hell husband, and the greyest New England weather ever. Crawling into an abandoned mineshaft for a week would have been more restful… #chemofun

"Retreating into myself, away from my kids, feels like an unlearning of everything I have been taught as a mother, or have imparted to others, but I cannot see another way to survive," @mirandafeathers writes: https://t.co/y45VJw7iY3

@TheAtlantic @mirandafeathers For what it is worth Ms. Featherstone, I am standing on the river bank willing you through this hellish journey. I walked this same path two years ago, with three young kids at home. Just hang on my friend, you will get to the other side.

@michimama75 She has a bright future ahead of her. Truly! Won’t take shit from anyone (once she’s 20).

It’s a short drive to 5’s school but she always asks me life’s most important questions.

Today she asked, “when I’m 20, can I say ‘friggin asshole’?”

I had enough of telling my kids to put their shoes on 487543 times before school so I set an alarm on Alexa to remind them every minute for 20 minutes and now Alexa’s drinking wine straight from the bottle sobbing about how she used to be something

@Cynical_Parent Holy. Sweet.Jesus that took balls.

[Mother Apocalypse @Mommaapocalypse]

@DomesticGoddss @RodLacroix Or crocs. Mine wear crocs through the snow. Little geniuses.

@fullofmonsense Maybe expand that age range from 6 - …25?

[Mother Apocalypse @Mommaapocalypse]

@dadmann_walking I just want to know at what age I can stop preparing and serving dinner. Lunch and breakfast have already fallen by the wayside

[Mother Apocalypse @Mommaapocalypse]

@RodLacroix Okay so I’m not the only one.

[Mother Apocalypse @Mommaapocalypse]

@Chhapiness It went by so…..fast.

[Mother Apocalypse @Mommaapocalypse]

@mom_tho Happy birthday! May this year be full of wit, snark, and good-old-fashioned humor!

[Mother Apocalypse @Mommaapocalypse]

@CynicalTherapi1 Chez moi, dirt road cred was the only kind that mattered.

[Mother Apocalypse @Mommaapocalypse]

@mkhammer But stop, stop hurting children in the name of COVID safety. Have you seen what self-harm looks like in an adolescent girl? Because I have. Again and again. Suicidality in a tween? I have. Again and again. The child psych units were overflowing during the worst of lockdown

[Mother Apocalypse @Mommaapocalypse]

@mkhammer And there are solutions - strained hospital capacity will be with us for awhile. We need to expand capacity, as COVID will be with us for awhile. Graduate more nurses, more healthcare professionals - clearly we need them.

being motivated is out, read the room. 2022 is about being a lazy piece of shit

[Simon Holland @simoncholland]

It may snow in Atlanta so I just bought 47 loaves of bread and now I’m headed out to the interstate so I can get stranded in a good spot.

[Mother Apocalypse @Mommaapocalypse]

@visionbored2 Totally justified given the circumstances. Fellow mom of three here. Hang in there
