@annie_hartnett This is incredible.

[Meryl @TreeRockRiver]

@clhubes @made_in_cosmos Thank you for this.

[Meryl @TreeRockRiver]

@clhubes Or just a cute "I think we might have to try for another time. The poop's outside the diaper."

[Meryl @TreeRockRiver]

@clhubes @violindan Are there other podcasts like this I should know about?

[Meryl @TreeRockRiver]

@yrfriendamelia @clhubes "The 'uhh' song" - so accurate. He also calls it the "Sheryl" song, since I told him it was Sheryl Crow.

[Meryl @TreeRockRiver]

@clhubes I walk in a slow circle around my living room (we race the cars on the edges of pieces of furniture?) at least 40 times a day. And "Real Gone" from Cars has to be playing the entire time.

After changing my toddler's diaper in a plane bathroom this past week, I can honestly say that nothing at work is THAT stressful.

[Meryl @TreeRockRiver]

@clhubes We call this a "surfboard exit" in our family. Sometimes you just gotta. I hope my son never figures out the carseat buckles...

[Meryl @TreeRockRiver]

@buzzusborne Make this please.

[Meryl @TreeRockRiver]

@clhubes Whenever I feel this guilt (every week), I just try to remember that my mom plopped me in front of TV shows ALL the time. And I turned out fine. I think?

@dave__whiteside Be in charge of post-partum rules for guests. IMO, they should stay for 1 hour TOPS and bring food. You're the one who should usher that great aunt out the door. :)

@lycheefrut Humans are boring. I prefer aliens.

[Meryl @TreeRockRiver]

@CaseyStockstill @jesshardie @clhubes My son says "aw, biscuits!" when he's frustrated. If that's not a win, I don't know what is.

[Meryl @TreeRockRiver]

@clhubes Truly wild. I've never felt so ready to murder someone in my life.

[Meryl @TreeRockRiver]

@clhubes @defnot3owls Stroller walks straight up saved me. Love 'em.

[Meryl @TreeRockRiver]

@clhubes You'll also have to start feeding your 8 children homemade crackers and bone broths.

[Meryl @TreeRockRiver]

@clhubes [Googles kinetic sand and buys it immediately]

[Meryl @TreeRockRiver]

@clhubes @made_in_cosmos Ughhh. His teachers are definitely starting to give me looks. I like your rule. I gotta figure out some more tactics.

[Meryl @TreeRockRiver]

@clhubes @made_in_cosmos Same! And now the jackets... the fucking jackets. Is 30 degrees too cold to leave the house without one?

[Meryl @TreeRockRiver]

@clhubes Or when they turn into an actual surfboard in the carseat. Do you take out their knees? Honestly... asking for a friend.
