Same, I get random times off and wanna hang with my kid, but I can’t because he’s in school. 😔

Bruh, my mom actively made sure I was home, but wouldn’t play with me. She and her subhuman husband at the time drank and smoked cigarettes in the house while listening to music and I was expected to play with my toys alone. The only time I got to hang out with my friends was during rigid playdates and before they got home. And that was only because they were absent.

But with my kid, she’ll play pretend endlessly. However, I won’t allow her to be alone with my son because of the subtle propaganda I remember as a kid. “you wouldnt want someone to make a living without doing anything for it, would you?” This is why Grammy isn’t allowed around my child by herself. I honestly wish she would die already so I don’t have to explain these complex things with him.
