I already have you tagged with Stepping On Kids Fetish because of your post about tickling kids with your feet.

Yep. Instead of parenting they used to give their kids cigarettes and whiskey. Beat them whenever they wanted. Marry them off at 13, job well done. The good old days where we didn’t have to parent our kids.

I just let the kids mostly keep their old schedule until Monday morning, when everything smashes forward an hour and it is daycares problem most of the day. I, however, want to die yesterday and today.

None of the things you list are emasculating.

I’ve heard people on a fixed income will eat cat food if they fall behind on expenses and can’t afford human food.

My 18mo has come a long way in understanding what we’re saying recently, and even communicating back in his own way. My nephew just stayed over for a week and that kid doesn’t know his mouth can just be. Constant talking.
