We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

Around 3 hours after I woke up, I realized I hadn't heard any farting, bed squeaking (from turning over), or snoring from the teenagers. Basically things were too quiet.
For a split second I thought, "Did they sneak out of the house last night?" and then I thought "Nah, they wouldn't do that" but I still found myself unable to let it go until I checked on them.
Felt a lot like checking to see if they were still breathing when they were babies/toddlers.
At what point do we quit worrying, bc I can't even enjoy peace and quiet.

Mines about to turn 6 but I'm almost certain the answer is never.

Never. Kyle doesn't even live here and I constantly text to check up on him.

I bought my daughter soccer cleats in the spring to wear for softball, thinking she could also wear them for soccer this fall. Nope. We really need to stop feeding this kid.

Well, it’s looking like my daughter might have a mild egg allergy. The past few times we’ve fed her eggs, she’s gotten some red blotchiness around her mouth. We took a photo the first time it happened, and our doctor said she thought it looked more like contact dermatitis…but it keeps happening even if we lather her face up with Vaseline, and today she also got a couple of hives on her arms, which seems like it’s indicative of a larger systemic issue.
I think we’ll have to go to an allergist. It does seem like the majority of kids outgrow this, but it’s a real bummer we’re going to have to manage it for maybe years, based on what I’m reading.
Oh no! Does it just happen with straight up eggs or also when egg is an ingredient?
Not sure. We haven't fed her anything with egg as an ingredient, yet, so it's all been a reaction to straight-up eggs. I think, based on what I'm reading, that's kind of the next step when trying to reintroduce (after we see the allergist) - give her stuff with egg super-baked into it, and then kind of slowly ladder up from there.
went for a bike ride in the neighborhood with the family. it's a quiet neighborhood and not a lot of traffic, but at one point the 5yo just takes off across the street without adequately looking both ways.
me/wife: "artie, you gotta look both ways before you cross the street. if a car was coming you could have gotten really hurt."

I recent went through my old harddrive and found the photos from when Kyle broke his nose/eye socket. He was around 9/10 when it happened. He was skateboarding and fucked up an Ollie style trick. Board flew into his face. He wasn't going to even tell me, the other kids in the neighborhood had to come get me. So you have fun with that snowman , cuz that type of attitude was Kyle's all the way.
Btw, his face was FUCKED. I was worried. I'm maybe post a photo later.
EDIT: Photos here, deleted the other post because it really belongs on this one. Day 1 - 4 in photos. The bruising is some A+ shit. Spoiler for graphic nature.

Listening to Midnights in the car with my 7-year-old on Friday: Kid: "Hey, she just said fuck." Me: "Yes, she's a grown-up, so she's allowed to say it. You're not allowed to say it." Kid: "Oh, OK."
Listening to Midnights in the car with my 7-year-old on Saturday: Kid: "Boy, she really likes saying the F-word."
Out of curiosity, how much (if at all) do y'all censor your listening when the kids are around? I mean, I try not to play anything overly explicit when the kids are around, but I don't think I want to become someone who only listens to Taylor Swift when the kids aren't around.
My 8 yo loves her and listens to her at bedtime most nights. I've got a decent playlist that we listen to but it's only got a song or two off of the last three albums of new material.
Even her videos have been touch and go for that age group. (Thinking of Anti Hero and Bejeweled. )
I try to use "clean" versions when they exist but I otherwise usually skip stuff with language/content that I don't want her using.
We're going through the MCU right now and there have been several discussions about things she can't say, like "America's ass." LOL. It's somehow easier to address in film than in songs, though.

So I curse like a sailor. I didn't allow cursing at each other, out of anger or in a mean, demeaning manner once Kyle was old enough to understand that "polite society" doesn't curse. So there was cursing in my house and cursing music. My youngest sister raised her kids pretty much the same way.

Same here. I don't allow them to use them to hurt people "F you" "You're a B" but other than that I don't worry about it. I don't really recall them ever using them in public and I curse all the time.
I definitely don’t actively not listen to music that use swear words. They’re gonna get it from somewhere so I just figure it’s better to have that conversation upfront before they hear it from a friend. I just explain that most are just words but people judge you on the words you use. It’s better to find another way to express disappointment or excitement.
I don’t curse in front of them (minus that 13 hour drive to Disney) but they have heard me from time to time. Really liking Viex’s take on this and it might be an option.

We just listen to anything with our kid around and don't make a big deal about words unless he repeats something (rarely happens). But he's 5, so maybe in 2 years he'll push his luck a little bit more lolll.

When Kyle was learning to talk and because I am a sailor, he learned the word fuck. He loved that word so much, we had to have the polite society talk at 2 or 3. Luckily, he got it out of his system before he started school. Think picking up a toy and just repeating fuck, over and over again. LOL That was pretty much when I decided that I wasn't going to put too much significance on curse words so I wouldn't just make him want to say it more. I just told him, you can say that at home in a non-mean way and not at anyone, but you can't say that outside the house because people think that word is not a nice word at all.
There is a chance that you won't even need to have that conversation. Every kid is so different when it comes to that type of thing. My brother doesn't curse or let people curse around his daughter. I personally think that is so weird. I get protecting, but they're just words and it isn't like most people don't use them casually IRL. Idk

My in laws are the NEVER CURSE type, even among adults. And of course when they're visiting that's when my kid loves to throw around the choicest of words because it gets such a reaction from them lolllll. I have to try sooooo hard not to laugh, but inside I am dying.
