That’s so sweet, I imagine she feels very supported by your words! It’s for sure a full time job, but to me personally it doesn’t feel like a job most of the time even though I’m super busy. I think it’s the “find a job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life” thing?😊

That is incredible!! I tried to give away a ton of scrap wood once and never had any takers, thank you for repurposing some. You really did make it look new!

That’s so cool, thank you very much!! 😁

I don’t think I ever would have come across this story if you hadn’t posted it, thank you.

I wish the article would give more details about what the tweets actually said!

People generally assume stay at home parents only choose that if their spouses make a lot of money, that they are bored or unsatisfied with their life, and that it’s a job that is very hard and not much fun.

Obviously I don’t speak for SAHPs and maybe these things do apply to some, but my life is freakin awesome! We choose to live very simply and frugally on a single below average income and it is completely worth it every single day for us.

I have so much control over my own schedule, I can’t get enough of spending time with my kid and have so much fun with them, I have more time for my own interests, self care or friendships when my spouse can take over at times after work, we get fun family time all together almost every day because we don’t have to spend all evening cooking and cleaning (plus our schedule is more flexible), and this is the only job where everything I do all day long directly benefits myself and my loved ones (beyond financial support).

There is genuinely nothing in the world I would trade for this. But man do I get tired of the negative comments from nearly everyone who finds out what I do.

Ohhh yeah sorry, I might have misinterpreted the point of your post! Obviously no one dies from watching a horror movie so my comment doesn’t apply 🤪

I thought I was the only person who felt that way! It makes me so angry when people with spouses and kids or even parents who love them do hyper dangerous sports. Like surely there has to be something more worth doing that doesn’t orphan your children??

(Obviously any sport has some risk as do things like driving, I’m referring to things like free diving or free climbing where there’s no way to have a real safety net)

Omg literally a shower thought

I know several people who feel this way!!

Man whatever the case it’s absolutely insane!

How does it survive with that many roots not in the ground??

First off, love this question!

Active listening and validating someone’s emotions. Relationship skills in general honestly! Like how to adress the core attachment need in a disagreement instead of just the surface issue.

This ocean once contained ghost fish??

Most of them! I’m struggling to understand peertube but maybe I’ll get it eventually. In the meantime I’m still on YouTube but I’ve fediversed all the others 🎉

Edna, Kitboga, is that you??

Joan Is Awful coming soon to a reality near you

Oh my stars… It doesn’t get much more horrible than that. Until you read they bombed refugee camps 😭

I would say this about the stock market

Kitboga all the way
