I was feeling a bit antsy and there wasn’t a thread yet at 22 past midnight.

Have a great day everyone. May you and the animals of the DT who like sunbathing get some sun.

    Crook kid means day off. Sadly he is infectious but not actually “crook” so it’s gonna be a loooooooooooong as day solo parenting a hyper toddler

      I’ve had that the last few days. Now it’s my partner’s turn… Sings chorus to Free-fallin by Tom Petty like Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire

        Yeah when my wife got home I was pretty enthusiastic about handing him over. We had a great day, but it was a LOOONG day!

      I’ve got a 10yo home sick too. The good part is that he’s pretty easily entertained but because he’s sick he wants Mum’s attention every 15 minutes and Mum is trying to study and get this bloody assessment done.

        Fuck I would kill for a 10 year old cause you can just stick ‘em in front of a movie and buy yourself like 20 minutes to scratch yourself. Toddler can’t communicate his needs so I can’t tell if the sudden fussiness is feeling worse or actually just bored.

          Every age has its advantages and disadvantages! At least you have the potential for a daytime nap. Mine has stolen the TV to play roblox…

      I know that. A day off doesn’t feel like a rest because you spend all day doing parental labour instead
