Yea it's a double edged sword. At this very moment, my wife is yelling at my daughter for not listening and generally being an inflexible control-freak, my daughter is yelling at my son for peeing on her floor (because he's escaped naked after his bath with no diaper), and the new rescue cat is cowering under a bed where he has been cowering all day because the kids have been absolute animals constantly. Moments from now, I will draw the ire of my wife for cowering in the sun room and posting this instead of helping the chaos that is currently unfolding.
I think chris rock might have said it best: "Married and bored, or single and lonely, ain't no happiness nowhere!"
That being said I feel extremely grateful for all of it, and don't regret for a second the life I chose. Like you said, you get pissed, then you laugh, then you move on.

Yikes.

Me: chest and face on ground, looking for cat under bed, feel something soaking into shirt
Me (to daughter): "Where did [son] pee?"
Daughter: "I don't know"
Me: "I heard you say he peed, where did he pee?"
"I…uh...don't remember..."
Me: "Did [son] pee right here?"
"….yes." -
LMAO I'm sorry. Yeah I don't know if I am man enough to deal with that. -
Parenthood teaches you pretty quickly how to be pragmatic about the disgusting things- liquid, solid, and every variation in between- that come out of children.

That's the truth, this doesn't even faze at this point. I'll spare the details but my son is at the apex of cute and gross, any cuter kid isn't a gross, any grosser kid isn't as cute. He's just started being a little sh*t, though. He's right at that mid to late 2 stage where you can't get him to do anything, punishments don't compute, but he's got the ability to make trouble. If the pandemic was starting now, instead of last year, only two of the three following things would have survived: my wife, my kids, my marriage.

It's probably why I am so messed up… but my mom used to give me the silent treatment when I did something wrong. It doesn't matter who, but it still drives me crazy. Whether it be my not-so-sweetie-anymore or the music thread here. When people dont respond I like mentally implode.

Yeah I need to not be so self-critical. But I was raised catholic so self-loathing and hardcore orthodox Catholicism go hand-in-hand

While we’re talking about beating ourselves up, nobody’s better at kicking my ass than me…

This goes for pets as well…

For the first 4-5 years they're basically the same thing.

Truer words, @Chris !
Nothing like being pissed on by a gleeful baby to show you your place in the order of things.

Ha! I figured out how to post a gif on here. You have to upload it to an external hosting site and enclose the URL in the img bb code.

I've been trying to do this since 2013 and now I feel my life is complete.
