Parenting

[GraemeE]

We had an unexpected law enforcement visitor at our door this afternoon.
When the weather is decent one of the favorite activities of our 4 year olds is to spend as much time as possible sans clothing in our mostly secluded garden area digging in the dirt and doing various other feral activities.

The fed ex driver who dropped a package off decided this was worthy of calling the police

Thankfully the officer was a parent and well familiar with what kids do but still had to make a visit since a report was filed

When is it a no go when kids are being kids.. crazy that the guy came at your door..

[Matt]

He was just making sure it wasn’t a Jeffrey Dahmer situation.

When you catch a nasty stomach flu from your child and all her little rugrat mates at nursery, and accidentally hit the weight loss goal you’ve been struggling to get to for years.

[SKT]

@EdH one of the many perks of parenting. Hope you’re both over it and feeling good

[Brian]

Will say I don’t miss childcare all that much
Think it helped that ours was there for a bit during covid times so it lessened the illnesses
School has been just as bad though and now with the no pandemic attitude Australia has adopted it’s been a walking the tight rope situation

@EdH Haha, one of the many ‘joys’…

[EdH]

@SKT thanks. She had it for a morning - one bout of vomiting and 2 nasty nappies. I cleaned up the puke and 5 days later had diarrhoea for 4 days straight, a fever and a roiling stomach which completely killed my appetite for the whole stretch. But much better now.

[SKT]

@EdH those stomach bugs are nasty.

[Matt]

Glad you’re feeling better but I am a little jealous of your weight loss.

[EdH]

@Matt had a dream last night where I was a travelling weight loss coach in the style of a snake oil salesman from a western movie armed with a trunk full of parasites and infectious diseases. And I have a sneaking suspicion it was your comment that planted the seed.

[Matt]

That sounds pretty cool. Your welcome.

@Mizmazzle hey man, hope you are well! I’m going to be quiet around here for a few weeks, my second daughter was born yesterday ️ @AdamJ will check the schedule and holla

[Brian]

@AdamC Congrats

[DeeDee85]

@AdamC Congratulations mate! Best of luck if either or both of your daughters are anything like my 4 year old little girl

[AdamC]

@DeeDee85 hahaha I will certainly need it!

[AdamC]

Officially outnumbered! My second little girl born yesterday ️ was just getting the hang of one after 2 years and been dragged very quickly back down to earth. My wife was incredible, don’t know how they do it! Everyone healthy and my toddler taking it all in her stride - for now

@AdamC - Congrats that is great news. As the father of two daughters, you can look forward to not knowing what the hell is going on in your house most of the time.
