        @Oaktavia my son is 14 and my daughter is 11. Parenting them now is a daily “challenge” for us…fun but different. I’m sure you know from your teaching experience with this age. Just a lot of changes.

          @Oaktavia Yeah, Little Miss H is excited, but I don't think she has any idea how much things are about to change. We're in the last month to 6 weeks until there are two of them. I'm going to have to step up and take charge of more of the morning routine and Little-Miss-related errands, especially at first, though I'm trying to convince her that she is ready for more independence when it comes to things like getting dressed, brushing teeth, etc. She's demonstrating a little bit of a regressive tendency - I suspect she's acting baby-ish as a way of subconsciously asserting that she wants things to stay the same.

          Mrs H is doing well. Feeling very front heavy and wishing it to be over now.

          And I agree, the little snuffly noises babies make when snoozing are the best.

          And if you think the poopy nappies are bad now, wait until you start to wean him. Once they get some real food in their systems and are doing real shits you'll wish you could get the milk-shits back. 💩 🤢 🤮

          Sounds like you guys are doing well though. Managed to get him in denim yet?

          Take the dive...

            @EdH that is sweet and nice to hear about your family. I have heard about the dreaded food poops. I guess I'll be ready (not).

                Q1… why was someone on my street giving out Ziploc bags of loose Swedish Fish last night ?

                Q2… why did my fucking 14 year old take one and eat it????

                Even my 12 year old knew this was sus.

                  Thoughts…

                  Loose Swedish Fish = excellent band name

                  On the flip side, my daughter won’t eat trick or treat candy because she thinks the entire thing is sus. (Editing to add…you can guess who in our house ends up eating all this candy)

                  Has to be a happy medium. Did your daughter experience any “effects”?

                      Maybe she sees how much dad likes to eat a single gummie candie?

                              I don’t really remember being 14…but parenting a 14 year old boy has reminded me that I must have been disgusting.

                                        I think I had most of the same intentions and instincts it’s just that I’ve honed them to a finer more precise edge over the years.
