Parenting

@jerkules said in Parenting:

… But with 3 you’ve got a full-blown geopolitical landscape…

Can totally confirm @jerkules.
My three have the same age.
Can feel like you are parenting in a Matrix, where the French Revolution breaks out in the Colosseum of Rome and you must press and hold down two keys and press simultaneously another in double body length distance.

@Aetas I’m just lucky for the age difference between my 3. Triplets must be another level!

Wrestling is back in full swing again, this time the daughter is into it too. Almost every evening is either at the club or a school, weekends included. It's like you have to be a coach, dietician, therapist, dermatologist, and motivational speaker....which is I guess like parenting in itself, except it doesn't make it any easier explaining why your kid has a black eye. At least they sleep well, and they're super fit.

Post thanksgiving dinner hangs

Wife found the little guy a pair of rudy jude double fronts a while back (iykyk @Brock )

[Oaktavia]

@GraemeE those double fronts are so rad on the little dude!

[GraemeE]

@Oaktavia its always a crap shoot the first couple years when you find something cool for them to wear

The stars have to align for them to be the right size for it during the right seasonal weather

Buying school shoes 3 weeks out from the end of the school year annoys the hell out of me
Why do they pick the most inconvenient time to grow

Dad daughter (only 1 of them) weekend in LA\Burbank begins

That looks fun. I have a good time with my kids now that they’re older.

I failed to anticipate that having twins in separate kindergarten classes meanS 2x the amount of seasonal illness being brought home
.

@GraemeE Ouch…for years we used to ask our oldest if anyone was sick at school. Answer always was a no even though she and eventually us were sick most of the time.

One day when she came home sick, we asked the usual with the same answer as always. Then we asked if anyone was coughing, sneezing, etc…she answered yes.

Then we asked her what she thought sick meant…you know when someone vomits in class…

Hope you guys get well soon!!

Smallest E turns 2 today

This is the face of a guy who deleted an astonishing amount of ribeye during his birthday dinner but is still dedicated enough to go for dessert

[StarsSuck]

@GraemeE oh boy! This is when they start getting fun my friend! 2 through 12 is an awesome decade.

[GraemeE]

@StarsSuck he is our first and only boy so im guessing we are in for a lot of "firsts" over those years

[StarsSuck]

@GraemeE hah for sure. Some you plan for, some you can't.
