Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Groceries? Normally, yes but not for the specialty items I need. Plus I need alcohol. I'll probably put off the shopping until Thursday when my inlaws are here or Friday when ltc is back at camp. At least I have a plan.

ltc was perfect at camp today. Apparently she always listens and gets changed for swim with no problems.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's what you want, right? I mean, assuming a child can't be perfect 100% of the time, better to have them behave for the people you're paying? t /not a parent

Yes. It's just funny. Who is this kid they're describing?

I do think this is a classic dynamic, for whatever reason.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yeah, that's something I have heard from my mother about us, for sure.

Hey. New board.
That is my oldest too. Always perfect at school / camp but pretty troublesome at home. Though this year he lost the school mojo about halfway through and started to be a bit more naughty there (not bad just not perfect little angel anymore) which is weirdly reassuring.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
sj,
Mr.S behaves much better at school/daycare than at home. (There been a number of days where I show up to pick him up, the teacher tells me how good he's been...and he runs out the door away from me.)

Yeah, that sounds right, Sheryl. I took her out to eat tonight after karate because TCG has a meeting and I didn't feel like cooking.
