PhilTFW there’s a giant palm stump where your pond is supposed to go.
ohanditdidntgoToday sucked. My toddler was upset when I left for work, which made my day even more shit than I'd expected.
However. Upon arriving home some ten hours later I was greeted by the largest scream of joy I'd ever heard, followed by the patter of tiny feet running from one side of the house to the other whilst simultaneously hearing 'Dadddddy hooome' and yeah, that was cool.
To quote Delia Smith....
Where Arhhhhhh You?.....fellow #UKParents. I refuse to believe I'm the only UK based parent on Mastodon.
Ten minutes after putting him down for a nap. I had the nerve to believe for just one tiny second.
I. Am. Going. To. Have. A. Good. Day.
Determined that today is going to be a good day. No crying. No breakdown. Just me, being a good dad and trying to enjoy the mayhem.
Here we go.
Both kids screaming because they didn't want Daddy to do their respective bedtimes this evening. Feels super great.
I didn't want a repeat of last weekend, so I came into this one with the best of intentions. We're gonna go out, we're gonna have fun, weather be damned.
It's 8am. I spent last night on the floor on my daughter's room. I'm absolutely gassed already.
My two year old has spent the first two hours of his day whining like you wouldn't believe.
My partner is going to work in an hour.
So yeah. Today's starting strong.
This morning has been quite the day.
Took lil'man out to the softplay with his cousins. Watching him bounce around like a ragdoll (whilst smiling his little face off) on the trampoline whilst his cousin and sister jumped up and down has made my week.
You ever put your toddler down and know that they're probably going to have a very rare bedtime shit? Tonight is one of those nights. Man's been farting like you wouldn't believe.
