After a really bad week at work, I was happy about an unpgrade while going back home. Spent 15 minutes with a 9 month kid next to me who was with his grandfather. The kid loved me and made me smile 🙆

The kid's grandfather got upgraded and wanted to keep it as it has more space for the two of them. I switched so the kid's mom could also sit up front :)

I (36F) am married to another woman (34F) and we have a baby (5moF). We split all childcare, cleaning, meal prep, errands etc fairly evenly and it works well. Maybe she cooks more than I do bc she likes it, and I clean more bc I need to have a clean house. My friend (35F) recently took a business trip and literally put a binder together with instructions for her husband re: daycare drop off and pick up, what to feed the kids, when to take out the trash and so on.
