I love my kids, 5 and 7. I’d die for and do illegal things for them. But do you guys ever have those days where you just want to tell them to shut the f up? Like they talk non-stop all the time, and bicker and whine. Or maybe I’m just getting old and crotchety.

Of course. Wife too. It’s a part of love and life. I’m sure the feelings are vice versa sometimes.

I’m with you. After hearing the fourth “why?” in a row after I asked my 8yo not to answer the door yesterday, I just let out an “AHHHHHHH!!!!!” Tough move, but I put a weekend-long ban on “why?” in response to any requests my wife or I have for her.

It was our neighbor’s kid coming to collect for mowing our lawn. She knew it was him, and it was a day of me being the solo parent. The lesson from it wen to me: I should not try to do all house-work while being a good parent and trying to manage some weekend job-work. Too much—and so I lost my cool. It was a good reminder that I can only do so much, which I explained to my kid before a good hug and us resuming our Mother’s Day art project.

It’s crazy how much close friends influence you.
Would you stay friends with someone that consistently makes bad financial decisions. Or distance yourself for like-minded folk.
