Sept 28th was national sons day. I found out when I saw a mom on LinkedIn post about her "daughters on this National Sons day". Kind of made me laugh that this was the only way I knew about it.

I guess she missed National daughters day a few day before. I guess Hallmark is losing money and had to create a few more holidays.

I love my SO but get unsure....they just went on a friends trip and came back and randomly said going on another one in two weeks. I said I wanted to spend time together so they came back next morning and said let's go away just us instead, which is awesome and I am happy BUT is it a red flag? They used to always be all about spending time together and now seems like I have to remind them to put us first in the past month. We both work hard and have kids so life is more complicated. Vent over.
