Today my almost 3 year old asked my 8 month old how daycare was without any prompting 🥹

This is so cute

My wife and I have been trying really hard to raise empathetic children. I recently got laid off and have been more visibly distressed. Without knowing any context and totally unprovoked, Our 3 year old has come up to me on more than one occasion and told me it’s going to be okay, giving me a little pat on the knee or back. Which makes it infinitely more hard to not just break down in tears. Super cool.

The little pats 🥺 Hope you land somewhere soon!

My lil guy was about a year and change, when I woke up to him running towards my bed. I didn’t have my glasses on but I could see he had something in both his hands…

It was my glasses in one hand and my cell phone in the other. I love him :)

My now 8 year old is wrapping up his second season of MITES travel hockey. Lead his 8U travel team in scoring and assists 2 seasons in a row and is now going to play for Pittsburgh AAA 8U MITES hockey team and will be playing internationally while still being tops in his second grade class. He’s going to take a test to get into John’s Hopkins to take summer classes. In other words I’m proud and broke.

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit). He has mentioned a few times that he’s worried I’ll get bored of him when I know he can’t afford the same things I can. I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc
