there should be a Ghostbusters tv show in the style/format of Cops

I'm ready to admit that I don't think "cellar door" is a pretty phrase

Yesterday someone asked me if I have a 3D printer and I had to admit I don't even own a computer

The Nightmare Before Christmas is about a midlife crisis

My personal Fleabag fan theory is that Boo didn't actually die, but their friendship ending felt like a death. This is why Claire is able to throw it in Fleabags face

Before you have kids, you intellectually understand they need to eat dinner every day. But you do not understand what this means. You can't. They need to eat dinner EVERY day

Business idea: coats that fit short people

"I'm on my way to the library," I said to a mom at school drop-off. "Good luck with THAT," she responded ominously. What do you mean? What do you MEANNNN

I'm in an ongoing "pregnancy during the pandemic" study and theyre doing regular follow-ups on how the 2020 babies are faring. Lots of questions about screentime which is interesting to me. I have doubts that parents answer those truthfully

Unpopular opinion: my opinions should be more popular

My 5yo approached me with a very serious expression. "Mummy," he said gravely, "we need to phone call the Ghostbusters"

I have a niche grievance against people who complain about being overwhelmed by a group chat. Mute it or leave it!

Chatting happily to my kids this morning. My 5yo looks up from his Cheerios and goes "every day you talk about different things"

A lil sanity saver for the holidays is to buy a whole bunch of scissors. I think many of us grew up in houses where there was ONE pair of scissors. This doesn't have to be the case! Scissors are shockingly cheap, go buy 10 pairs and keep them everywhere

"Eldest daughter" becoming a whole identity that constantly talks about how bossy and perfect they are is incredibly funny and on brand

Regular reminder that some kids are just more chaotic than others, nothing to do with parenting philosophy. My youngest is pretending the pom pom on his Santa hat is a wrecking ball.

Decluttering is a lot easier when you buy your kids things with the intention that you will eventually pass them forward

Trying to tell my children the story of Jesus birth and as usual getting stuck on the part where not one single person was willing to give up their room in the Inn for a 9mo pregnant 16yo

My most cradle Catholic die-hard opinion is that Advent calendars should be opened ONE DAY AT A TIME

When parents lamented that their kids dont listen, I always thought that meant about things like what major to choose or what social activities to try. But kids don't listen to ANYTHING. I just suggested my tween take a towel swimming and he was like nah should be fine

I really hate gift guides this time of year. Everything is affiliate links for garbage that will end up cluttering the thrift store by March

I hate making hair appointments. I don't know what I want! Just tell me what I want! I emailed the salon with a photo of my hair and said pls just tell me what to book. No response, they are probably all laughing at my hair

Doc says I have to get my stress levels down so now I'm up panicking about how to do this

People who don't enjoy small talk are just bad at it imo

I avoid Costco because I always overspend. Like oh good Sensodyne is on sale, I better buy a kayak

My husband and I just accidentally dressed the same to meet up with his extended family. "No one will notice," we said. They immediately noticed. They called us Mary-Kate and Ashley. They made us pose for several photos and laughed at us

INVENTOR OF THE LIBRARY: hey check this out

I was getting ready to meet some friends for lunch, went to use some mouthwash and inexplicably splashed the whole cup onto my face. I stood there for a sec like wait

I told my youngest he needs to calm down, he's too excited. "I'M THREE EXCITED!!" he screamed

Talking about the news over breakfast. "Sounds like New York is getting itself together finally," says my 10yo

Peoples whose kids were unaffected by the time change are simply living in a different world from me

One reason my smallest gets tons of screentime (gasp before school gasp) is because he wakes up 2-3 hours before his brother, and I need to keep him quiet 🤷‍♀️

I can't imagine having the energy to care when someone else puts their Christmas tree up. Do what you want!!!!!

Happy "feels like we're late" week to those who celebrate

I asked my 5yo to go wash his hands with soap and water, and he disappeared for a few moments and returned with both fists full of batteries????????????

My 5yo has announced his Christmas wish list: two thousand twenty-five money, and a jumpoline

Halloween is the best holiday because it's all about people giving neighbors and strangers treats for free and telling kids how awesome they are.

Rule in our house is: for every Halloween candy wrapper my kids leave around the house, I eat one of their Halloween candies. Works like a charm

I don’t think anyone is prepared for how many K-Pop Demon Hunters are coming to your houses tonight

My 5yo asked me for my phone number so I told him. And then he told me to ask him for his phone number and I did and it was 67 😑

Preliminary Halloween review: so far my favorite couples costume has been the people dressing up as Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau

Tomorrow I want to see all the pet costume photos you have. Wait, I worry what you heard was "I want to see a lot of pet costumes". What I said was I want to see ALL of the pet costume photos you have

A good reason to drag your kids on errands-about-town is when they get older and start roaming around with their friends, everyone who works at the gas station, the coffee shop, the grocery store etc etc will know them. Community!

Of all the conflicting parenting "shoulds", the idea that you should have a clean house and should minimize screentime is the one that makes me most deranged

My husband and I have two cars and we both use either or both. There's no rhyme or reason, there's no "his" car and "hers", it's just whatever car whenever. I have recently learned this is (apparently) really weird.

There's a trend online where young women are filming themselves trying to speak for 5 mins without using filler words. Thinking about this while I listen to Marc Marons conversation with Obama, two highly respected speakers, which is at least half filler words

I'm at 6 pieces for the year: two sweaters, a pair of jeans in a diff size, two t-shirts to replace worn out ones, and a pair of sweatpants since my old ones were threadbare. I haven't met my goal, but I still think 6 pieces is not bad

It's so embarrassing to be Canadian & support the No Kings rallies. Like yeah, No Kings! Ok well yes sure we do have that one king but he's mostly in storage. Definitely No MORE Kings unless culturally appropriate in other nations but starting now NO KINGS notwithstanding the aforementioned one king

My party trick is I can find four-leaf-clovers, and sometimes as a little prank I'd find one and give it to a baby or a tiny toddler at the park, and their parent would see and think their baby is a wee magical leprechaun savant
