Maybe when I’m 92 I will Have successfully blocked every spam phone number.

My kid apologized for having threenager tantrums. 🥹

I’m not going to be the mom that says you’re catching a cold because you’re not wearing a sweatshirt… but put the dang sweatshirt on.

Definitely feeling this way these days.

Be sensible pocket friends and don’t come to trader Joes without eating breakfast.

More signs of old age my child just used the word “theoretically” in a sentence. I’m about to take a nap now.

There I said too. It’s always about the appetizers.

Curious who saw this as it was happening and what time of day they pulled this off.

Wow this is quite a menu

😎

“College is for learning, and living with a troubled roommate can teach a crucial lesson that will certainly apply to other relationships in the future: clear boundaries and deep compassion can live side by side.”

More signs of aging. I just photographed something with my phone only so I could zoom into it to see more detail.

Should be simple to understand yet it’s so hard to convince people that avoidance makes anxiety worse. 😞https://www.tc.columbia.edu/articles/2025/october/schools-are-accommodating-student-anxiety--and-making-it-worse/

Another sign I’m turning into my mother: wanting to fix everyone’s shirt collar when it’s popped up.

So how are we dealing with all this Italian brain rot stuff ?

Prices changing so fast even the store doesn’t know the price !

Tween children are often more logical than adults. I just had one say that anyone protecting an abuser, is an abuser themselves and I couldn’t agree more.

“By not getting kids a really strong educational foundation, we threaten their long-term health and well-being.” “It’s not entirely clear why chronic absenteeism has soared since 2020.” Well, it’s not one cause & I say this nonjudgmentally but parents do need more support than they have access to.

Switched over to winter ice cream for the time being. I was looking for something with peppermint pieces but this is the closest I’ve come to finding that.

Reluctantly waiting on a really long line. Kid in front of me sees a puzzle in impulse area, dad says you don’t like puzzles those are for smart kids. 😳

All these years Ive watched the Great British Baking show, I managed not to spoil the ending for myself. Messed up that record today thanks to nytimes. If you’re not finished watching this season- be forewarned.

So awful to read this.

I realize I could never be a flight attendant if I have a hard time handling a change in time of just one hour.

Overheard near supermarket sushi counter. “Not sure what to get, what if I get this one and microwave it” friends says “well you could, not saying you can’t.” It made my day to hear a friend out there be this supportive.

Still thinking about how my kid graduated to using a bag instead of a pumpkin this past Halloween 🥹.

Come on who’s buying this ?!

I never thought I would read this type of headline. This and so many others…

"I knew he cared about me and that he felt my pain. And that's really all that mattered." I’m so glad that one caring adult made a difference for this person.

Wow. This is important to read. My heart breaks for the child’s family and friends.

It’s so humid even snails are heading indoors

I was excited to tell someone about the idiocracy movie earlier this week. They hadn’t ever heard of it. I warned them that though it would be a funny experience, they might also need tissues.

Wish someone would’ve told me that I’d have to do weight training to prepare for work.

For todays sign that I’m definitely old- I asked kid to charge “the thing” - fully expecting that I would be understood without naming the actual object.

More signs I’m turning into my mom, during a supermarket visit I told my kid not to purchase something because “we can make that at home.” 🤦🏻‍♀️

Currently 78 °F. Fall is upon us but it’s indoor ac that is making me crave this but I can’t have it because I will absolutely be awake all night.

Here go again. I’m just playing to lose hahah

Guess they’re saying decaf still has caffeine. I feel so old to even read things like this.

I really don’t want to download the clock app but part of me is curious about where some adults are going for their expert knowledge on psychology matters. I ask myself what will I do when I hear that stuff. It’s just going to make me more annoyed.

What should I bake this weekend?

It’s almost banana muffin time!

Yes, I was that person who answered a series of texts with a phone call and I promise to do it again if I think it will clarify things faster.

Didn’t come here to face such an existential statement 😆

Timely !

I’ve been wearing my hair in a bun due to an awful haircut. A few nights ago my kid said I look like this woman. I couldn’t disagree.

This is great. Just remember to say something halloweeny

“A person who thinks they deserved to be injured as a child isn’t going to think they deserve much as an adult, either. This is no way to live. But it’s a misfiring of the thing that made it possible for you to survive at an earlier point in your life.”

So terrible and I mistakenly thought only boys were subway surfing.

It’s Oreo cheesecake bites time !

“All those things don’t have correlation with each other but keep using them if it works for you.” The stuff my kid says now 😆
