Me to my 10yo: the problem is folks think I’m candy. Gotta get back to the G I once was. My 10yo: mommy you used to be a savage? Me to my husband: tell your kid about me My husband: that woman is the most calming/peaceful person I’ve ever met. Big cap. Me:

One thing I’m teaching my kids early is this: I’m a person before I’m a parent. A lot of us grew up believing our parents didn’t get tired, overwhelmed, sad, or unsure. That lie cost us empathy. I’m not passing that down. My kids get to know the human behind the responsibility.

Your quarterly reminder that Andrew Garfield’s Spider Man is goated.

What does a lion call his barber? His mane man.

😂😭😂

He finna be inside alright

My kids in bed. Where the hoes at?

NEW JERSEY PEOPLE DONT HAVE ACCENTS! Media is lying to you

I’m going outside more in 2026.

Aunt Esther

There are some people that are exceptional conversationalists and I enjoy talking them. We occasionally get on the phone/message each other for hours. I discovered this brand of socializing recently and I enjoy it.

On my way.

J said when I’m pissed I sound like Carrie from King of Queens 😭😭😕

Lmao I say cawfee too.

In 2026, I plan on being a baddie for real. I’m putting down the baconeggcheeses and picking up the weights.

This. I have zero accent accept for “Dawda” for daughter. Other than that, not a one.

2026 is the year yall gon stop saying Jerseyans have accents. Thanks.

Just watched my son cut up a banana and put it on his sweet potato pie. I mean I thought I was a decent parent. Where did I go wrong, Lord?!

post that one photo of you from 2023.

A PEZ DISPENSER. NIGGA.

I’m suing him, the doctors and God.

Now this is how you do it.

I told J I wanted to revisit my hobby of coloring but I needed to get the supplies. The next day he walked in with a fancy adult coloring book and a case of coloring pencils and banana pudding. 🥹

Church kids all over the place are in shambles right now. Richard Smallwood was one of the best songwriters and composers ever.

Firm reminder: We live in community with children, not above them.

My 4yo daughter wore her pink faux fur coat and her pink sunglasses to get her flu shot. Me: why you wearing shades to the doctor? Her: so I can look pretty when I cry. This child of mine lord.

Not multiple people sending me that article about big butts and autism. Now why am I in it?

People don’t give kids grace and patience. Adults rush children’s learning, police their emotions and shut down their needs. Those same kids grow up without the skills to navigate through their emotions.

My 10yo: mommy something smells amazing. What are you cooking? Me: you’ll have to wait and see! His twin: that means mommy in there playing with food. 😂😭😂😭😭😂

Watching my children play with the toys that social media said kids don’t play with anymore.

Yup. And “unpopular opinion” followed by something that’s very popular.

Same. My best friend is childfree but she loves kids and it’s shows because she’s around them.

My best friends didn't need to ask what the kids would like for Christmas. My sisters asked and then didn't believe me bc "kids don't want that". None of them have kids, but some are in community and some 🤷🏽‍♀️

‘Do kids still…’ You wouldn’t have to poll the internet about what kids do if you were present in your community or, bare minimum, connected to the children within your family. Happy Sunday!

I had coquito for the first time two nights ago and I’m still drunk. NEVER AGAIN.

My 4yo daughter: Mommy I’m sorry I called you a dinosaur. Me: when did you call me that? Her: 4 days and 2 minutes ago Me: what I do to you? Her: nothing. You was just talking. Me:

Where did the lettuce go for a drink? The salad bar.

I’m up. Barely… but up. 😫

Supporting neurodivergent kids isn’t just about services, it’s about equity. Because Black autistic children are not met with the same compassion, patience, or resources.

Not feeling like myself lately and I don’t like it. ☹️

We demand gratitude from children, but forget they learn it from how we love them. When’s the last time you told a child: “I’m grateful you’re here with me” “I appreciate the way you try” Model gratitude by acknowledging and thanking them. Children deserve to feel valued, not just corrected.

People in Jersey: they declared a state of emergency. I hope you all are safe and off the roads.

Me when my husband was wrapping the kids presents and I helped by passing him a single piece of tape:

Smothered rabbit and grits is so good 😋😋😋

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! 😘

Anybody else’s autistic child roll up or down someone’s sleeves or adjust their pant leg? Mine does it all the time! They like feeling the texture, noticing how clothes sit, or even organizing their environment in ways that feel right to them. It’s just their way of interacting with the world.

Black folks across the diaspora are loud. Have you been at a gathering with black folks from the Deep South? You’d need earplugs. 😭 (I high key love the warmth of it)

Not every loud kid is ‘disruptive.’ A lot of children speak in high volume because it supports their sensory processing. Auditory self-modulation is developmental.
