Your frustration is absolutely 100000% justified. Your kid is a kid. Your wife should know better and stop enabling water damage to the house.

You’re running on fumes. This is absolutely not sustainable, and especially not if you have a heart condition that is serious enough that your 4yo knows what to do in case anything happens to you. Clearly he still cares about you if he was trying to help.

Make amends with your son. Talk to your wife. Someone else said it too, but you have got to be on the same page to survive this insane phase of raising tiny people.

    All the time. My mom never knocked. She went through my garbage, unfolding paper and gum wrappers and whatever else to be sure there were no hidden messages or notes or whatever the hell else she imagined.

    I do basically the same as you but probably more maple syrup 😂 Or I make it with chocolate milk...

    Sometimes I add freeze dried berries. They don't turn into brown gunk overnight.

    What really helps it feel filling is 1 tablespoon of chia seeds.

    Who came up with the tooth fairy anyways, this is ridiculous.

    My kid has been talking about it because some classmates have lost teeth recently. It got me thinking the whole thing is bonkers. We're supposed to sneak in and put money under their pillow? How TF do we do this without waking them up? And HOW MUCH? Has the tooth fairy kept up with inflation?

    My kids haven't lost any teeth yet. Looking for input and fun stories from parents with kids who have lost teeth!

    Title says it all. I've built up communities before but that w as s before I had any children. I'd love some help here. Something about how it takes a village comes to mind. 😂

    I want this to be a respectful place. If a child's health or safety is at risk, feel free to speak up. Respectfully.
