Bared my soul a little bit in a youtube comment about being a stay-at-home mom and then two dudes reply to it and it hurt
Like I stated that the youtuber saying his partner is a sahm and it's the hardest job in the world brought literal tears to my eyes, how it's so lovely to hear these things esp from them, esp from men, because we are bombarded by the contrary
Then this dude comes in and actively disagrees with me, saying it’s important, but not the hardest, nowhere near it, (I never said it was, I said it was lovely to hear) and another dude comments on that dudes, agreeing and saying that I'm in such a fortunate position to be a full time mom while my partner brings in money
I want to comment back "Actually we're fucking poor as shit and it's cheaper to be one where we live than to pay for daycare"
I probably won't unless it escalates but jfc
Even if you fucking believe that why would you respond to my comment that's for the youtuber? Why would you care enough to hurt me, and yeah if you were to sit for one fucking moment you would see how it's hurtful and completely unnecessary to say anything in the first place
This has been my third comment on youtube trying to put my actual self out there into the communities I wish to be a part of and then immediately one of my fears of being known is actualized
Fuck those guys
I suppose they did prove my point though

Found a notebook my nephew left here, it's just random school notes but the handwriting and doodles fucking got me and then I'm just sobbing alone, worried someone will find me and then I realize I don't actually need to be alone, so I went to the living room all upset and P and O immediatly comforted me and gave me big hugs/kisses while I talked about why and it felt so good, it didn’t even ruin their moods!
I'm still sad, but I'm not lost in a spiral and I think I just taught something really important to my kid

Kiddo made a clever joke
I told them I had a surprise so O is looking in the car for it and finds a few random things most notably their magnifying glass. But nothing new.
O: Where is it?
Me: It's not a surprise you can see, it's something I'm going to tell you once you're buckled up
Kiddo looks at me through the magnifying glass
O: I'll see the surprise now cackles

Me: Wish the nickname I wanted stuck back in the day
P: Just introduce yourself that way now...
Me: But isn't that weird? To pick your own nn
P: No
Me: Huh. I guess you're right, people change their name all the time

Our kid learned about Jaws and then the three of us had a discussion about sharks, the movie, background stuff, what it is, and even the terrifying moment I had as a kid at universal studios on a certain ride...
Long story short our kid now puts on the jaws theme song, pretends a shark named bruce is attacking our boat, and after we take it down we try to eat it but we can't since it’s full of mechanical parts because bruce is a robot shark

I think a lot of issues people have in not being able to create or focus is that they are consuming too much, leaves little brain space for personal creativity and little time to do it at all

I've been so busy and mentally off that I was feeling like I was only doing the bare minimum/phoning it in for our kids birthday party
but then while using a sharpie to make cheetah spots on yellow cups, after ordering custom chocolate cheetah cake donuts, and before stamping cheetahs onto goodie bags with cool safari theme stuff inside them
I realized that my bare minimum is not equivalent to what others would consider the bare minimum or even close to phoning it in and it kinda blew my mind

Partner had Dio playing and O heard and is just like:
"There are not rainbows in the dark, he is wrong, they need light, turn it off, he doesn't know things"

A person I respect once described me to my partner as "steel wrapped in kindness" and everytime I remember that I feel amazing

My therapist had me write down ten of my values and I decided "fun" is one of them and it surprised my therapist because apparently"fun" as a value isn't common at all
Other people were also surprised and my brother didn't even realize you could pick fun as a value
