We are doing our kindergarten preparations now as our oldest will be going in the fall. I have to say, the way school schedules work I have a tremendous amount of respect for single parents, I can’t imagine how hard that has to be to manage. Doing it with two parents who work isn’t easy either, but at least we have somewhat offsetting schedules.

Not looking forward to the 4th of July this year. Not that I ever do, really, but this year it feels even more like a gut punch with my country doing even more exceptionally evil stuff. I’ve talked to my kids in age appropriate ways about why I don’t celebrate or wear red white and blue on that day. I think they are starting to get it (my wife and I have our political disagreements, but we are united on our position that America is bad to the rest of the world, even if she isn’t exactly a Maoist Third Worldist or anything).

this sounds like a ruthkanda forever type post but my kid legit started singing Twinkle Twinkle in chinese unprompted.

This Father's Day all I wanna do is shoutout to all the dads in Gaza who will never be able to hug their kid ever again, and to the kids who will never be able to hug their dad ever again, because the Genocidal Entity murdered them.

Father's day down here isn't until September, but I hope all the fathers in specific parts of the northern hemisphere enjoy themselves.

It's interesting seeing kids project gender roles onto things. I gave my boy two hotwheels busses last night and the smaller one became mummy bus and the big one was daddy bus. They can't answer why one is the mummy bus and one is the daddy bus, but I'm interested in having that conversation with them when they're ready.

Happy father's day to those that celebrate!

This is my first one where the kid is old enough to really get it so i'm excited for them to awaken

Busy weekend. Kiddo's "graduation" from daycare, birthday parties, fathers day, and the usual weekend tasks. One day I'll no longer be tired.
