✏ Rules
- DO NOT DOXX YOUR KIDS - Seriously, use an alt for this comm or keep it vague; otherwise we’re centralizing info about everyone’s kids into a single place that can be easily focused on.
- No jokes about dead kids - I don't care how much the romanovs deserved it, or how right John Brown was, save it for another comm.
- No antinatalism struggle sessions

7 weeks of solo parenting starts today. We had fish sticks and watermelon for dinner just cause we can. My kid has adopted a dead butterfly, the whole walk home he said “mama, thank you for bringing the butterfly home” as I carried that, my kid, the dogs leash and a filled poop bag back home on our walk.
While it may be a bit more stressful doing it solo, I also suspect it will lead to some really great memories (like the one you shared)
Yeah, I agree. Also it has really pushed me to do more instead of less so far.
