And just because I wouldn’t entertain the cat food coming home with me doesn’t mean I’m going to squash any and all quirky parts of her personality. It just means I’m not going to buy cat food when I don’t need cat food. It goes no deeper. Yup. I liked the “no nonsense” parenting style mentioned earlier. I think that’s what I am. Maybe to a fault. Like I just laugh and say no. Yes. And if she thinks we’re going to fight about it I’ve got ear buds and a podcast library to listen to until she remembers how this works.

There is nobody in my family and close friends who are normal. Everyone is weird in their own way is one of our family sayings. If you think I'm saying my kids has to fit in and be perfect and not weird or quirky, you are way way out there on that. I'm speaking greek, you don't understand what it's like to have a kid or a family that is off the grid for normal, and you WORK at mitigating it so they can function in the world as it exists, not be perfect, not be normal, but to get by. I'd probably make more sense doing as my son and posting differential equations in here.
You would make more sense if you could grasp that your way is not the only way to do things. If you think I'm saying you HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING I SAY AND HOW I SAY IT, then you don't understand It is my opinion. I was taught that when you write something, you never have to say it is your opinion, because the act of writing it, by default, means it's your opinion. it doesn't mean it's law or the only way to think.

I used to ask for baby formula when I was younger (grade school). My mom would get it for me as a treat and I would drink it ice cold. I may have had some calcium deficiency or regressive tendencies now that I think about it. Except enfamil powder is sooo damn good. No ma'am.

Amy obviously hates children. She's a joy Nazi. This is the only possible conclusion. yes I am a funsucker I hate children they should never ever dress up as Frodo or a super hero. I want everyone to act exactly how I say they should and make their kids perfect round pegs even if the hole is square, because the hole should be round too. no deviation from the norm you have to fit in or else

I would occasionally get a taste of it w/ DD and it is wash-your-mouth-out gross.

I also feel some people don't know what mitigate mean.
A lot of posts aren't about dashing dreams but maybe showing the child what arenas feed dreams so they can flourish vs which ones don't.

So I shouldn’t tell you that I have since adulthood enjoyed an entire can by myself? No? I shouldn’t tel you that? Ok. So this neverrrrrr happened. I am guessing it's really sweet tasting? Is it like thick in consistency? I have so many questions.

I’m a weirder grown up than I was a child. But my family is whackadoodle, so maybe I was just trying to be the normal one.

Baby formula is like sweetened condensed milk but in powder form. It's not even in the same league as cat food.
