Wow. An absolutely hectic bedtime. Bubs teething again and is a CHOMPER! I got bitten while feeding several times and am reasonably upset and sore (this never happened with kiddo. She bit me once, I yelped, she looked horrified and that was that. This baby is a whole other beast)
Meanwhile, kiddo's dad had her up past bedtime playing video games (I'm just happy that he seems to have found something more age appropriate than plants Vs zombies) and she was just not settling, winding me up while I was trying to settle bubs.
I ended up taking him outside, so I could get a bit of space, and rock him to sleep in my arms, as the usual feed to sleep was not fucking working. Unshockingly, kiddo followed us out and when she asked if she could look at the stars, I didn't have enough fucks left to grump at her to stfu and go back to bed... So I said yes
And she gazed and gazed. I showed her the southern cross and Orion's belt and she was just, wowed. All her pent up energy turned to gentle awe. I got bubs to sleep and brought him in to bed. Thought kiddo's dad was out there with her, could hear her giggling away, but nope. She was just dancing in the starlight, being delighted.
Heartmelting and nourishing.
She was asleep within 2 mins of being back in bed, where she told me she'd dream of stars 
My eldest sang "Colors of the Wind" at her very MAGAT high school tonight for the talent show.
No one vetted her intro clip where she said she wanted to do it because it was excellent social commentary, and no one vetted her background that got projected up on stage.
As a parent, I'm both very proud of her, and very twitchy about how her Monday will go.
It’s been a week so just popped this in the oven before the kids get home from school (chocolate peanut butter brownies)

Uff.
Der Halbstarke hat hier gerade erstmal einen seelischen Tiefpunkt.
Nur drei Stunden schulplanmäßiger Besuch in der Gedenkstätte Sachsenhausen gestern haben ihn heute Nacht mit voller Wucht eingeholt.
Erstmal Familienknuddeln und Gespräche am unbenutzten Frühstückstisch...
Atmen.
This evening's episode of "What the hell did I just find in the clothes dryer?" is exquisite. #parenting
Daughter: I'm a purple skeleton.
Me: You do have some muscles and meat and stuff over it, though!
Daughter: Yes. And Makeup.
Thanks so much for the support so far this month!
We making slow progress on our March fundraising goal, can we break $500 before this weekend? We've got a couple bills (cell phone and credit card) due in the next few days.
So far y'all have really helped me survive capitalism while taking time to focus on our tiny human and look after my partner as they recover from childbirth.
$245 / $5000

Good morning and happy Thursday!
Mrs was out with MDMRNia until almost 10 pm last night as they went to see Wicked on Broadway and didn't get into town until then.
So, me and MDMRN Twin 1 ended up watching Sailor Moon R: The Movie last night.
It's free on YouTube with ads.
YOu can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhuD9E6mbow
Or using Invidious here: https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=WhuD9E6mbow
It was fun. She now wants to watch MORE Sailor Moon movies with me. I pointed out I own all the manga and she said, "Hmm, maybe."
Anyway, hope you have a great one.
Found out yesterday that my kid is texting on the reg with some random "kid" (supposedly) that she doesn't know in real life.
If this person is who he says he is, it's mostly harmless. He doesn't even live in the area. So I don't want to come down too hard and risk that it drives her into further underground/hidden comms.
But if he's NOT, I'm worried about sextortion or some other scam. If other parents have advice, I'm listening.
Parenting is cool when it’s all buying Duplo sets and organising ladybug themed birthday parties.
When they want to invite their girlfriend to sleep over… hold on… what does the parental contract say?!?!

In short, people are not settling down and becoming homeowners because they can't afford to.” #housing #shortage #poverty #inequality #economics #parenting
Just re-upped some previous Otaku Elf pics I posted. Including an attempt at recreating a cover in Animal Crossing.
It's a fun, chill series.
When I first got into it, I told my kids the name and they first thought I said "Taco Elf" and, honestly, I'd read that series if it were real.
Good morning and happy Wednesday!
I'm running a bit behind as I had to drop my wife and MDMRNia (13) at the school early. They are going to see a Broadway show with the middle school drama club. So, that'll be fun. Now I'm doing a little work at home until I have to run my youngest two to elementary school.
Hope you all have a great one!
Apparently ‘mogs’ has some new meaning which is something other than cats…

This morning my wife wasn't feeling great, and my 5y old decided to be nice and made her a PB & J sandwich.
She brought it up to our room and dropped it off. "Aw that was really sweet of you" her mom says and takes a big bite. As she bounds away down the hallway she announces, "sorry it took so long, I had to poop in the middle of making it!"
