I keep thinking that anyone with an avatar as their profile picture must look exactly like that IRL - and after looking at the family photos thread, some of you really do! But from here on out, whether that's true or not, I'm always going to think that's what you look like. (less of a confession and more of just a rambling thought, but anyway...)
I "designed" mine to be what I want cartoon me to look like. So I can see that.
I judge parents who can't make time to volunteer at their child's school. DS's school asks that all families donate 3 hours of time each year to the school. It includes things like attending PTA meetings, Parent/Teacher conferences, volunteering in class, etc. It makes me so sad that they practically have to beg for people to go on field trips, help with PTA projects (like festivals and family nights). It's 3 hours and there are plenty of after work activities to help with.
There hours per year must be doable, it's boeing involved in your child's education.
I've spent basically all day lurking on parentings fffc... I need to shower before DH gets home but it's only almost 3 so I've got a good 2-3 more hours until he's home.

My FFFC is that I work for a different district than where DS goes. By the time it comes to things to volunteer for his school I'm over being in education- it can be so draining. It's my job and I have a hard time stepping back when it's another school- it's really hard for me not to compare and that isn't fair to his school and teachers. So it's really better for me to stay out. I am the box tops mom though!

Tonight I planned to get on the treadmill and run off some stress. After spending an hour fighting with DD to get her to bed, I am sitting here eating ice cream and my feelings instead. It's okay that I'm fat and my pants don't fit, right?
I am annoyed that now 'so-and-so gave love tits' is changed to 'so-and-so validate your feels'. I am all for validating feelings and I understand lovetitting some posts may be weird, but you'd still want to express solidarity so this might be more fitting in some contexts. Just don't like the lingo Seems to me that 'gave love tits' is a good compromise between 'likes/loves this' and 'validates your feels'. If someone IRL would tell me 'I validate your feels' I would want to punch them. *Ok, rant over*
The admins are messing settings. Parenting drinking thread has been trying to decide what everyone likes best. As of now they want to change it weekly. Honestly I don't really care what it says we all know their love tits
