Adults Only

Mum’s monthly appointment with her foot lady fell in the middle of our normal slot, so we both came to the same conclusion about that (cancellation). But I had a thought yesterday — why don’t Z and I both go over for a little bit at a slightly earlier time? So we did that, and it was nice. I was planning on coming over for a tiny bit whatever the case, but we don’t normally get to sit down without the kids. Like, even if the kids scarper off to other rooms and are mainly doing their own thing, there’s always the risk of intrusion breaking chains of thought.

Speaking of kids, I’m proud of Smalls this week. They were having a conflict with one of their besties, and trusted me to take it on and talk to friend-parents. I found out that the main person they were in conflict with felt like they were being bullied as well, so it was good to clear the air with his mum and have a better understanding of what was going on. As far as I can tell, Smalls has patched up with L, and also asked their female friends to be less arsey to him (L’s mum was concerned that Smalls had sicced them on L, though Smalls was a bit shocked and denied that). So like, yeah. I’m happy that my kid trusts me to tackle big things. I’m proud of them for both standing up for, and standing up to, friends; that’s a hard thing at any age, and just fucking brilliantly amazing in a kid their age. We’ll see if any of it sticks, but like, learning to be a human is hard, and Z and I are committed to being compassionate, gentle, and firm in helping and guiding.

But yeah… long week. Ready for a few days of doing ‘nothing’. And by ‘nothing’, I mean Z and I already have a few house-related tasks we’d like to do, with the intent of doing at least one tidy tip run in the week coming.
