Is it possible to grieve for your children when they were smaller? I love my kids and seeing a 3 year old picture of my boy yesterday tipped me into a depressive state I can only describe as grief - for the time before they started school, the time we got to do things all day, for how reliant on me they were for everything, and just for being good at looking after them all that time. They obviously won't remember a lot of it like I do, and I realised yesterday that I really miss it, and them.

Hasn't gone today either, just stuck at work feeling more depressed than usual.

I'm getting all the hugs I can while it lasts, because it won't be too long before he will have as little to do with me as possible.

Yes, he will develop "taste".

Indeed.

Insert quote about how one day you will "Pick up your child and carry them for the last time and not know it", or "hold their hand for the last time crossing the street and not know it" ect.

Those kind of things haunt the heck out of me as a parent. Mine are 3 and nearly 1 and I'm trying my best to drink in every single moment of them being this young, because I know I'll terribly miss it when they are older and no longer need the same micro-level of parenting.

Worst migraine attack yet... I've run out of position to hold my head in in an attempt to ease the pounding, and my meds aren't doing anything... Like, nothing. At all. Someone shoot me or something.

Having to deal with a file at work I've been shying away from, namely because I was in that file when the call came from my brother in law that my stepdad was dying. It is setting off a lot of unresolved trauma, to be completely blunt.

Can it be picked up by someone else? Unresolved trauma (from experience) is no joke and you don't need to be facing it in your professional life if you don't have to.

Trying to explain to my frustrated 6 year old why the word "surely" still makes the sh sound without the H.


Its because the english language sucks sweetheart.

I bet your 6-year old was surly about it.

You said that last part with a Humphrey Bogart'esque ''shweethaht', yes?

My sweet little sugar sure was certainly salty.

This coffee is awful.
Like, not 'bad', not too acid or too burnt or whatever... it tastes like what i imagine coffee filtered through an incontinent hyena who ate a plague striken wildebeest who bathed in a zebra-shit and toxic waste tainted river tastes like.
I want to leave work, get in my car, drive back to the place where i bought it, walk in, take off a glove i was not otherwise wearing and slap the manager and challenge them to a duel to the death. It's that bad.
This coffee is not just messing my groove, it's messing my physical, psychological, and emotional health. I actively hate the universe after the last sip. I do not wish to continue to exist in a reality that permits this coffee to exist.
I want the UN to declare this coffee to be a humanitarian crisis. I want the US to illegally invade Canadian air space and carpet bomb everywhere this coffee has ever been. Fuckit, i'm ok with Russia or China if the US is too scared of the coffee.
This coffee is wrong on levels Nobel Laureate scientists do not acknowledge exist.
This coffee is the Venom symbiote if the symbiote came from a planet shaped like a giant planet-sized asshole.
This coffee is to coffee what everything awful ever is to everything else.
If zombies had digestive systems and could get diarrhea, and that diarrhea sat in the sun for a few days and became a diarrhea elemental that rose up and attacked people, and those people were lepers, and the elemental shat those leperous people out, and that shit was decanted down into its purest form, it would probably still taste better than this coffee.

And this is why you drink tea.

It's fairly difficult to mess up pouring boiling water onto a teabag.

[Abyss]

Oh go away you with your silly dead leaves and hot water.

[amphibian]

I am deeply and thoroughly sick. I also suspect one of my friends was an idiot and came to games night sick and this is where I got this cold from.

[Aptorian]

Is a cat staring very intensely at you or are you at the hospital for some reason?

Brit here. What you suggest is preposterous. It is absolutely possible to completely mess up tea and I'll thank you bit too spread such nonsense!

Can second this. So many variables

That's why I prefer chocolate drinks. With plenty of extra chocolate.

The darker the better.
