✏ Rules
- DO NOT DOXX YOUR KIDS - Seriously, use an alt for this comm or keep it vague; otherwise we’re centralizing info about everyone’s kids into a single place that can be easily focused on.
- No jokes about dead kids - I don't care how much the romanovs deserved it, or how right John Brown was, save it for another comm.
- No antinatalism struggle sessions

Hello friends.
I feel bad for this weekend because on Saturday we promised the kid we would go to the zoo on Sunday and then he forgot about and also we did house work all day. I feel like he had two parents home but both of us were off doing things so we weren’t really “home” if that makes sense.
We found a bunch more mold behind one of the walls downstairs a few weeks ago and that is leading to days of work. I also purchased 4 more air filters and a dehumidifier. If anyone wants to complain about mold with me I can go on for days.
So while we were doing important work it still kinda feels like we robbed that kid of quality time.
Mold is the WORST. We had a similar issue before we had kids. Landlord really dragged their feet doing anything and we had a giant hole in the wall with a fan on 24/7 in our basement for like a whole year, basically until we moved out. Hopefully you’re able to get it sorted quicker than us.
Stuff happens though. It’s tough to get in quality kid time some weekends, especially when we only have so many days to not be working. Zoo’s not going anywhere, and I’m sure your kiddo will be just as excited to go another time. :)
