That was our issue. He wanted to drive every car. He was staring at a VW van and said “ I want to drive that” and one of the workers came over and said “Do you want to go in?”
He got so shy and pouty and I was thinking, my god you just missed your shot little dude. You almost had everything you wanted.
Anyways, they had a car there that was just for kids to touch and climb around on. And a small area with toy cars.
I’ll stop talking about this place now, It just exceeded all expectations.
Yeah. And that she lost her mom. Chili always gets me crying with her backstory.
Thank you! I am trying to get out there even though a lot of these places are a little outside my comfort zone.
The car museum was incredible though and I would have never gone on my own. I’ll try to attach a photo
Had some hard parts this week where I was overwhelmed (with temper tantrums) but I handled it all pretty well. Some highlights are that we went on a mini train, to a new zoo, a car collection, and the kiddo had his birthday.
I am trying to let him do more on his own, but he wants to do everything!

Thank you for all the responses, I promise I am reading it all I just don’t have much to say back and I think if I did it would mostly be trauma dumping.
I will genuinely try the face yoga. Anyways, thank you. I hope you continue to be happier :)
Actually your first point is currently what I am worrying over. I went back and read through the whole thing but with me as a parent as the perspective and was trying to see if I am doing any of it as well.
I can’t stop reading and it’s midnight and I should stop reading. Lol. Feels like I opened a can of worms.
Oh, almost everything in that reddit post resonates with me over my experience with my mom.
That’s a lot to take in. Thanks for sharing. Oof
See even this is over my head. I have no idea what a tor network is. Maybe next year I will know more.
Not me. I am so out of the loop here. But I loved the social aspect of reddit and was on it long enough to know how great it was when it was young. Hoping to find that here.
Wow. I have never wanted to take my husband someplace, with no explanation beforehand, more.
Wow, how odd of them. Sorry we can’t teach your kid because your kid doesn’t know enough already… It’s not like this is college.
Ignore it.
Sometimes I am like egh, that’s annoying and more than I expected and then carry on with buying whatever it is. But that is a more recent thing, now that am being more frugal. For like a decade I would say I never acknowledged it or thought about it.
The fair came into town and it’s been so fun. We didn’t go on any rides but they had a lot of animals to look at. Cows are loud and I have a very cute photo of my kid with a cow looking very sad and covering his ears. I feel like I couldn’t have prepared him more. I have gone on and on about what sounds animals make for a whole year. But I guess you can’t prepare them for a real cow. Lol
Halfway done with solo parenting and my kids birthday is this week :) I got him a water table and my husband upstaged me by getting him a bounce house. He totally feels bad for missing his kids birthday, but he is so little we could just pretend any day is his birthday.
Hope that means it’s a great vacation then!
Disagree. She needs to behave herself. He needs to behave himself. I want to behave myself. They need to behave themselves. We need to behave ourselves. It needs to behave itself.
So yeah. Can be done.

It’s always so surprising. I heard somewhere that even glass bottles have a lot of microplastics in them because the paint from the top of the bottle tops gets into the drinks when they seal them. It’s crazy out there.
They have a plastic lining!?!? Crazy.
America Off Line :( Hope it ‘s not an omen.
