From one hockey parent to another, next season add the practices to start 30 minutes prior to the actual time, not 10 minutes.
I'm generally a timely person, but DH had to get on my case about showing up an hour before for games and *at* least 30 minutes before practices. I learned quickly lol.
I don't know where we would even stand/sit if we showed up 30 minutes early for practice or games. Until the previous practice group has vacated the ice and started to leave, there's nowhere for us to go and nothing to do. We suit her up in everything but helmet and gloves before we get there. I'm curious what goes on in that hour you're hanging around before games?!
It does help that DD1 is a goalie so she needs more time to put on her equipment and stretch. But all team members need to be there an hour early before a game. I suspect it's because there are always parents showing up "late" but still with enough time to get dressed before the game.
We often just wait around, and there's almost always a game happening before hers so we'll sit and watch.

Ok that must happen when in the upper leagues and I recall that our older niece and nephew who play have to arrive early like that. Gooooood luck H hahahahaha! DD has only played goalie a couple of times and omg that equipment!
I hate having people over at my house. I have a list of like five people approved for drop in visits and two of them have passed away. The idea of having company at my house gives me so much anxiety. I would much rather meet up somewhere. I also don't like staying in someone else's house when I travel to visit someone. It's like introversion on an extreme level.
lol I once dated a guy who could go for 1 HOUR, that is not including foreplay, simply PIV action. He was very proud of this and I just wanted him to fucking finish.

atexan you are in good company with a lot of my friends. We haven't had sex in a couple of months but neither one of us seems to miss it that much right now.

My husband is notoriously forgetful and we frequently have arguments about things he's done or moved that he doesn't remember doing. The other day we had a huge blow up about him putting something somewhere I had specifically asked him not to.
The next day, I realized that it was not only possible, but also *extremely likely* that our toddler had moved the item to the forbidden spot. I will never tell him this because it weakens my position in future arguments where he is 100% at fault.

I like having people at my house (just generally, not to stay over), but really don't like staying at other people's overnight. We visited friends in Florida last summer for 4 nights. They were all about it, really wanted us to come, and it was...fine, but just awkward at times. Nowhere to escape. They also didn't eat regular meals (H and I are 3 square meals people lol) and we had no car, and I hated being at their mercy as to when I could eat a real meal (we probably ate a meal out once a day but otherwise it was just kind of random). I snacked a lot.
I guess my confession is I like my food routines lol.

I don’t know how to use liquid fabric softener. I’ve never used it and I won’t ever start, but it used to have to go in in the middle of the cycle I think? 16yo MBJ ain’t got time for that and here I am 50 years later and I’ve never used the stuff.

You’re better this way! I used to use it and then realized it makes towels less absorbent so I stopped using it altogether and I don’t miss it at all! One less thing to buy.
I have a confession for H…. When we met in college, I went todo laundry at his place and couldn’t find any detergent. He had fabric softener but that’s it. Yeah, he didn’t know it was not the same thing as detergent and had been washing his clothes in only fabric softener! 😂

I had a dream a few weeks ago where I told MIL off and I woke up feeling great. I just wish I can the courage to do it IRL. (Mostly it was about how she is horrible with her finances and blames all her problems on everyone else (nothing is ever her fault), if anyone was curious.)

I'm "helping" David with his book report/book character day project. HEAVILY. But he was so sick last week that we didn't get much done on it, and it's due tomorrow. He picked a book that's probably too advanced for his average reading skills, but the project part of it and his costume are already done. No turning back now.

I don’t even think I’m an introvert and my husband def isn’t but we are over hosting. Our house is small and now is really arranged for our hobbies and work and not entertaining. We used to host dinner parties all the time but now we meet out or go to people’s houses who like to host. Honestly, I think it’s better because now we are actually doing things with our friends like museums or events instead of just hanging around the house.
I really hate staying with people. It’s not relaxing and again, I feel like you end up defaulting to hanging around the house more than I want. In both scenarios I’d rather have concentrated fun and then relax and do nothing.
Sometimes after lunch I go and lay down in bed to answer emails, type up something or read for a little. A change of scenery. I think I’ve been doing it too much because now around 2 the dogs start herding me up the stairs. When it’s rainy out we’ve been falling asleep. Today I woke up an hour later 😢
I never had an orgasm until I met now H. It was literally life changing for me. We’ve always had sex +/- 5 days a week and the thought of not getting it on the regular is stressing me out.

I take a nap almost every day between 12-2p. It's not a two hour nap, but I do nap. My own little siesta. I'm going to hate it when I have to get a job after graduation.

We need to normalize the no guilt afternoon nap for adults. I feel so refreshed!

I’m a huge proponent of naps and I take them on weekends whenever possible! When my DD started refusing naps, I thought to myself that I wish someone would just shut me in a nice dark room in the middle of the day for 2 hours! Naps are wasted on toddlers….
I get so many ADHD and neurodivergent videos on TikTok, and it feels like everyone falls in these two categories nowadays.
Sometimes I feel like my own kid is kind of leaning in to the things she’s hearing about neurodivergency on TikTok
This is definitely a trend I’m noticing too in my students. I think it’s coming from a place where we are starting to realize that there is no such thing as neurotypical. I have high hopes that schools will start leaning into just do the things you’d do in an inclusion class with everyone because everyone will benefit.
"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”
DH keeps a list on our Amazon account that's named "Don't look in here Maude", but I do, I do look. It's gift ideas for me. I look and I try hard to telepathically send him messages to delete and not buy certain things and to keep and buy others.
You can have one account with two profiles that are completely separate. We have targeted ads turned off so we do not see what the other has been searching. This, of course, would not help him to NOT buy those special items he wants you to have
