I saw my dad yesterday for 4th of July and it wasn't awkward! Just very much the good old pretend this never happened approach to the whole situation. But then by the end of the night he had my mom crying from how stressed out he makes her so that's a whole other story!

And my grandma was on some Fox news bullshit all night. "The American flag is the most important flag in the whole world". 1. literally wrong 2. you're a Canadian immigrant 😭 why hast thou forsaken the maple leaf?? The only reason I don't say anything to my grandma when she gets like this is to try and keep my mom's sanity but man it's getting harder and harder.

I had to tell my dad about his Instagram reposts

girl breakfast: my toddlers unfinished dry Cheerios

I saw something stupid my dad reposted and thought to myself "lol I wonder if he even knows he reposted this".

Ladies..... I went to his account and his reposts were full of porn sprinkled with random news clips. My dad is older and not the most tech savvy so I sent him a "hey girly" text just to look at what he has reposted. He hasn't talked to me since but there are no longer any reposts on his account.

Anyways, I want to shrivel up and die. Top 10 most embarrassing and uncomfortable moments of my life.

Am I weird for not being sad my baby is turning one?

My sweet daughter is turning 1 this week. I love watching her grow up and learn and explore. She is so smart and silly and amazing. But every time I mention that she's about to turn 1, I get the same reaction of like "oh my gosh, have you cried yet?". And like... no? I'm so happy she's growing up into such a smiley, inquisitive girl. And who knows, maybe it'll actually hit me day of her birthday. But for right now, I'm really not feeling the emotional rollercoaster everyone tells me about.

I'm becoming a recluse

I quit my job winter of 2022 and do not have any in person friends. My only social interactions are with my family members, and more recently with my 11 month old daughter as a SAHM. I used to mask hard in public and now with my lack of social life any social interaction I have outside of my family circle has me cringing for a week after it happens.

In that same vein, I find it so hard to leave my apartment because I forgot how bright and loud and chaotic the general public is. Going to the store for groceries genuinely has me feeling like every single one of my nerves is fried.

I fear for when it's time for my daughter to start having playdates and I have to interact with other parents. What if they think I'm some antisocial weirdo and it affects my child's social life?
