Suburban Dad in Minnesota. Bylines over the years for many newsrooms alive and dead. This feed has mostly nothing to do with that though. It’s dog photos and sports nonsense.

It’s always a tight rope walk of “I appreciate you, and I’m not a control freak (debatable), but you’re doing it wrong and please stop - you’re great, I love you.”

Costco has a nine-tube pack. I’m trying to ration them out slowly, but this feels like I’m just enabling the behavior at this point.
We had a necklace type joint at one point? That seemed promising, but no. No.

I am raising a child who has perpetually chapped lips. And perpetually loses lip balm. ChapStick. Blistex. Carmex. EOS. Burt’s Bees. We’re tired. So tired.
And dry season is just beginning.
