My cooking style can be described as yelling out “why do humans have to eat???” and then making us an unnecessarily complex meal.

Brought my 7 year old PDA kid to a new church and sat with him during kids class. At one point he leaned over and whispered

“Not to be rude but all these kids are dumb” 🫣

(after we got home he admitted he was just nervous!)

Not my kids humming along to the svu theme song from the living room 😆

My house is clean and it’s freaking me out a little ngl

Did a double take when youngest asked me to grab his water for him. 😆

The chasm between a PDA kid and his water glass is parallel to that between God and man 🙏😌 #patholohicdemandavoidance

Burnout recovery is so weird.

One day I’m laying in bed feeling dispair and like nothing has improved

Two days later I’m walking around cleaning, planning, doing things like every day is a good day.

One of my favorite moments while giving a PDA presentation was while listing off potential outcomes for PDA people

“Struggling parents, institutionalized, prison, or entrepreneurs!”

“If a woman has access to 100 hair ties they will last her 100 days. If she has only a single hair tie it will last her unto her grave.” White woman proverb (probably) #funny

You might be PDA if you resent and reject a task simply because it’s “easy to do”

Me, silently scrolling, taking a 💩

*bathroom door flies open*

Oldest: You know when [brother] told me about Rain World I was skeptical. Like we were all just hanging and and he was like, ‘You guys should try this game!’ so [co-parent] looked it up for us and it looked AMAZING.

Me: 👁️ 👄 👁️ 🚽

Growing up my strengths were treated as an inconvenience (people-centered, too chatty, too distracted), and only parts of me were praised (reads well, speaks well) so I grew up feeling at war with myself. 1/4
