I straight up cackled reading this. Also, not sure why I'm laughing, because it's 100% true in my house too.

As I was writing it I was wondering if it's maybe too mean; it makes me feel better knowing that I am not alone at about 8 PM each night.

I just got back home from school drop-off. I want to add a clever comment but all I can think of is “I feel this so hard.”

This so, so, soooooo good. Thankfully, I am in the 8am-3pm Relief/Forget kids exist sweet spot. Here's to another 24...to infinity, and beyond!

just waking up in the neutral zone so found this really funny like in a way where it happens to other people - not me and my brain pretends like this isn't exactly how ALL the days go because right now the house is quiet and everyone else is still asleep. I’ll keep living this neutral/hopeful fantasy for a few more minutes 😆

Back now in the “forgetting kids exist” midday zone w/ continued reporting on the uncanny accuracy of this mood schedule 👍

I hope you got some good work (or not!) done. It's 4 PM now, winter is coming.

Haha this is great. I love forget kids exist part. And the sudden nostalgic asleep-kids affection. Oh wait.. Those two are exactly when they are not screamor awake :/ 😅
