I hope it’s evident that I don’t really think girls (and kids who are neither/nor) are no trouble in public. When you are at the end of your rope you think the dumbest stuff like how alllll the childfree people in the world must be out drinking champagne from a fountain and dancing the night away right now.

I think a lot about a time when my oldest was 2 and we were at a museum together. He was grabbing trains from another kid at the train table and I was clucking at him to “share nicely”. The other mom, who had other three older kids running around and clearly was all out of fucks, looked and me and said “Don’t worry. My kids are assholes 95% of the time. It’s not a reflection on you.” I wanted to hug her.
