after becoming a parent i subconsciously classified everyone i know into "trust to watch my kids," "trust only with direct supervision," and "you will never meet my children" fairly stressful when latter two groups include family but what can one do
"can i take your child out for ice cream" (well the truth is you have the maturity of a twelve year old and i do not trust you to drive with my daughter in your car) "why dont i meet you at the ice cream place, easier than switching car seats"
third category is like are you incapable of not being on drugs or not talking about sex in front of kids. or do you have an Agenda about how to raise kids that you feel obligated to impose on mine terrible signal! you should know not to do that! https://t.co/mgCtOaiQDT
@eigenrobot we are blessed to have extraordinary extended family with very few exceptions my kids were calling my aunt, who helped us so much babysitting them, "grandma aunt Taia" because me & oh called her aunt when talking to each other but grandma when talking to kids
