Is Celeste willing to come back to this community so I can provide marriage counseling for your guys in the soon to launch Julian's America III: The One With Sofia Coppolla advice column thread?

She scoffs at "losers" who waste their time on internet forums.
A simple “thank you, but no, Julian” would’ve sufficed.

Well my sugar addicted daughter who doesn't exercise (even in virtual PE class) and hasn't taken a shit in four days kept repeatedly dumping syrup on whatever she was eating for breakfast (she does this with whipped cream too.) And when i (gently, not condescendingly) questioned her need for so much syrup on her meal, her mother instantly started yelling at me that "there's no place for a father to call in question what his daughter is eating, that's the mother's job." And off it went from there. She started ragging on my daughter for eating too much candy, and I said "Well you're the who buys her all the candy." And that didn't go over too well.

The rebuff of affection actually took place several hours later. The objection was that she was in the middle of work, and I didn't knock/ask if I could come in.

Anyway, I've moved in. Had a great Bissell Brothers DIPA with Mexican takeout from dinner. Time to watch the Queen's Gambit finale.

So much to unpack here.

I’ve said this before but as someone relatively recently married compared to the baseline of this community (3 years this week) the tales from Space about his relationship keep me up at night.

Things are better this morning. And my kid took a shit. Two of them.

I just have to wonder if this is all made up...

I hope so.

It does seem scary real although I don’t monitor my kids’ shits...

I'd say it's creative license

I don't really 'track it' but it's is a good indicator of health and we should all be a little dialed into that

I never would have thought I'd end up with a kid with such poor eating habits. Sigh.

I think he/they/ze will be fine in the long run.

yeah, kids can put down crap, as long as they are active and hydrated, shouldn't be a problem into their 20's
it's the habits and relationship with food/cooking that can impact a child later in life

Yeah I'm not too concerned with the short run, it's the long run I'm more concerned about.

Sometimes, all you need is a headline

He had a low-resolution feed for his interview with Seth Meyers the other night.
