✏ Rules
- DO NOT DOXX YOUR KIDS - Seriously, use an alt for this comm or keep it vague; otherwise we’re centralizing info about everyone’s kids into a single place that can be easily focused on.
- No jokes about dead kids - I don't care how much the romanovs deserved it, or how right John Brown was, save it for another comm.
- No antinatalism struggle sessions

I fucking hate all the stupid plastic presents people buy and the ritual of opening them
Agree. The latest one was this cheap water table from amazon, it was like two feet tall and had like literally 50 little pieces. It is already broken and pieces lost. And I hate it. I hate the waste. I hate that it lasted like 10 days. I hate that I had to put it together. I hate that I had to recycle the box. I hate that I have to dry out the pieces. I hate that it was a waste of money. I hate that I have to send a photo of him playing with it all together and keep it around in case they come visit.
I should be super grateful and just happy but like just ask me what he wants and we can do one big gift. Egh.
