Thank you so much, @justineb.bsky.social !!!
Brilliantly done, @meganjstaylor.bsky.social I laughed - darkly, of course - and shivered. Not having children, perhaps I’m safe?
Another corker from @nightjarpress.bsky.social

#The16DaysOf @nightjarpress.bsky.social #Day16 #TheGrandchildren @meganjstaylor.bsky.social A wonderfully, terrifyingly bleak exposé of permissive parenting & the parasitism of offspring.

I don't think playing in a sandpit with my daughter, FLORA, will ever be the same again.
