My kids actually listened to me on the first try today
I know this is small but it literally never happens. Told them bedtime was 8pm and they both got ready without argument and went to sleep on time. I'm not sure if I'm dreaming or what but I'm treating this as a major victory. This is what the good life feels like.
Man I'll take those victories wherever I can get them. My commute home is always wondering if today's the day they'll actually listen the first time.
