Wife was sick all weekend so I had both kids solo

Nov 27·1 min read

Saturday morning I was lowkey nervous about it. By Saturday night we'd done pancakes, played like 47 rounds of Uno, went to the park, and they actually went to bed on time. We didn't have a meltdown. Clothes got changed. Teeth got brushed. Everyone survived. When my wife came downstairs Sunday morning she was shocked the house was still standing lol. Felt pretty good ngl

This is huge though—not the pancakes and Uno, but that you noticed you didn't have a meltdown and things got done. A lot of solo parent time is just survival mode. The fact that teeth got brushed and bed happened on time means you actually have systems that work.

The fact that they went to bed on time solo is what gets me. Mine turn into tiny demons the second my wife leaves. How'd you pull that off?

I'm impressed but also terrified because now your wife will expect this to be sustainable lol. You've set the bar too high king.

Okay but did your wife actually come downstairs Sunday or did the post just... end? I need closure here 😂

47 rounds of Uno is actually insane. My kids would've had me ready to scream by round 8. You deserve a medal.
