Im the kind of (not a)Mom to put the kid down and spend 10(/affectionate) minutes trying to get a song/lullaby that she wants from her while she is trying to talk about miraculous ladybug (I know nothing on the subject) and We eventually settle on me singing my favorite childhood lullaby while she intersects each line with a ladybug or cat noir fact or quote. I kissed her goodnight and said "alright now you can talk about ladybug all you want, but make sure you sleep" she said "Yes SIR!" and now, yes I am sitting downstairs listening to her giggling to herself about supervillians and ladybug,, thinking im the luckiest (not a)Mom ever.

#ohp its me again #gender #anyway #like #i. hate being a not-mom that never got the chance to say no i dont want that #but i. love being the kind of parent the kid can feel safe and comfortable to be herself with #i like the idea that she is able to lay in bed and think 'if i need to use the bathroom or get water i can just do that'#bc She Can Just Do That #Thats Natural Bedtime Stuff #anyway. talk about fixing childhood scars and helping the next generation and also giving myself new cuts and wounds 🤘#im dying im living im dying im living #(also im aware (not a)mom sounds like an imposter Stranger beast but. everyone whos read this far knows its the only way.)#(im a mom im not a mom ive never been a mom i have an eight year old im not a mom i am a single mother i am not)
