My 2 year old just came up to me, with an extremely satisfied look on their face, chewing something... 2: I eat! What are you eating? 2: Chocolate! Where did you get chocolate? 2: There! Spiderweb!

I thought I'd try a new year's resolution for once: avoid refined sugar in January. So obviously when January 2nd rolled around my body decided to reject anything but pretzels and soft drinks for 5 days straight.

Bedtime conversation with my 4 year old in the complete dark. 4: where is Papa's spot? me: which spot do you mean? 4: Papa's spot. Where is it? me: I don't know what spot you're talking about. 4: Papa's spot. ... me: over there. 4: there? me: yep. 4: *satisfied noises*

Whenever it's quiet in the house we know the baby probably found paper tissues and is feasting on them. For my 3 year old this used to be bebe Zartcreme. I wonder if that tells us something about their personalities.

My 3yo randomly told my partner they love them. So I cheekily asked if they love anyone else. 3yo: Grandma! Me: And? 3yo: Grandpa! Me: And? 3yo: [the baby] Me: Anyone else? 3yo: No. 💀

Woken up at 4:24 by a random music mobile jumpscare, my cheek finally being released from the baby's grip of death at 5:24, just in time for everyone to be woken up again by the sound of running toddler feet in the hallway at 5:27. What a fun way to start the day!

Some fucked up things a healthcare professional said to me. "Everyone has shortcomings, you just have a few more." "That's how life works, you need to learn to live with it." "You're not [redacted slur], that's just your personality." "You seem okay to me. Keep taking these meds and you'll be fine."

Fucking wasps! All summer long we had wasps in our house. We even found them in our beds. Then they were finally gone once October rolled around. Since yesterday evening we had 2 live ones and 4 dead ones again! It's fucking November! Fucking wasps!

I backed a comic on Kickstarter. When the package arrived it was sealed with a sticker, claiming that "some items were not produced according to European labour laws". Only a single item was missing - a NSFW novel. CUSTOMS STOLE MY SMUT!!

For the first time we found acorns in the toddlers backpack and pebbles in their dungarees. It feels like they unlocked a new stage of childhood.

My Mum kept the hair from my very first haircut, which I always found extremely weird. Well I just cut my toddler's hair for the first time and I finally get it. What a wild and sentimental feeling.

I used to love the day the clocks move back. I could sleep in and still have a lot of the day left. Fast forward to being parent of a 2-year-old... At 5pm I thought to myself "dear god, how are there still more than 3 hours left of today"

SALTSEA CHRONICLES needs just 14 more Steam reviews to qualify for ‘very positive’ (they’re 100% positive, you just have to get above a certain number to be ‘very’) so if you have enjoyed the game and have the time to leave even a short review we’d love that 💙
