Confession: I rarely text using abbreviations. I prefer folk spell words out. Every time I get a text (in Spanish) that says BD… my mind reads it as “baby daddy”. That is NEVER what they mean. A million percent of the time. But that’s what I see. A trillion percent of the time 🤷🏾‍♀️

Now that it’s officially autumn, I was gonna go through my dresses to see what’s donated and what continues to next summer. Then I saw we’re forecast to be around 36°C through the weekend and… it might be too premature to store summer clothes

Out running errands and I noticed none of the bus drivers were accepting cash nor did they have any money on them. Today is #WorldCarFreeDay. All the urban (city) buses are completely free!! (For those with money loaded bus passes, no fare is deducted today)

Working on the family budget with #TheAdolescent. He’s learning to consider money in real terms. He figured out what(some of) *his* expenses are and said “that’s a big number”. I told him kids/adolscents are expensive The following ensued Him: that’s not my problem because it’s not my wallet…

#TheAdolescent to his daddy: yes, I went to kickboxing and then I came straight home #TheAdolescent to me: a 10 minute recitation of everything from his exit to his return, including demonstrations of the exercises and people he saw (We live 3 blocks from his kickboxing. I wanna be a dad!)

At bedtime, #TheAdolescent asked if I’d be getting up + getting ready with him in the morning for his first full day of ESO (secondary school). I told him that his dad would be here. He asked “what that gotta do with you?” So, I’ll be up (Who gone tell him I’m *NOT* the mama?!?)

#TheAdolescent claimed tomorrow as one of his weekly cooking days (he’s learning) I told him my food requests. Why this boy tell me he already got a fixed menu in mind? Also, why do he got expensive taste? This my fault for introducing him to nice things. Lemme return him to his daddy!!

#TheAdolescent *woke up* blasting Central Cee. He tried to play that in the living room whilst working on our puzzles. I asked for something less vulgar without profanity Why this child say 🗣️Alexa, play KidsBop?!? (I’m tired of being bullied in my own house)

Today #TheAdolescent learned that “Annie” ain’t always been Black. He wanted me to watch a movie with him (I’m NOT a movie person). I requested a musical 🎶 and he knows I’ll sit through “Annie” nicely. I pulled up the original Annie (just to mess with him) This boy talmbout “Stop playing…

I was ready to lose my cool with #TheAdolescent. While he went out with friends, I let his dad know what was going on. When the #BoyChild got home and saw his daddy? Loved it for me! I lead the chat then his dad followed up with support. He even threw in some extra razzle dazzle.

#TheAdolescent asked for extra sweets after being advised of his serving size options. I asked what he was willing to do for his extra sweets (an extra fruit/vege serving; no juice today; 2 more cups of water; etc) Why this boy look at my #GirlCousin and say „this is extortion”????

testament3 @testament3.blacksky.app · 19/08/2026
#GirlCousin helped herself to some peanuts and used a paper towel. #TheAdolescence swooped in [unprompted] right behind her with a ramekin and said “we use these here” Now she tryna explain the socioeconomic situation she grew up in (I’ve created a monster. He right doe!)

The Adolescent™ told me I’m too old to sing his songs from his lil movies (I’ve been bopping to Zombies). I told him he too young to sing Michael and Whitney (both passed before he was born) Now we just ate lunch in silence because he wanna be funny 😘

Took the #Adolescent school clothes shopping. He wasn’t sure if his size so he said he’d get the kids sizes corresponding to his age. The way he was disappointed that he still *COMFORTABLY* fits in the 9-10 year old clothes (He’s 12,5 years old)

We’re back from our trip and #BoyChild was talking to his dad. The way he telling him about life at my house… I know somebody got a spare baby (or sugar) daddy lurking about. Help ya girl out! I’m not God’s strongest soldier!!

testament3 @testament3.blacksky.app · 05/08/2026
I need someone to explain baby daddies to me. I know I ain’t got kids, but I’m pretty sure I need a baby daddy. Boy Child only acknowledges being called ADOLESCENT and… I’m exhausted. I need someone to share custody- and expense- while he’s in my care Where can I go down + select a quality one?

Update re: continuing my LSE (sign language) classes. Got put in a group chat -they clearly HATE me. Folks were leaving *VOICE* notes in the chat. For a *SIGN LANGUAGE* class I hit up my classmate who works at the Association for the Deaf. Told her the group chat was my definition of Hell…

Didn’t expect to be parenting again in my 40’s. Thought that chapter was over when a certain relationship ended YEARS AGO. It’s even harder this go round (I feel both more prepared *and* less). I’m truly grateful that the Boy Child wanted me to be his safe space after all these years. We’ll make it

I love my landlord. He text to see when I’m at his house this month (he already said he would be vacationing “somewhere”). I responded and this man said, ok… I’ll be in Türkiye 🇹🇷 but enjoy!! Sir, how you just gone book a last minute trip to Türkiye? We truly just be doing any old thing!

Had the #BoyChild plan our trip. He looked up things that interest him and places to eat. He had to write everything down with pen + paper I'm reviewing his list and… this boy got the *wrong* impression about how deep my pockets run. He must be confusing it with my love for him

My heart is full! Boy Child thinks I’m still the best. High praise from a 12,5 year old. We had a great day filled with (tablet free) activities and he wants to repeat tomorrow. I’m glad he liked the board game because it got him chatting. Plus, he’s been a wonderful sous chef

Kids lie for fun I agreed to take Boy Child to the (Christopher Columbus) fair tonight. It’s our city’s big annual fair because he got lost leaving here. I said we can go when it opens Him: you young! we can go later. don’t be a lame Me: beloved, I’m middle aged. I ain’t young!!

One of my Girlies finally cussed in front of me. I was completely unfazed. She was afraid of being disrespectful. Me: you’re a ✨siesta✨ away from 30. You good, Baby Girl Now she doing maths *and* Spanish because she don’t see it yet (she’ll be 27 this year)

Caring for kids is a racket! A scam! A perpetual trick bag! Last night he went to bed with a trip to Switzerland 🇨🇭 agreed to. How this boy wake up to a beach trip planned too?!? I shoulda been born a 12 year old boy!! I gotta go raise my budget AGAIN

IDK how y'all do it. Kids are expensive! Offered to take my fave on a lil getaway before he starts secondary school. First, the kid said a town close by. I told him he could dream bigger. Then he chose Disneyland (Paris) but … French wildfires. I just called to say goodnight
