Talking to friends with inept parents is crazy. No wonder they’re like this if their parents kept fumbling

[desinteresse]

“I’m having trouble adapting to my adult responsibilities” well no wonder, nobody raised you 😭😭😭

[desinteresse]

Hot tip for future parents: you actually have to guide your kid to adulthood. Feeding them and waiting for them to grow up is not enough since they are not house plants. A little more thought and care is required.

The majority of Icelandic parents if I'm being honest.

Everyone thinks the reason Iceland has such high rates of depression and other mental health problems is because the winters here are so long and dark. No, we have vitamin d supplements and light therapy lamps for that.

It's because the average Icelandic parent dedicates about as much time and responsibility to their children as they would an outdoor cat.

My mother was an early childhood development specialist (0-4 years) and speech pathologist in the 80s-90s and the number of times she went into a home to assess a child with "severe developmental delays" to find a spotless home and a clean, well-nourished infant or toddler sitting or lying mutely in a playpen with no toys and a caregiving parent who interacted with them only to maintain that state was non-trivial. It was a problem with no links to class or even to parental feelings for the child. Her colleagues who worked with older children for delayed development and emotional dysregulation had similar experiences.

You have to include children in all the functions of life, from birth, for them to successfully attain adulthood. I used to jokingly say "I'm not a 'parent', I'm an 'adulthood achievement facilitator'" and other parents would often, and so clearly, have a happy little lightbulb emoji over the head moment.

Ya know what I should kidnap a princess it's been awhile since I've done something fun for myself

[john-boneman-lich-lord]

Okay so it's been a few months since I kidnapped the princess and uh. No one has come to try to rescue her yet. Like at all. I sent a spy to the kingdom and they just don't care. Like they know she's gone and they're not bothering. She's been crying for a few days straight now. Idk what I'm supposed to do here.

[john-boneman-lich-lord]

An update on the princess. She kinda broke and was very... hollow for a bit there. It took some time to get her interested in learning magic but she eventually came around to it. I'm trying to goad her into reaping bloody vengeance on the family that abandoned her but she's just been really focused on her studies. Maybe once she's more capable, she is still a beginner after all.

[john-boneman-lich-lord]

It's been a couple of months and the princess' progess on her magical studies is absolutely *stellar* I swear this kid is a generational prodigy she's already bent a Cambion to her will and is casting higher level necromancy and evocation spells. She's such a good apprentice. Is this what it's like to be a proud dad? I'm buying her a gift. Teenage girls enjoy tomes full of dark rituals and such, yeah?

I wanted someone to play it as soon as I saw it and they delivered

You gotta be really publicly passionate about things if you want your friends to text you. Bc people will forget to text you because they’re human. But if you’re really openly the friend who loves identifying ants your friends will think of you when they see ants. And they’ll text you “what ant is this [blurry photo]”. And then they’ll ask you how you’ve been and we should get coffee sometime. But if they don’t know what you love they’ll never know what you like

[theswisscheeserag]

And then when the ant convention is in town they’ll be like dude… we should go to the ant convention. But they would never think to go if they didn’t know u loved ants

[theswisscheeserag]

And sometimes you need to ask them to go to the ant convention. But you Will not get anywhere hiding your passions
