Help, it’s that time of year again where the kid is home, I have a full-time job (but one I do mostly from home), only one set of grandparents who are too old to take her more than once a week for a couple of hours (and quite frankly also need our support), and I’m struggling to get anything done.

Plus, I don’t want her to sit glued to screens all day, so I’m either constantly encouraging her to do art or something creative, or I’m taking her out (during what should be my work hours ofc). Cue catching up on work until 1am and no sleep until 3am. Don’t even ask me what the house looks like or if my body needs exercise.

But I’m flexible because I’m self-employed. Of course I am. Blech…

Venting now, might delete later…

Ok i need to find a therapist asap and show them the "i could never go on a quest like that" scene and begged them to tell me how is it even possible that i cry every damn time i see even mention of it, my tears start to fall and i cant exactly put my fingers on what it's doing to me but it does something and i am sitting here with pathetic wet face just baffled by my own inexplicable emotional reaction

I just want a long fanfic, that’s not too long. It’s got to be slow burn but not terribly slow. A lot of tension without being too tense. I want a character to misunderstand a situation but no misunderstandings. I want there to be smut regularly but I don’t want it to be porny. I desire measured pacing but I want it to move quickly. I want in depth descriptions but I don’t want a lot of exposition. I want my fave character to be into dark shit but I want them to also be a sweetheart.

Honestly, I don’t think I’m asking for a lot.

I hate this. I’m legitimately jealous that my fics don’t garner as much attention as others (which are more well written, I’ll admit it). Then again, I know that I don’t write as often or have done as many as others. I also don’t do the Y/N sort of POV thing, I’ve never been able to even though I’ve tried. I’m probably just letting life issues get me down and this is how my brain has decided to be hard on me. This 100% is not a cry for pity, I just have no one else to tell. I’m just word vomiting, rambling, trying to drain all of this shit out of my head so that I can feel better. Maybe I need a nap.

Hot take, parents can love their children and still be bad parents. Maybe society shouldn't expect that everyone over a certain age automatically knows how to parent. People need to be ready to be parents, but a lot people aren't and just drop some kids into the world in their 20s without knowing shit and even if they unconditionally love their kids they can still fuck up big time
