Ha! The “I’ll allow it” meme — bastion of transitional season parenting everywhere.

Yep! He is. I'm used to it by now, though, and find it endearing!

Thanks for the mention, Tsh! So passionate about this topic, which I've only really realized by writing about it!

Love the thoughts on homemaking - the thing that annoyed me most about the speech everyone is talking about is the way he set up (well, reinforced, really) a dichotomy: that you either "stay home" or you "work." Homemaking can absolutely be done while also doing paid work - look forward to reading that piece later today.

Same! (Though I'll admit, this piece linked here on homemaking was a complete coincidence re: that speech... This edition was drafted before I'd even heard that speech.)

Oh I agree. Fr. Mike exudes kindness and likability.

I now remember this is the time of year when Americans start talking about summer break and we still have 8 weeks more school to go 😭

Those comments about the diner dream made my morning! I laughed so hard reading the comments: "I don't want to see this it ruins the vision . . ."
