That’s being a kid too.

manateedreams.bsky.social•13 days ago

It’s also asking yourself the same question morning after morning after morning…what am I making for dinner?

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•13 days ago

This is 100% TRUE!!

findinglifesfire.bsky.social•13 days ago

This is so real. 😔

elephante.bsky.social•14 days ago

Some truth there, yes.

marileealong.bsky.social•13 days ago

andrea666.bsky.social•13 days ago

So basically being a kid.

resister999.bsky.social•13 days ago

Also "if it tastes good spit it out."

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•13 days ago

Oh yeah. Cause if it tastes good, it's probably not good for you.

jeffanddonkeys.bsky.social•13 days ago

🎯

tsktsk-tuttut.bsky.social•13 days ago

Washing dishes. And more dishes. And coming up with a meal and, again, dishes.

solarpons83.bsky.social•7 days ago

A total curse

80sbearsfan4life.bsky.social•14 days ago

Pretty much.

frogzilla.bsky.social•13 days ago

Don’t forget doing a job you don’t want to.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•13 days ago

Of course. There's that...

hoosiergirl222.bsky.social•14 days ago

Girl. Bed is where it's at. I've never known me not to want to go to bed.

lisamikels2.bsky.social•13 days ago

Yes damn it no one tells you this when you're a kid 🤣

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•13 days ago

I know, right?!

daerickgross.com•14 days ago

i feel this.

painfully.

captmillennial.bsky.social•14 days ago

I didn’t realize constant dread was part of it, but here we are.

Very rarely an adult these days, thank goodness.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•13 days ago

Good on you-

hudsonvalleyny1.bsky.social•13 days ago

And laundry.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•13 days ago

Always laundry...

markofthed.bsky.social•14 days ago

I have 3 children under the age of 3. I concur....

lindadrakequack.bsky.social•13 days ago

I’m retired and am lucky enough to get up and go to bed whenever I want. It’s one of the treats of retirement after so many years of being on a work schedule. I hope retirement benefits remain for those of you still working. It’s a crazy time right now.

jasongancedo.bsky.social•13 days ago

And paying bills. Always with the goddamn bills.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•13 days ago

Right?! Like laundry, they're endless...

pearlpearl1.bsky.social•14 days ago

🛌🌞🏃‍♀️

rnschltz.bsky.social•14 days ago

This describes my life with cats. I am on their schedule, not mine. If I am up past bedtime, I get the stink eye. If I am sleep late, I get the stomping across my chest.

Their schedule, not mine. They are indeed my feline overlords.

jolew927.bsky.social•14 days ago

It’s gets way better once you retire

joqatana.bsky.social•14 days ago

Maybe if you retire by choice.

smalljane.bsky.social•13 days ago

So true.

sharonfisher68.bsky.social•14 days ago

Facts

pammygirl10.bsky.social•13 days ago

And paying all your money out to everyone who you don't want to

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•13 days ago

So true!

hjklovesanimals.bsky.social•14 days ago

And doing a whole bunch of other stuff u don’t want to do. And being very bored a lot of the time.

chrislovespugs.bsky.social•14 days ago

😂😂😂 Perfect!

rocknrolldragon.bsky.social•14 days ago

Also not sleeping when you WANT to~

danithedem.bsky.social•13 days ago

Sounds a lot like being a kid, except we get less snow days off.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•13 days ago

If we get *any* snow days off! (I actually fled the NY snow for CA) I'm glad we've connected, Dani. If you like what I post here, my Substack is where I dig into even more insights and fun. It’s free to join. No obligation—just a friendly invite. Link’s in my bio.

danithedem.bsky.social•13 days ago

Cool, thanks!! I just logged out of substack a short while ago, but took a screenshot so I can find you when I go back in.

I’m kinda new to that so I’m still figuring things out 😉.

michaelpacholek.bsky.social•13 days ago

When snow means missing work, and that means not getting paid, and it gets harder to go to the store and buy things (shoulda gotten the bread and milk), you realize that "snow" is a four-letter word.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•13 days ago

Yes it is.

dreinpg.bsky.social•14 days ago

There’s some paying for shit you don’t want to pay for mixed in there as well.

dadpocalypsenow.bsky.social•14 days ago

Can confirm

georgannk.bsky.social•13 days ago

I'm pretty much always happy to go to bed. Getting up is another matter.

tsktsk-tuttut.bsky.social•13 days ago

Same. I'm retired, but I have a dog needing care. That dictates when I can go to bed, or must get up, or mix meds and try to coax her to take them or eat meals. I shower, shop, nap when she takes naps. The schedule varies. I hated the get up-work-home-bed routine before but I love bed even more now.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•13 days ago

Agree.

obrienp.bsky.social•14 days ago

Isn't that a bitch?🤣

totallyblue.bsky.social•14 days ago

Or getting out of bed on a cold & rainy day to get the dogs out and they won’t go ! 🤣🤣

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•14 days ago

that's always fun!

tsktsk-tuttut.bsky.social•13 days ago

Try that with a dog that needs a sling to walk. Even more fun.

toni7477.bsky.social•14 days ago

Your right there Hun 😃👍

puertopaz.bsky.social•14 days ago

And finding a mate who has the polar opposite circadian rhythms and arguing with them about bedtime, because the early to bed person is too light of a sleeper, and too much of an insomniac, to have the night owl climb into bed later.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•14 days ago

Yikes. That would definitely be a source of disagreement! I'm glad we've connected, Puerto Paz. If you like what I post here, my Substack is where I dig into even more insights and fun. It’s free to join. No obligation—just a friendly invite. Link’s in my bio.
