Midnight u get off this board right now and go beat it up!

I'm probably gonna beat up the toilet later. I shouldn't have eaten the Gorgonzola burger earlier.

But the boy is not home tonight, so I can have the runs all night in peace. No knocking on the bathroom door every five minutes saying I gotta pee dad.

I am enjoying the parent-free evening. Listening to the Beatles now. Yellow Submarine.

Probably gonna jam to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band next. Or Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

Yep. No shame at all.

I'm actually jamming to some old school 70's music. I don't have to hear Paw Patrol in the background, so yeah.

Listening to some Guess Who. Clap for the Wolfman. Oh yeah. I need the soothing jams.

I think you'd like most my stations on Pandora

Unfortunately Pandora isn't Spotify so I can't just share the list on here

we are about to get wild up in here.

By wild, I mean we can actually stretch out in the bed without rolling over on the boy.

Why are you rolling around in bed with a little boy every night?

Because kids have no respect for boundaries.  My son is 9 and he'll just randomly some nights come climb in my bed...I'll wake up and there he is...I'm like dude, wtf are you doing in here, and he's like your bed is more comfortable than mine and I fell asleep playing (insert game here).  I may have to get him his own PS4 because even though he has a Switch, and DS he still plays my shit.

It's really me and his mother's fault though...He grew up sleeping with us because by the time he was born we hated each other and he was our buffer......My daughter has ALWAYS had her own room and bed....I don't recall her sleeping with us even once....I mean I'm sure she did but I can't think of a single instance right now.

Seriously?

Because he comes into our room every night and climbs in the bed with us. He likes our big bed more than he likes his bed.

Our boy has a PS3 in his room, as well as a Switch. He just got a new DS, and he still wants to play our daughter's Xbox, and all of disco's DS games. He has a ton of games, but always wants everybody else's shit. And he says every night, "I will be in your bed later." Even if we tell him to sleep in his bed tonight, he will wait until we go to sleep and sneak in. Sometimes I'd like to lock our door, but it would feel cruel. Little man is a bed hog too. And constantly kicking us. Little shit.

It sounds like he might have a bit of kleptomania going on. But seriously, might want to start putting in some boundaries now lest this continues well past its cuteness.

The other thing you might want to ask is, is there a reason he doesn't feel as comfortable in his own bed (psychologically speaking). I don't want to psychoanalyze your son, that's for you but this is probably the right question to think on.

Nah. He's comfortable in his bed, he just wants a bigger one. A king sized bed like we sleep in. Which isn't happening anytime soon. He sleeps in his own bed a lot, but he does like to come to our bed a lot too. I just have to tell him before he goes to bed, not to come in our room tonight, and he won't. But right now it's fine. He's five and he doesn't really know any one except his family. So, he likes being around us all time. We have to enjoy that while it lasts, because one day he won't want to be around us all the time.

I envy you. I wish to have a family someday. It seems unlikely. Perhaps my brother will have kids and then I can just be the Uncle that gets to spoil them occasionally.

It is never dull. And our kids have a huge age gap. One will be 17 this month, and the boy is 5. One wants to be around us 24-7, and the other one we see when she wants something. If we see her outside raking or something, we're like, oh shit. What does she want? Haha. The boy just tells us what he wants. And he's got expensive taste. Little man wants video games. And not the cheap ones. He wants the $60 ones. 

Kids are expensive. But they come in handy as little dependents. Haha.

Also dude... your son doesn't know how good he has it on the video game front. When I was growing up my parents barely let me have an SNES or watch TV. The religious types tend to believe those things are of the devil you know. And of course, around that time the Columbine Massacre happened too, it took me 4 more years just to save money and then convince them to let me buy my own computer after that. Those jackasses ruined it for us kids who already had a hard time convincing our parents to let us play anything.

Yeah, that sounds like me at that age..... I'd have no idea how to raise a daughter either kudos to you.

I know the boy is spoiled with gaming. I had the consoles at one time too. But I was already almost grown when the SNES came out. I had one, but didn't play it much.

I didn't have to deal with school massacres. All of that mess started happening long after I was out of school. But we home school our kids for that reason. And the education system here is jacked.

The public school system tends to be bad at it's intended purpose in most places. I hope he will have some other outlet for socializing with kids his own age though. For me, it was more of a chance to see how stupid most people are at an early age, and learn how to deal with their deficiencies in a way that would not cause conflict. Trial and error is the best method for human interaction,  larger sample sizes tend to make for better results in my experience.

He's had a little social interaction. We let him go to day care for a while, just for socialization, and he played soccer last fall. He will be playing again this year.

Once a year, like sex camels or Galapagos tortoises

I didn't say once a year. I said next week is our anniversary. 

When did you last get laid?

I'll wait while you flip through the calendar(s).
