✏ Rules
- DO NOT DOXX YOUR KIDS - Seriously, use an alt for this comm or keep it vague; otherwise we’re centralizing info about everyone’s kids into a single place that can be easily focused on.
- No jokes about dead kids - I don't care how much the romanovs deserved it, or how right John Brown was, save it for another comm.
- No antinatalism struggle sessions

Last night I slept the best I have in years because my child left a stuffed toy in my bed - I woke up cradling it like a baby. It brought back a lot of memories.
I used to fall asleep with my newborns, one in each arm, on my old recliner. Not all the time, I know it's not the safest, but sometimes it was the only thing that could calm them down. It was the most peaceful time in my life by far. They were so small and warm and... now they are almost too big to hold.
Gonna try to channel this feeling in the future, maybe sleep will finally come back to me.
thanks for reading my blog :^)
