Text exchange with my pre-teen. Spoiler: I got her the iPhone case without contingencies.

@alpenglow Here is my daughter learning/practicing some soldering 😃 ❤️ Won't be long before she's better at it than me!

Tried to get the kids pumped for learning geometry soon, by telling them about the time I needed to use the Pythagorean Theorem to figure out what size party favor bags to order for one of their bday parties, years back. #maths #stem #teenagers #coolmom #ParentingFTW

Pro tip: if you want your kid to return overdue library books, tell them they will not be getting any more Robux until said books are returned.

Somehow, magically, a book my child hadn’t returned for at least a month was returned the first day after I made this threat.

There's perhaps nothing as satisfying as putting on a silly old movie and having your teenager decide he wants to watch it with you instead of forcing you to change shows #ParentingFTW https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0383216/

I must be doing something right as a parent - both my teenage boys drop quotes from Phil Ochs’ “Draft Dodger Rag” into casual conversation. #ParentingFTW #PhilOchs

Girl was ignoring me with her iPad, boy was ignoring me for the TV. In a fit of rage I took away their electronics for 10 minutes.

Now they're both ignoring me to jump on a bed. #ParentingFTW

updated #PineTime firmware last night, it is no longer 1970. A shame as I was looking forward to catching some concerts I missed the first time around :)

Showed kidling updated watch, both have disappeared for some playtime

I will certainly be regaled about new features later
