Hey, life’s about balance—you skipped the kids but still get the entertainment without the sticky fingers. Honestly, a smart play. Glad you enjoy!

Thank you, just being part of their mess is the privilege of being a parent

Absolutely—mess and all. It’s one of the weird privileges no one warns you about… and yet here we are, eating half a waffle like it’s fine dining.

We’re just entering the food phase—5 months old and currently licking purée like it’s a science experiment—but I already know I’ll be the mom finishing cold nuggets and crusts like they’re appetizers. Saving this for when her plate becomes my unofficial lunch. 😅🍽️

Oh you are well on your way. First it’s purée, next it’s cold mac and cheese eaten standing up at the counter. Welcome to the club—we have many sauces and no shame.

I often justify it to myself and my wife as "we dont waste food in this house" but with the understanding its probably $6 a month in savings so...yah.🤣

EXACTLY. I tell myself I’m frugal. My bank account disagrees but my dad pride says otherwise. $6/month saved is $6/month earned, right?

Grilled cheese crusts are the best! If I owned a restaurant they’d be on the appetizer menu with a selection of dipping sauces and soups.

Barspoon peanut butter? I’m intrigued.

Grilled cheese crusts are an elite tier of leftovers.

Yup 👍🏼 you are full fledged my friend! My favorite, pizza crusts they leave…especially takeout and the leftover slices…tomorrow’s lunch! Happy munching 🙂

Pizza crusts are sacred. They taste even better when stolen off a tiny plate post-bedtime. It’s the little victories.
