I& #39;m taking the rest of the day off.

It& #39;s the policing of my parenting during a pandemic that has pushed me over the fucking edge.

The closest playground to my house is blocked off by caution tape by local police.

I am not a cruel mother for wanting to keep my children alive.

Also, dear god, some of you white women moms are fucking intolerable. Jesus Christ do you even have friends

I mean how do you even circulate in society with your fucking judgement

Perfectionism is a tool of oppression and goddamn do you know how to wield it with impunity

And also: the next time someone does this I am putting you on blast.

You& #39;ve been warned.

Also, I will steal your Michael& #39;s card and humiliate your holiday home decor and your fucking scented candles.

There.

I will insult your fake pumpkin centerpiece displays.

PERIOD.

I will steal your stick figure window magnets and set them on fire.

And when your priceless daughter insults mine for having glasses or says boys can& #39;t marry boys or bullies a Black child for half a year without any discipline, we& #39;ll talk about who& #39;s the better mother.

DUNZO.

(damn that felt good)
