Parenting is driving to the store for grapes at night in the rain because it's all your sick 4-year-old says he will eat... (lemm.ee)

...then after eating a few of the grapes he says he doesn't like the "inside part" of the grape, and just likes the juice. Now he wants grape juice.

I'm not proud to admit that I ended up blending grape jelly with apple juice for him, since we didn't have any grape juice. But he loved it, so... I'll take the win.

I want to know who downvoted your comment as well. Don't much care their reasons why.

I did. Dude has main character syndrome. Not every thought you have needs to be vocalized and no one owes him an answer. Votes are public and if they really cared so much, they could find the people and ask them.

This is just attention seeking and spam.

"Main character syndrome"? For sharing their experiences online? Oh ffs.

Man.. sometimes folks just want to vocalize their thoughts and feelings.

Maybe this dude wants to seek out other parents who sacrifice for their kids. Maybe this is a justification for their exhaustion. Maybe they just wanted to share this memory with other parents in an online space.

Want more mentally healthy men? Let them open up.

"Main character syndrome".... ffs.

Dude doesn't have access to the records of who downvoted what, and neither do you or I. That's admins or mods only, if even they can look it up. Thanks for outing yourself and reinforcing my hunch that its mostly projecting word-spewers who aren't worth interacting with. Bye.
