Does the same conversation topic bore you quickly, and you find yourself switching topics quickly and using other people in your social environment as excuses to talk about something else, or do you prefer to reflect and talk for at least 10 minutes about the same topic?

Not asking for something or to do something, just asking like for clarity.

Me and my daughter went to the gym and it was an easy day just some mobility stretching then went out for dinner!

Bonus question!
Here are the stretches I did. What name would you give each? (I don't know the actual names) and vote for your favourite!

So there's this big issue about my nan giving £50 to her son and £20 to his wife (or equivalent in gifts). Her argument is he's my son I'll always give him more.

My Aunty hates this she says she's his wife of nearly 25 years now. And that their money is their money, it's not his and hers it's theirs, so just say here's £70 to the both of you rather than specify, "this is for a, and this is for b" (words nan has spoken before). My aunty's other argument is her parents spend equally on the both of them, so why don't his mum do the same.

There has also been some drama about the fact my uncle calls his wife's parents mum and dad. Which many in our family finds weird - personally I'm not sure how I feel about that. I think it's odd, but then, I was never able to call my dad's partner my mum, and they've been together for 18 years now.

I understand both points of view: it's a bit demeaning to be called son and wife, but at the same time that is her son and she is the wife. Like I know if I were to get a husband, dad would spend more on me then he would him, he'd still get something nice, but he certainly wouldn't spend as much. And that doesn't bother me at all.

A pronoun party is where a child announces to the world what they would like their pronouns to be. It's a great way of them getting the message out to a large number of friends and family.

But does every child need it's own personal pronoun party? Could you just combine them in to one big party where everyone announces their pronouns. There could even be an International holiday like Christmas where kids tell us what they are and remind us every year

Every parent knows birthday parties can run expensive, especially when your trying to keep up with the Jones. But individual parties make a child feel special and ensure the focus is on them. But we have to recognise times are tough so I see nothing wrong with families in a street all having their pronoun party in the church hall at the same time.
