It's like she doesn't know about chargers. When I get home, I plug it in, it gets all the way up to 3% and then she takes it out. A few minutes later I'll see it either dead or on 1% RIGHT NEXT TO THE CHARGER. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, JUST PLUG IT IN.

I am the official plugger inner in my house, if I dont plug it in it will die.

But she has me there, cuz sometimes I need to call her, so I plug it in for my sake.

I feel like I can handle one out of three of pesach cleaning, my wife, and my kids these days.

If I must give a more concrete grouch. My (too old for this bs) kid had three accidents in two days. I'm at the point of just throwing stuff out so I don't have to clean more things.

I'm loving these grouches even though loving grouching is completely against the rules. We have to hate the grouching. With a passion. But not dare cross the line by enjoying it. You have to hate loving it and love to hate it.

My son, who has never once woken up from his alarm clock, or has never used it to actually wake himself up, regularly manages to set it for 5am, and particularly on shabbos morning. And it's set to the max volume and it's one of those that goes on forever!
Which has led me to taking all my kids by the hand every Friday afternoon and double triple checking that every alarm in the house is switched off for shabbos. And of course they always tell me that they already turned it off.

I didn't believe I could be clean
Until I actually got clean.
If I can do it, you can too!
