familyFIRST+FollowParents, what did your kid do that made you go “that’s 100% genetic”?one time my toddler son gave this huge cackling witch laugh and it was the absolute exact copy of my own laugh that I tried to suppress for years. A high school friend was there and just stared at me and said "Oh my god, that's you." It was both embarrassing and deeply hilarious. #Parenting #Genetics #FunnyKids #ToddlerLife #ParentingJourney #FamilyFirst 30Share
eric80+FollowFuture Me is going to hate Present Me. Anyone else drowning in "Buy Now, Pay Later" receipts? 💳The holiday sales got me good. I used Klarna/Affirm for a few "big" Christmas gifts for the kids because the upfront cost was too high. It felt like free money at the time. Now I’m looking at my budget for January and realizing I have four different payment plans coming out of my account at the same time. I feel like I'm borrowing from my future rent money just to put presents under the tree. Is anyone else relying on these installment plans to survive the holidays? #BuyNowPayLater #DebtTrap #HolidayShopping #Budgeting #FinancialStress #Parenting #Christmas202510Share
