Anon vent: I’m 35 weeks pregnant and last night DH decided to get in our small dog’s face to the point that the dog lost it and sliced his lip open, nostril to the bottom. So instead of doing bed time for the oldest and getting my much needed rest we all spent a good half the night at the emergency room. Just – WHY??? I don’t think he’s crazy enough to do this on purpose but I swear big life events draw out the stupid in my husband (normally a slow but reliable person) and occasionally I feel like I am an asylum director. Thanks for listening. Please share stories of stupid things your housemates have done.

We have this set or a very similar one. It’s great for indoor pretend play but the tools don’t hold up to actual (literal) gardening.
