Having a guy's weekend in Rehoboth with the kiddo.
There's been fart jokes and junk food galore.
Also, he's hitting that age where I get to teach him how to shave. 😱 So that's part of the guys weekend plans.
In my head I'm half 'this is awesome watching him grow up and all' and half 'IM NOT READY FOR THIS, WHERES MY LITTLE BOY'
@misslovelymess is there a word for when youre happy something is happening but also sad because something is happening?
@Kurtroedeger @misslovelymess
Only thing I could find was bittersweet : bittersüß
But also as you mentioned shaving...
This might be a good gift? Realty close shaves...
Got sick of cost of multiblade razors...
@InvaderGzim @misslovelymess thank you for the recommendation. I haven't touched a razor except to stop a uni brow forming, so I just sneak the wife's 🤫. Kiddo has only seen pictures of me without a beard and he's 15 now.
I'll get him started on some disposables which should hold him for a bit, then as it becomes more routine I'll upgrade him for bday or Christmas some time.
@Kurtroedeger @misslovelymess
Oh... Fyi.. they just started making a disposable that they sell in a pack of 5 of you wanted to go that route..
Sorry.. not that I work for them... Just like my razor... And I only use it 2x a week... Sigh... No one cares what I look like. 😊🤷🏻♂️
I had acne well into my 30s and shaving with acne and skin sensitive to anything scented was a nightmare, so I gave up and let the beard grow.
The acne went away when a Dr put me on daily Flonase for an ear/sinus issue. Flonase is an anti inflammatory, and it blew my mind how it could build up enough in my system to solve that. But I still don't shave 😂
@Kurtroedeger Bittersweet.
Also, it's called a dialectic. When two things are true at the same time.
@Kurtroedeger two opposite things
@misslovelymess thank you. I knew that, but couldn't get the right word out. 🤗🤗
For your assistance, I send you a taco ----->🌮
@Kurtroedeger Also, hot tip: as part of the coming of age/birds and bees, you probably don't want to make him look at pictures of STI's to demonstrate the importance of using condoms. I think I really did some damage there, with my nugget. 😂 😂
@Kurtroedeger I didn't actually do that, not until like 17 anyway, lololol.
I'll hold off for a bit then 😱
We have the birds and bees talk here and there as subjects come up, and not a sit down let's make this awkward convo.
Alot of anime is a bit over sexualized, which when kiddo and I are watching a show together, does give a chance to touch on some subjects.
@Kurtroedeger
It's wonderful, though. I'm very happy for you. He will grow into a big hairy man that you're so proud of and so grateful to have in your life. 💜
@Kurtroedeger Awe! You are both going to have an amazing weekend! Enjoy.
