    As if modern parenting isn’t hard enough — Algorithms! Porn! Violence! Sugar! Environmental collapse! Jordan & Salish Matter migrating from YouTube, which you already banned, to Netflix, so now you have to block it there! The rise of fascism! — but there is something that might be doing more damage to parents’ mental health than all of these combined:SCHOOL GROUP CHATS.Whichever fuckwit thought that allowing parents to communicate with each other CONSTANTLY about the most inconsequential issues

    I’m just going to come out and say it. If you are one of the couples at my gym who can’t stop canoodling, I want you to stop. Immediately.Am I a loveless old cynic with a cold, dead heart and a depressed vagina? Probably, but it doesn’t change the fact that I simply don’t want to see you sucking face on the leg press machine or groping each other’s arses while doing deep squats.

    I wish I could say I had the commitment to get up at 3 am yesterday to watch the Socceroos —the Australian men’s soccer team (yes, I’m sorry we call it soccer here because we also have Australian Rules Football) — play their first knockout game in the World Cup against Egypt.However, as a middle-aged mother of three, sleep is simply more important to me than, well, anything, even (and especially) televised sport.So I’m sorry, Socceroos.
