Oh yeah, dude. There’s no excuse for a child gaining access to guns. My kids don’t even know I have a gun case, and it’s on a shelf 7 feet above the ground, but now that the word “DART” is in their head, I can’t risk them finding it. Gotta change up the defense.
Can’t you just change the word?

My kids grew up around guns and have handled them from a young age. Daughter used to dry fire with me back when I shot competitively. I grew up the same way. I’ve always thought that taking the mystery and secretiveness away from something and explaining it and demystifying it would be the safer route.
Growing up my buddies who’s parents hid the guns would sneak in there and mess with them. When I wanted to see them or show them off I just asked my dad and he’d oblige.
Obviously there is no one size fits all and I respect any decision a parent makes that they feel is right. Just throwing my worthless .02 in lol

I confess the two things I need to do more of are run and hit the Body Action System.
And what I will do instead is more WODs and lifting.

It’s cool! Trust your instincts.
Lifting has been consistently proven to be more effective training for running than running.

I love science! Same stuff that shows me red meat is good, vegetables are bad, and breakfast cereal is the ideal post workout food!
Actually, let me now confess that, due to letting my family pick where we eat over the weekend, I’ve had wings 3 days in a row. And since I bring home leftovers each time, I’ll also have wings for the next 3 days.
And I confess these will be 6 of the best days of my life.

There can never be too many wings

My wife just started to meal prep (again) and she is stealing all of my containers.
Confession - of all the shitty things to go on since we got married, if she breaks of loses one of my containers it will be the worst thing to have happened since we got married.
They are the glass type with a plastic lids. The lids fit REAL tight, and don’t leak and the portion size is perfect for my daily chilli. I can buy more but
Honestly this is stressful. I don’t want to fall out with her. But I will.

You gotta snap off, you gotta snap off. Unfortunate, but that’s life.
Confession: I have containers no one else is allowed to use.

as they are glass - they dont deal very well temperature differentials. So when she microwaves her chilled soup and it cracks I’m going to go spare. As its one of the rules. Do not microwave the glass!
If this is true, You must have a blessed marriage. I’m saying this unironically

No, I agree with @carlbm on this one. There are certain things I don’t touch that are “my wife’s” and certain things that are “mine” that she doesn’t touch. They are like detonators on marriage nukes and the fallout is ridiculous.

So you’re probably going to lose your containers but you may as well have fun with it in the meantime.
First off the rank is a good mansplaining session around the correct way to use the containers.
The right container for the right foods
Don’t over fill, there can be no bulging of the lid.
Ensuring the lid is correctly fitted, listen for the snap
Always secure in your bag, give no chance for them to move around
Heating management - take the container out a good 30 minutes before heating
Take this as an opportunity to mansplain proper reheating of food (not in the container, etc)
How to walk to make sure your container isn’t damaged during transportation
After the containers have been used, inspect them. Don’t say anything, look really closely at one corner, press on it, rub it then just make an inquisitive sound. One day you ask ‘did you give this the full 30 minutes to come to room temperature?’
If one ever comes back with a crack. You just look at it, shake your head and say in a sombre voice “I’m going for a walk”…

I confess that I haven’t eaten McDonalds in over 10 years. One day my parents decided that McDonalds was gross. Last time I’ve eaten it, I was very young. I don’t think I’ll ever eat it again.
Btw…
Burger King > McDonalds

We really don’t. We have had some bad luck. 2012 and this year have been pretty rough. But we are committed to each other. For better or worse.
Life is not all sunshine and roses.
