Took my (5) kids out for lunch today, They were polite, quiet, and well-behaved. I was so proud.
Then an older woman approached us, looked at my ten-year-old daughter, and said, “all these siblings are the best birth control, honey” and walked away.
Just…why

Urgent prayers needed:
A friend’s husband was in a bicycle accident yesterday. He broke his neck in two places and while he is currently stable, it’s been touch-and-go.
Please pray for miraculous healing through the intercession of Bl. Carlo Acutis for this father of two.

Another year, another Catholic School fundraiser that singles out the poor kids.
Last year, my then-6yo daughter came home crying because all but she and one other kid in her class were taken to the cafeteria to drink hot chocolate and watch a movie.

Appropriate things for a priest to say to a woman 5 mos postpartum:
- “what a cute baby”
- “how nice to see you!”
Inappropriate:
- “I remember you as much skinnier gal”
- literally anything about her body, ever
Yes, this really happened to me today

This time, my almost-8yo didn’t care.
But my 5yo came home crying.
If Catholic schools can’t sincerely make efforts to include kids with diverse families, why should I pinch pennies and loan money to send them there until my husband is done with school?

I had to say, “sorry, I WORK FOR THIS PARISH and this is our only income because my husband is in school, &most of our friends work for the Church, too.”
I brought up that maybe diversifying the fundraising committee to be more than comfortable, two-parent families might help.

My 6yo looked at me and said, “Mommy, what did I do wrong? Why couldn’t I get the treat and watch the movie?”
She is a wonderful child and did nothing wrong. But she was singled out because we don’t have a large network of wealthy friends. Try explaining that to a 6yo.

She was six. years. old. How do they expect a small child to understand “it’s not you, honey, mommy didn’t send us ten names of people we could send fundraising letters to...”
Especially when mommy and daddy don’t HAVE ten people they’d feel comfortable sending that letter to.

They promised that this wouldn’t happen again.
But Thursday is the same thing: all the kids whose parents sent in 10 names get to wear pajamas. A few days later, kids whose parents sent in 20 names get a dress down day and ice cream.

Concrete ways you can take care of postpartum moms you love:
- don’t ask, “how can I help?”— we are exhausted and don’t know what we need. Just come and be a magic house fairy. Dishes, laundry, vacuuming make the most impact.

Thanks! It originally felt so petty to make a stink about hot chocolate and pajamas.
But um... I just can't fathom a committee of adults agreeing that the deliberate exclusion of children is a good idea. THAT is a symptom of very serious issue.

I came from a home where this was constantly a question from a young age, and I was embarrassed and bothered by it.
So with my children, rather than lean into boy/girl romantic/crush language, I try very hard to emphasize that boys and girls can be friends, even good friends!

Its not an anti-sexuality or puritanical approach. I simply don’t think there’s any value at all in having children be concerned about whether a boy or girl “likes” them in a “special way” that’s not just…friends?

My new dream is to create an org that exclusively ministers to and provides resources for lay people in ministry. I’m seeing faster and more dramatic burnout than ever.
Ministry has changed completely in the last ten years and we’re acting like it hasn’t.
The sad truth is that there are a lot of atheists in Christian ministry, who remain because it’s what they know how to do and who to be.
Pray for them.

First, that women are dangerous, flirting temptation machines that must be avoided.
Women have Body Parts — and they are allowed to!! Part of the unique cross of being a young man in this world is to battle the pornified idea that everything women are and do is sexual.
