My kids are fighting because my 11yo filled my 6yo's Minecraft house with cats. There's like 100 cats in the house and she can't get rid of them. As a parent I don't know how to handle this situation lol

Might fuck around and donate stuff for a craft to my kid's class. Just some random filters, a fan. Maybe some duct tape and an extension cord. Idk. Just regular art stuff

My sister: *saying what name she has picked out for her baby*
