My daughter is 20 and in college now but I was a single dad and spent many days like you where parenting took every minute I had.
It absolutely gets easier. You’re In the phase where they’re mobile, can’t do anything for themselves, yet somehow, if you look away for 3 seconds they will burn the house down.
They start taking care of themselves more and rmore, requiring less constant watching until one day you wake up and they’re 20 and in college
Artist/authors John Conway and C. M. Kosemen have a book called All Yesterdays about this subject.
Leonard Cohen’s last song released days before he died was called “You Want It Darker.” One of the verses is:
“They’re lining up the prisoners and the guards are taking aim, I struggled with some demons, they were middle class and tame, I didn’t know I had permission to murder and to maim, You want it darker, we kill the flame.”
Anyway, that’s me, in the middle class. I could be better, but however bad I am, I’m still on the tame level.
Several are like that. S-Sea, D-Double U, T-Tsunami

I’ve made this case to Christians before. If people who don’t hear about it get a free pass into heaven, after Jesus died, if they just didn’t say anything, everyone on earth would go to heaven.
Any time they go somewhere new and preach, they have to get 100% to believe just to keep the number of people going to heaven the same. Anything less and hell has gained some new souls.
Christianity is a recruitment tool for hell.
I like that she’s steering while tumbling through the door and was hoping she’d land it clean
Yeah, The first sentence on the atf website says “ATF launched a new era of reform in 2025…” and the rest of the page is listing the “new era actions taken.”
It does say it was updated in May 2026, which is somewhat recent, but there’s nothing that indicates this page is listing everything they’re currently doing.
I’ve been here 2-3 years and have up or down voted like 5 times. I just don’t care about it and don’t look at the numbers. Seems to work
