via @caroline_easomOn the same hand, accounts that center around child stars likeRecess Therapy, Ryan’s World, and family vloggers like The LaBrant Fam still rack up hundreds of millions of views. The purveyors of the content we say we disapprove of still manage to get engagement from our eyeballs. The cognitive dissonance is… cognitive dissonance-ing.

The thing about a break is that you don't have to work. That's kind of the very definition of a break. You get a couple of minutes where you don't have to think about your job. Your responsibilities are on hold, you're not needed, and you can think about something else. Plus, you can do anything you want on a break. Maybe you'll just use it to eat lunch, but heck, you could go jump rope in the park for 30 minutes if you wanted to. You could work on your novel.

Going on a group trip is kind of the ultimate test of friendship. It puts you in situations together that you wouldn't be otherwise. You're spending pretty much every minute together, navigating the trials and tribulations of travel. Maybe you have different ideas of how to spend your vacation. Maybe you have different levels of stamina when it comes to walking or traveling. Maybe you have different budgets. Maybe you have different tastes in food.

Some people are just naturally good tweeters. Just how some folks feel like they were born to post on Instagram- they have a knack for the visual, and their personal brand feels like part of their identity. And some freaks were born to post on LinkedIn- they love a long-winded announcement and they really care about "cultivating leadership" or whatever that means. Some were born to post little funny things to the website formerly known as Twitter.

As the artist currently known as Pink once said, "Right, right, turn off the lights, we gonna lose our minds tonight. What's the dealio?" And with that, she ushered us all into the party. She set the scene, laid out an objective, and then asked a provocative question. It's the perfect way to launch yourself into the night. You may have had a dreary week, heartlessly fulfilling obligations. You may not have much left to give. You may be scraping together two brain cells just to make it work.

Using your vacation days on something you don't want to go to is definitely not how you want to live your life. At least it's not how most of us want to spend our lives. We probably want to be choosy about who gets our time and who gets our money, seeing as there's not an infinite amount of it to go around. You most likely have places you'd like to visit, friends you'd like to see, and stuff you'd like to buy, so spending time and money on someone else's vacation is not at the top of your list.

In these TikToks, women (the majority of the time) declutter their homes, deep clean their showers, and sanitize all the nooks and crannies in their houses, all in a matter of minutes. They clean and restock their fridges with their latest Costco haul, which has been delivered to them via Instacart. All the specialized cleaning products appear in their hands with the snap of a finger (and are conveniently linked for purchase in their bio).

Steak is a special occasion food, at least in my house. We were definitely celebrating something if we were bellying up to a steak. It was somebody's birthday, graduation, anniversary, or Christmas. It wasn't just a weeknight dinner to gnaw on while we watched Wheel of Fortune. Of course, not every family operates this way. Perhaps some of you are running around with monocles looking like Mr. Monopoly, settling into a Steak Diane every Tuesday night.

It's hard for something to be truly baffling these days. We're so used to seeing all manner of crazy stuff all throughout the day, on the streets, and on our phones. It takes a lot to totally surprise us. We've all seen enough movies to be prepared for some wild things. The last time I was truly baffled by something is when I saw a gallon jug of honey with the top screwed open on the street. So many questions arise. How did it get there? Why would someone abandon that much honey?

Parenting is no walk in the park. Actually, it is a lot of walking and a lot of time spent in parks, but it's not easy. Being a parent is like being an ER nurse, a psychologist, a performer, and a maid all at once. Plus, you don't get paid to do it. You actually have to pay to do it, kind of a lot. The hidden costs of having a child will come out of nowhere. Sure, you anticipate food, clothing, and schooling-related expenses. But they don't tell you about Robux.
