I’m Not Just Raising a Son, I’m Raising Someone’s Future Husband

My son has had household chores since he could walk. I’ve always tried to have age-appropriate expectations of him — a toddler chore, for example, amounted to him putting his clothes into the hamper — but I wanted my son to learn the value of helping out around the house early on. See, I’m not just raising a son. I’m raising someone’s future husband.

When I explained this logic to a friend, a light bulb went off inside her head. She had never thought of her own children as future grown-ups. Most of us don’t. Sure, we may ponder where our children will go to college or what career they may someday choose, but we rarely think of our children as somebody’s future spouse. It’s equally hard to imagine that most of our children will even grow up to be somebody’s parent!

Hey moms, you might not know this, but there’s one person in your community in desperate need of a hug right now: a toddler’s mom.

I don’t care what her life looks like — whether she’s squeezed back into her high school jeans, always has the perfect hair, seems to have the most connected and involved spouse, or has an enviable amount of household help — toddler moms are in the trenches and rarely get the support they need from friends, family, or strangers.

If your kiddos are a bit bigger, you may have forgotten, but let me remind you that toddlers are tiny terrorists whose sole goal in life is to mess with their parent’s lives.

Bored By Baseball? Meet The Savannah Bananas

If your social media feed has been filled with baseball players doing extensively choreographed dances and umpires doing backflips, you have been introduced to the Savannah Bananas. The “Harlem Globetrotters of Baseball”, the Georgia-based team is owned by husband-and-wife super duo Jesse and Emily Cole. The Coles’ mission is simple: make professional baseball more fun. With a 75,000 person waitlist for single-game tickets, it’s clear fans can’t get enough. Major League Baseball is taking notice.

Already well-versed in the inner workings of Minor League Baseball and summer leagues, the Coles attended a Saturday-night game at Savannah’s historic Grayson Stadium and were shocked by what they saw, the stadium was empty. A year later, the couple was given the opportunity to take over the franchise and breathe new life into the stadium and into the Coastal Plain League.

We are all in this together, trying to stay fit within the confines of our own homes. Turns out it’s not easier for fitfluencers like Selena Samuela.
