Here's how I see this - for generations, dad's were supposed to want sons and just sort of tolerated daughters. I'm Gen X and it was still sorta like that for us.

I think Girl Dad probably seems really weird to younger generations who grew up in a more empowered time...
But the current batch of girl dad stuff is all related to Kobe. For all his failings, it seems like one thing he did really well was be a dad to his girls, and proudly.

This is all a good thing, even though we wish it were unnecessary.
Ugh I hate typos on tweets, but alas. *dads

A heartfelt thank-you to @MittRomney for your bravery today. You listened to your moral compass, your own sense of right vs wrong, and likely prayed for guidance on how to vote today.

It might feel isolating now, but I'm certain many in the Senate WISH they had your guts.
@MittRomney While I may not agree with you on lots of issues, please know that I - and so many others - see who you are and what you've done and will never forget it. Certainly, many good-hearted Republicans, too.
@MittRomney Your name will be the one recorded in our children and grandchildren's history books.

Your example will be the one millions of families, from all sorts of backgrounds, use to illustrate to our kids what it looks like to do what's RIGHT, not what's necessarily easy or popular.

If you ask me how I'm doing, I'm going to tell you the truth. I'm tired. Like, tired into my bones. I have a toddler who doesn't sleep, a sick parent, very busy big kids, a job, a house under construction...

I'm tired. It's a lot. And I'm going to tell you that when you ask.
I'm sick of society's expectation that we're not going to burden each other with the truth when someone asks "how are you?" or "What's happening in your life?"

We need to be honest with each other. We aren't helping anyone with this garbage. So I'm gonna tell you the truth.
And if it feels like a burden to know how people are really doing, don't ask the question in the first place.

It's really quite simple. It's not about being negative or a downer. It's about being honest, and sometimes life is negative. That's just the facts.

I have a lot to say about this.

1. I tried ISR with my third baby and hated it. I thought it was cruel and it made my baby afraid of water and strangers. Not good.

2. I also have pulled a drowned 4 year old who couldn't swim from a pool, blue & cold.

I think ISR is cruel and **nothing** makes a toddler or baby "water-safe". Not a real thing.

However, if your kid is at any risk of being near a body of water & out of your sight for even one moment, ISR can be worth it. It does save lives.

But I'm telling you, it sucks.
I literally watched the teacher just take my baby from me and hold her under water for a LONG TIME the moment she touched the water. I still have nightmares. We quit after 4 lessons, surrendering what I'd paid. No regrets on losing that $$.

But...

They had roughly two weeks until the fight.

Jeongyeon was going crazy. Vampires, apparently, couldn't shut up on a group chat.

'Guys, look at how cute Taco looks when he sleeps!' Dahyun sends a picture of a cat.

Tzuyu sends, 'Cute.'

Mina sends, 'Awwn!'

Sana spams stickers.
Jeongyeon mutes the damn phone with a click of her tongue, putting it on the pocket inside her coat. She couldn't get distracted now; there was a vampire to hunt.

She moves slowly through the crowd, eyes searching and attentive ears. This fellow had been causing problems.
Then, she sees him. The picture back at the office had been clear enough for Jeongyeon to recognize his hair and features. He was accompanying a woman and both were chatting contently.

His victim, clearly. Jeongyeon follows them quietly until they take a turn on an empty street.
