Sounds about right from friends/family who have crotchfruit. Yeah fuck that, especially if you only have one. Take the kid with you, don't let them run your life. Get them used to doing what you're doing rather than the other way around. :lolgasm: yea I’m taking the toddler to a rooftop bar next time
