Omg his answer to the pediatrician…that question at the annual checkup is always a trigger for my annual shame spiral…

LOL, when our pediatrician asked my son about what he did this summer, he just talked about video games, not the high-quality summer camps I spent trillions of dollars on.

it's hard because I love our pediatrician and it's *very* important to me to seem cool to her, including letting my child answer questions on their own without jumping all over his answers. So I let the comment stand but tried to thread alternate perspectives in via my casual comments throughout the rest of the checkup!!!
