There’s an idea. The old boy could learn to bbq. That’s acceptably manly, right? Potato salad/slaw and bagged salad come ready to eat so the old girl won’t be expected to make sides.

I personally disliked my countertop dishwasher but if your olds are less picky than me it could help them.

You don't see that on Masterchef

I hope some more Bellarine time gives you the chance to relax a bit - you’ve got a difficult situation going on. Taking care of yourself is important too 💛

Woof, you definitely deserve a bit of time and space after all that energy going around. That's great that you have this space to get a breather because it sounds like A Lot. It also sucks to be the only child stepping up (I note crickets around the sibling's involvement).

Your little dim sims almost look like dangerous marshmellows. Very cute. I kind of want to try grilled dim sims too. (Also good idea from melbaboutown regarding your dad doing Manly Barbequeing - though it depends on whether you mother can eat that or needs softer foods)
