‘It seems like everyone but you is responsible’: Dad accuses friend’s kids of stealing his 8-year-old’s toy, blames wife for not putting it away
Kids are unpredictable. You never quite know what their next move is going to be. Maybe they’ll start crying because their pants are a little too tight.

If you’ve ever played the Roblox game Dress to Impress, you know how time-sucking it can be.
