He has a few toys he must be familiar with by now, but there's nothing that boy loves more than "claiming" a new toy for himself. Like, I think he's going to have a bit of a learning curve when it comes to sharing, when his little brother or sister is born. (They're still in the "trying" phase of getting pregnant, but that's where we're heading.)

finding and claiming new toys is very adventurous.
Oh I bet he will have a learning curve. I guess that is normal, but I have a hard time teaching kids that. __________________

If I learned anything from this weekend, it's that it's an amazing wonderful thing that I am not a single mother. I could not do kids on my own. Good gracious.
This week's evenings are going to be very precious to me, I think. I foresee nothing but quite and maybe, just maybe, if I have to, a few loads of laundry here and there. Maybe the odd grocery run. But especially, quiet. Quiet and solitude. __________________

I'd never be able to do it.
It sounds like quality regaining energy time. __________________

Most "families" on the island of Montreal are singletons. So, you know, society needs to catch up to us.

I like that idea.

Well, it's just common sense to me, isn't it? We no longer live in a world where there's any shame in not being married past a certain age. So, what do you know, loads of us are perfectly happy living our lives without going down that road.
So, again, as far as I'm concerned, society needs to catch up to us. This is the reality. __________________

Agreed.
It seems like almost every day I do something, and think "Thank goodness I don't have to explain or justify this to someone, or, listen to what they think about it." I can't figure out if that makes me selfish or not. Compromise in how I live I just don't do well. __________________

If that is selfish, it's not the wrong kind of selfishness. Like, you're not depriving anyone by thinking or behaving that way.
And you're not the only one who thinks that way. I think most of us who grow older as singletons get a bit set in our ways. __________________

True. Once we get used to stuff being our way, and that goes on for years, it's kind of hard to learn to compromise.
One thing for me, I always sucked at dating. Like official dates. Even if I'd been someone for a little while, I hated it. I was the "let's hang out in a group" person. __________________

See, that's the part where I'm eternally screwed. I suck at the one on one, but I also suck at the group hang. The group hang would obviously work better for me, but the "date" part of it would have to come very naturally and not as part of a plan made ahead of time, you know?
And that's never happened, so I don't see how it ever will. Good thing I'm fine being by myself. __________________

It's very liberating, I find.
