      I just mildly injured my back picking up my almost 9 year old.

      I had to accept it was the last time I’m going to be able to carry him. But I can still give him piggy backs.

          He started swim team 2 months ago and has been practicing for 3 times a week and apparently has packed on a fair bit of muscle.

          I’ve never been good at muscle building like he is, im a tall skinny dude. He must have got it from his mom.

        This is the reason I’ve decided to pick up my kids for as long as I can. Every. Day. I will strength train my back to be able to do it for longer, for as long as they want me to.

      Probably. Only a few years later, I got my first half sibling. Not much uppies after that.
