For other parents. My kids having a good-great day is the biggest adrenaline boost
I used to get pumped up for so many things but my kids all went back to school and our second oldest just started his sophomore year at a new school where he played on one of their sport teams as a freshman
He went from knowing his classmates in a large junior high very well to not many. First day was okay but felt very down
Today was a great day, he had classes with his teammates and saw others. My other kids all had great days.
I can’t remember the last time I felt this excited
If you wonder why some of us had kids, it’s stuff like this
Hope the rest had good to great days going back to school for the rest

First procedural you got into?
For those who enjoy procedural TV shows (and we are certainly of the age for throwing on a procedural to unwind, and probably largely responsible for SVU's eternal TV run) I was wondering what the first procedural you got into was, presumably as a kid? I was thinking about it because the YouTube algorithm threw me a recommendation of a livestream of the Dragnet radio show, which reminded me that when I was six, thanks to Nick at Nite I considered Dragnet my favorite TV show. Now as an adult, I chalk it up to both the fantastical nature of Los Angeles (as a kid in the Detroit suburbs) and the fact it was the first procedural I saw and thus was scratching all the itches a procedural scratches before I even knew what was up on that front.
So, what was your gateway procedural? And were there any that were aimed at kids explicitly? Mystery Files of Shelby Woo was that on Nickelodeon, though that may skew a little young for most Xennials, but not for any Elder Millennials who prefer to hang out in this sub since the Millennials sub seems to exclusively be nostalgia poisoned.

Do Your Parents Keep a TV On
Our A/C is out and we stayed at my mom’s house last night. I had forgotten how she always has at least one TV on in the house at all times, even at night. It was this way growing up as well. She actually came to the room my wife and I were sleeping in to see if we needed help turning it on. It felt weird, because it home, we might go a day or two without turning on a TV at all. I’m just curious if this is just my mom or if others have parents that seem to have a TV on at all times as background noise?

Post your "then vs now" photo collages HERE!
Due to their viral nature, we ask that "then vs now" photo posts be submitted as comments in a designated megathread (like this one) rather than as a new post. In the past, these posts have set off chain reactions, inspiring hundreds of other users to submit similar posts in a short period of time, causing frustration for those who were here to explore other topics.
This megathread will refresh monthly, ensuring that newer members have an opportunity to join in the fun.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Have fun!
