And while we’re on the topic, Bluey’s parents need to knock it the gently caress off with going all in on how their kids want to play. gently caress you, I don’t want to play Mount Mum and Dad.

My kids always want to play the Bluey games where I carry them around. Backpackers is the worst when my 6 year old and twin 3 year olds are all scrambling to hang on to me. No I can't stand up while you're all holding on to me. Just once can we play blue mountain?Alterian posted:
yes!

Our daughter likes playing octopus, which having a puppy who wants to get in on the action, makes it hard to make sure no one gets jumped on or ran over. Daniel Tiger kills me, it is too saccharine for me but our daughter loves it. At least with Bluey they show their parents in mostly real situations, there is a newer one where Bandit is talking in the background about getting snipped. If you aren't paying attention you'd miss it.

I'm a basic bitch and think bubble guppies is good. Also at the end of the little OUTSIDE jingle, when the big fish goes GUPPPIEEEES, makes me laugh every time.

I never ever thought I would know the paw patrol theme song by heart, but my guy got a little fire truck for Christmas with a button that plays the song. And he loves mashing it.

I know many kids' toy songs by heart. PAW Patrol is indirectly credited with naming my family's Rockband 2 band - we had a Pup Pad toy that spoke in English and French, and one of Marshall's clips sounded like "Je suis doofla doofla!" So our RB2 name is Douffla Douffla.

My grandfather was a Holocaust survivor and we literally were given copies of Maus and Maus 2 as kids, although I think I was older than 6...maybe in second grade? It's rough and I didn't understand it really but I think it also got the point across a little bit.

Ok not a parent but is anyone else perpetually confused that Five Nights at Freddy's is apparently kid-safe? Because every time I read it I think of Freddy Krueger and get deeply concerned about what people are exposing their kids to.

My older one is 9 and he might be ready for that stuff soon. I develop and have worked on violent video games in the past and enjoy shows like Metalocalypse so I'm not squeamish about those things. My 9 year old came home from school wanting to watch Squid Game because some kids at school got to watch it. Hell no. They're also not allowed on youtube unsupervised. I've been on the internet way too long to know unfettered internet access to a young kid is a bad idea. Xand_Man posted:No it'd just be a continual annoyance We used to take our oldest on a mile walk before taking him to daycare at that age to get the energy out of him. I know this isn't always possible for everyone. Don't feel bad about getting them into therapy as soon as they're old enough. Our kid's therapist is helping him with coping strategies for when his emotions get the better of him and ways to deal with impulse issues.

That reminds me that Elsagate adjacent poo poo hasn't disappeared from Youtube and is surprisingly difficult to suppress or even report once the algorithm locks onto you.

I can't recall how much of that was hysteria a la Momo and how much of it was depraved poo poo. But yeah I too was broken by unfettered access to the early internet at a young age which has made me hypervigilant for my kids.

I found Elsagate fascinating. It wasn't depraved poo poo so much as it was the uncritically reflected subconscious of a small child. So shots, pregnancy and death pair got blended up with shapes, numbers and colors. Kinda reminds me of improv exercises where you 'transcribe' the contents of an imaginary book. You get a similar sort of aphasic weirdness.

Today my 16 year old called me in a panic from his school's parking lot. He was parked in his car, and was having two crises at once. First, he was having a "big popped pimple emergency." Said he couldn't find any tissues in the car, so he used a Windex wipe on his face and it was really stinging and he didn't know what to do. Second, he forgot to fill up the gas tank and the car wouldn't start because it was on empty. I reminded him that a) we have a first aid kit in the car trunk and b) the nurses at the school health center would be very happy to help him out. We brought a can of gas to his school so he could get home. That was about 7 hours ago and I'm still laughing.

A few months back I bought my daughter a pair of space themed booties, but I thought one of them was lost to the dryer gods on its very first wash. Well, it just turned up in a sleep sack that we don't use often. So I've got that going for me.

My 2-year-old’s head smells funny. He’s been bathed and shampooed and there’s no fungus or dandruff/cradle cap that I can tell. It’s just… weirdly malodorous. Can’t really describe it and don’t really know that “weird smell” necessitates a doctor’s visit. I think it’s mainly in one spot, close to his ear. Could I be smelling another ear infection? E: gently caress, I think it is his ear. But he doesn’t have pain or fever or discharge or any other symptoms boquiabierta fucked around with this message at 08:29 on Mar 2, 2022 |

22 month old discovered his nipples. Like, not in general. But very specifically he plays with them between his bedtime diaper change and pajamas. He does this by grabbing hold and just pulling as far as they'll go... often both at the same time, and often just idly while just wandering around, so he's pulling on his nipples and walking around... Not looking for advice it's just... very strange. And I don't know how he's not screaming in agony, because it looks painful. Not leaving any marks, just... why, dude?

Babies/toddlers grabbing hold of bits of their anatomy and yanking until you're sure they'll come off is a theme I think. The ogre toddler's previous habits during diaper changes would leave me wincing.

DaveSauce posted:22 month old discovered his nipples. Oh, hi me from a year and a bit ago. If he's anything like my kid, he'll stop once he realizes he can do the same thing with his penis. Especially once potty trained with no diaper in the way. The phrase "please stop touching your penis" just rolls off my tongue now.

She thought she was about to get tackle hugged. Instead, part way there he basically went "Oh hey what's this?" and just went to town on himself.

Yesterday afternoon, our daughter turned around put her butt on me and pretended to fart. I don't know where she learns such things.  My wife put her to bed last night and came into our bathroom to get ready for the night. While she was in there, I thought I heard our daughter's door open and shut, it was extremely quiet. I didn't hear any walking or anything so when my wife came out, I said check to see if her door is open. She was sitting right outside her door like a loving ghost and/or creepy demon. My wife about pooped her pants.

Our daughter's done the "i'm going to stand next to the bed while you sleep staring until you wake up thing" and it's loving unnerving as hell. And i think fart jokes are genetically hard-wired into us.

Currently recovering from the little unicorn sticky note my daughter passed to my wife and me. Written completely unprompted, after a day full of fun and an evening with my folks over. It says "i heyt my DAD". She said that she meant her *other* dad and not me. Our soon to be ex therapist has already told us that she has fun over at horsehumper's house so she's clearly doing this for our benefit. Obviously. All just an act.

My 7 year old is a wonderful kid a lot of the time. Though as far as comedy and fart jokes she lets em rip, metaphorically and literally. Sometimes however, she goes hard rebel mode and hates any hits to her pride and gets stubborn about learning anything ("I already knew that"), especially things she doesn't already know. I'm trying to help her realize how to be more humble but feel like she's just a stubborn kid the same way I was. Anyone have book recommendations to help a stubborn kid, assuming that'd even what it is? I'm glad she's strong willed but I don't want her to miss out on opportunities from it.
