Son peed on the big blanket so after work I took him and the blanket to the Laundromat. Had so much fun watching the thing spin and putting magic coins in the washing machine that I'm kinda glad he peed on that blanket. Perfect day for Laundromat park combo evening.

I let our strong reading six-year-old give the opening of Earthbound a try and she loved it. Fighting the Onett cops was a good seed to bury, I think. The cops are bad guys in the game!? Yah...in the game.Now I gotta speed run it while she's sleeping to make sure there aren't any inappropriate landmines I don't remember/don't see coming. Other than bashing animals with a bat until they turn tame of course.

A kid in a video my 4yo was watching was flossing, so I (always looking for opportunities to encourage her to try things she seems interested in) got up and was like "they're dancing, it's called flossing, you can do it too, like this!" and started flossing She started laughing, went "Game over!" and stopped the video, and kept laughing I think i just gave my kid her first cringe

Playing trains with my son he keeps referring to something as "e-mail". I'm not sure what that could be toddler slur for, but we're filling all of the open top train cars with "e-mails" to go to the next station.

Younger kid, after getting upset about something, anything: "I HATE YOU!" *3 seconds pass* "No I LOVE you!" They can't commit to the spite yet.

Baby just turned 1, meaning that before this spring the last time there was acceptable weather outside he was basically a newborn. Wife took him to a farm with animals today and he is apparently completely floored by the concept of ducks. Saw one and had to sit down and just stare at it, taking it in

also on the concept of short child memories, we found out that it had apparently been a while since we had tater tots when my wife made some last night and the three-year-old claimed to have no memory or concept of them and guessed that she probably doesn't like them Toddler brains are weird

We have entered the birthday party era. Is the presents thing new? The Present Table is obscene. A recent episode of sesame street had a birthday party primer, and emphasized the etiquette of bringing a large flamboyantly wrapped package. Gonna get outed to my kid as a miserly misanthrope sooner than I thought

you can just say "no presents please" on the invite and hope people read it. you can also just donate the gifts.

People give things to kids, it happens. Most of the stuff is p disposable. Ive gotten drum set for my toddler, the hell does a toddler need a floor tom? I have no reservations on hucking that to the back of the garage. Parenting is inherently fascistic. If the thing is disposable, then I just let them have the thing. Cultural contamination isn't a real thing.

gently caress me do I hate kids presents. It's like we are in a mutually abusive relationship with every other parent. I have tried so hard to prevent people buying my kid stuff but it just doesn't work. I have told them "I am well off and they have everything they want/needs" nope. I tell them "don't worry I will still buy your kid a present" - nope. I have told them that I would get a big joint present so my kid feels like your kids have gotten them something - nope. It's so loving stupid. My house isn't big enough for all these toys, their houses aren't big enough. Why are we wasting £100s a year to annoy he poo poo out of each other? gently caress. I do have one last idea which is some sort of charity donation on my kids behalf. If that doesn't work I am out of ideas apart from a bin at the front door.

I'm going to try and stick to family birthday celebrations or, barring that, small celebrations with close friends for my son as long as possible. There's just so much wierd jockeying and showboating in the whole giant kids birthday party thing and I feel like they inevitably pick up on that part of it no matter how much it's coated in cake and presents
