I have a four year old who sometimes won't go to sleep until 11:00. sucks rear end
Mine was in this phase for a while because in daycare they would take naps in the afternoon, causing them to just not be tired until 10:30 at best. I ended up just giving up and when it was bedtime at 8pm, I'd just go to sleep along side them. I'd then wake from this power nap at around 9-10pm and would see that they're fast asleep. It threw off my night and sleep, but I then had some free time at night and there were no arguments or frustrations to be had.

edit, eventually they were out of daycare and no longer took naps, so they'd naturally be tired at 8-9ish.

zero sleep regressions in almost two years

after we got the kid onto a 730pm-630am schedule, it stuck

feels good

this is literally how she was right up until last week, it owned

the only solace is knowing it will end

gonna wish my kid good luck on graduating high school by taking out an ad in the yearbook that is a loss edit picturing her running through the hospital to an image of the school sitting on the bed at the end

it took us loving years to figure out sleep with our first child. eventually we realized we had different bedtime routines. once we synched that up it was sooooo much easier. for our second kid, they were in the same room and she just took to her older siblings schedule. 8pm to 7am for years. oldest is 9 now and they get up and do morning chores and get ready before we even get up

they're probably serial killers or something

our new little guy just hit 1 month and I'm really looking forward to this fascinating concept of a "sleep schedule"

Right now my wife is up nonstop cluster feeding and I'm up nonstop helping him through the subsequent cluster farting and boy I would like to sleep for more than two hours at a time

Sometimes my wife would pump enough so that she could get a full night's sleep while I did an all-nighter. We'd alternate those a few times a week. It felt amazing just getting 5-7 hours of sleep.

Anyways look forward to this,

Aww man that makes me want to move back to Richmond. Just across the James River there is an awesome train museum that we used to take my son to that he loved. He doesn't really like trains anymore though (it's all swords and minecraft and smash bros these days)

my first kid would not sleep for more than 2 hours at a time until she was like 16 months old, and we lived in a small 1 bedroom apartment so you couldn't escape the crying

everything after that has been smooth sailing by comparison tbh, even after adding 2 more kids to the mix

I was hanging out with my older brother last night and he has one kid. a two year old.

I invited him to the driving range and he said "oh I can't I have to watch [son] and [wife] can't do it solo."

they want to have a second one. it's the worst idea on the planet.

Someone gave my child a Christmas edition Big Mouth Billy Bass we found while we were cleaning out the garage and oh boy let me tell you, I will take any aforementioned terrible YouTube channel 24x7 straight to my brain than listen to one second of this demonic artifact. My only hope is to encourage the child to play with it so roughly that it breaks.

I'm pretty sure the design and construction of this device came from an ancient tome of unspeakable evil. No toy or video to date has managed to produce such a visceral reaction in me.

Join me in my pain.

I love pbs kids, but there is something, I don't know, lifeless? Just not as good? Between the CGI toons and the 2d stuff and if isn't just me being a curmudgeon about loving traditional (looking) cartoons for kids and poo poo. Both my wife and my brother alluded to the same thing after watching a block of shows and the getting to Ready Jet Go which I feel like I should like (I loving LOVE SCIENCE), but just has that lifeless wannabe DreamWorks vibe to it all and if prefer not to watch it

Which means I'm doomed to have a kid that loves it lol

the year or so of only watching pinkfong and lovely little angel videos are behind me now thank god. do not have grand parents expose your kids to shows because they don’t give a poo poo and you have to deal with the fall out for months.

So glad I've avoided that show. Kid went through an annoying pinkfong phase but we quickly got'em hooked on True, Starbeam, Story Bots, and other similar shows. Currently heavy on Wild Kratz and Peg + Cat.

Agree about the 3D PBS shows, they're just so empty feeling. Whereas True/Starbeam and others are much more lively and enjoyable.

I think you need to have cable or pay for something to get Paw Patrol because it's never even an option in anything we typically use.

I forbid the Paw Patrol cartoons but family keeps giving her the toys and I'm not a monster enough to take a toy away from her once she has it if it's not directly dangerous (obligatory "trusting the cops is suicide"), but I make sure she knows that Chase is a very bad doggie who is mean to the good and useful doggies like Rubble and Rocky. If Paw Patrol excluded the pigdog, I'd probably be fine with it, since firefighting and recycling and rescue operations are all good and fine things. In most situations in the show, Chase seems to only be useful at bossing everyone else around while taking the credit.

oh and for anyone with artistically inclined kids, we discovered (pre pandemic) that some of those "wine and art" studios do kids classes. My daughter did this at 7

we found this great Chinese American teacher who does art classes on zoom, right now they're working on the shuimo or freehand watercolor technique. She's the only white kid in the class lol

My three and a half year old had a meltdown because she saw me peeing and I had to tell her she wouldn't grow a penis. She is developing an amazing sense of humor though and it's fantastic to see it come out. We are not religious but my parents are and she was reciting a prayer and at the end she just yelled A POOP and started cackling like an insane person.
