Hovercraft posted:my sister has "irish twins" that are 11 months apart my sister in law thought she couldn't get pregnant, not because of anything a doctor said but because she was stupid so of course she had a lil accident. 5 months in is when they found out she was having twins. like 3 months after giving birth she got pregnant again because she didn't know you were super fertile right after giving birth so they had 3 kids within a year. the kids are great but looking at the parents after 7 years I do not envy them and think I'll stick with one. I got a vasectomy 3 months after mine was born just to be sure

President Beep posted:any parents out there have any pearls of wisdom they’d care to share wrt teaching a kid how to ride a bicycle? our soon-to-be eight year old tends to be an anxious kid (chip off the old block) and attempts to teach him in the past have ended poorly. 8YO is *REALLY OLD* to be starting bike training IMO. We taught our first at 2,5 and second at 3,5. ABSOLUTELY NO loving "TRAINING" WHEELS.

That was 20y ago, though, so  my thinking is that the electric would survive being dropped by a kid with adhd and poor impulse control. also headphones.rando guitar seo blogs and dead guitar forums seem pretty split as well. so I’m interested in hearing the why.

I mean I had both, and because I played in church I’ve spent countless days playing chords, and I love acoustic guitar, nothing really compares to what a person who can sing and play acoustic can do but you can teach a kid smoke on the water in a few minutes and .. the rest is usually history

also and this is worthwhile noting, cheaper acoustics can often be very difficult to play, the strings can be super hard, and electrics, even poo poo ones, are usually way easier to play get the 3/4

i learnt saxophone for a while when I was young. gave it up because I didn't practise enough, for one because i am lazy idiot but also because when i did practise i would get a free accompaniment of 'whats that noise' 'its so loud' etc. i see a lot of value in quiet instruments

I'm late to bike teaching chat but what worked for my 8yo (we too were late with a super anxious kid) was a two wheel scooter (vs the three he had previously) and going for a scooter every day until he got confident with balance that came naturally.

that’s cool. we’ve had him on a scooter for a while now and it’s gone well. it’s encouraging to know that it helped your kid make the transition. there’s a used bike shop here in town and I’m hoping to take our son there on Wednesday to pick something out.
