It's too advanced for a 10 year old without help, but no 9/11discussion is complete without Osama bin Ladin's Declaration of War against Saudi Arabia/the U.S. Weirdly enough, hating freedom(s) is not one of his reasons for attacking the U.S..

my sister told me today that her son, 3 years old, got a positive covid test. it was pretty much a mild cold worth of symptoms for a couple days and he was perfectly fine afterwards, but the daycare made him get tested which is also the exact same thing my daughter had a few months ago, only it was over the weekend so she didn't even cough up her entire daycare, or it could have just been an actual mild cold, which is what we all assumed it was at the time

My 5yo was excited to see Purple Moonflowers in the yard. I asked her where she learned that name.  "Daddy, I learn everything from TV!"So pandemic homeschooling is going well.

ugh, gonna have to give my dad and his wife a call later regarding putting photos of the baby on social media we have been adamant from the beginning that we don't want pictures posted publicly on facebook or really any one else's networks. We've said repeatedly that if the little one has any online footprint it will be private, hidden and viewable only by a very small number of people* and to not repost them on public-facing platforms My wife and I go on Facebook maybe a few times a year at this point and my wife saw that my dad and his wife have not only been putting up tons of pictures of the baby on their public profiles, but they've also been uploading pictures we've sent to them directly - something we have said in the past (several times) is to remain private and are meant for them and only them I know they're proud and want to share their grandkid with people but gently caress me man, i dont get this boomer poo poo of just not paying attention to or respecting a very basic request like this *i get how privacy works on a lot of these networks, but still, you get the idea

I agree. what we’ve done(which not everyone can do) was since we all have iOS devices I created a private photo share and that has been sufficient. however for non iPhone users it can be a bit of a problem . guessing there are similar services however you still have to program the Facebook people to not loving automatically post the pictures I swear it’s like an eternal hs reunion to these people

My in laws are absolutely terrible about posting on facebook pictures that they are sent via email or text message no matter how many times they are told that if we wanted the picture shared online we would have posted it online. And we don't even have the kid yet (T minus three days)

I'm really glad both my mom and my in laws have managed to respect our request not to put the kid anywhere public. What we have done is create a private Google album for pictures. It works quite well, and while Google obviously has full access to knowing he loves ice cream and rocks, none of his peers will ever gain access to it. That's good enough for me, and easy to manage even for our boomers. Have you tried telling them that you won't send pictures if they put them online? And knocked the camera out of their hands? Probably gonna escalate the conflict, but it seems worth it?

my favorite one was when my first child was born and I texted my dad to to tell him about it and ten minutes later he posted a status update with me tagged in it announcing the birth of my son and his height and weight. like we were still at the drat hospital.

we drew the line with no posted videos and at least having to ask before taking a picture (and loving respecting the response)

my dad recently realized that he only joined Facebook to interact with his kids but none of us use it anymore and he's like "What am I even doing on here?" and I'm like "posting ooh-rah usmc memes and weird right wing poo poo?" I wish I'd never told him how to sign up.

When she's old enough I'm going to teach her some basic karate for self-defense and to get her used to the movements, then we'll probably all take some BJJ as a family to learn how to fight better. I'm also gonna teach her piano if she's interested (she probably will be, she loves music and already has her own little drum kit  )

Which drum kit? My 6yo has been clamoring for drums but found actual, real drums in a used music shop "too loud and scary".

Good soup! posted:ugh, gonna have to give my dad and his wife a call later regarding putting photos of the baby on social media Dunno if this is helpful, but my wife and I use the Family Album app which lets you restrict who has access to the photos. It's helpful with the boomer relatives crowd they can still comment on every upload and receive "I know! So CUTE!" responses ala Facebook, but only people you personally invite have access. Between the two of us we have enough family and close friends to hit critical mass and create enough activity that no one's felt the need to post anything publicly. It kind of spams you with ads to buy prints of the stuff you upload, but otherwise it's been pretty good.

In order to keep working out once my oldest stopped napping I started incorporating her into my workouts and put her in charge of my chalk. Plus she loved trying out the movements and in a few years I will buy her a kids bar. The highlight for me was she wanted a bottle of ammonia since I use it so I took an empty one and filled it with beans and she will shake it and sniff it and then pretend she got a hit of it.

My kid just turned 2 and has been very quiet for the most part. She spoke her first words a while ago, like around 15-16 months (mama & dada), but for the most part she's just said them like 2 or 3 times apiece and otherwise communicates nonverbally, either pointing at things or taking our hands and leading us to the location of whatever it is she wants at the time (snacks, pick-up, a toy she wants to play with together). We know she knows the words and understands a lot of stuff, but for whatever reason she just doesn't feel like actually saying anything. Today she decided to climb into my lap for one of my work meetings. I put the headset on her, and as soon as I did she waved at my coworkers and said a very clear "Hi." Then she greeted her grandma with a "Hi." and when she left with grandma she gave us kisses and waved and said a very clear "Bye."  oh boy here we go, soon it's going to be nonstop questions and I can't wait lol

my kid is 16 months old and has been babbling for like at least six months, but still hasn't said his first word yet. he understands a lot, like a few days ago i was reading him a book that had the word caterpillar in it, and when i said that he walked over and grabbed the very hungry caterpillar and brought it to me to read it... which i think is pretty impressive for a toddler? anyway, i hope he talks soon, we're starting to get worried (but the doctor says not to worry until 18 months).

Mustached Demon posted:some kids just take everything in then explode in a fury of words seemingly overnight Yeah, it's been a while since I took my developmental psych classes but there's broadly 3 types of language development. One of the types does p much exactly this. And you probably only need to start being concerned after 24 months, based on what my doc said (I was starting to get concerned around 18mo)
