yeah if you're lucky the kid will just have croup once in daycare. Loved driving to the ER at 1am in snow to get relief for croup. do kids who stay at home until grade school just catch up with a poo poo load of illnesses first year in school? I figured daycare put my kid through immune system training.

Because of the timing with Covid, our youngest was never in any sort of childcare. From birth till toddler, they were never sick. That is until they started daycare this past September. Colds colds colds, all the fuckin colds. The little one is just doing a fuckin speed run it sucks rear end.

i love it when my kid says something hilarious and then I hate it when I later figure out he's literally just repeating a line from a Netflix cartoon. even worse when he and his brother conspire to recreate entire snippets of repartee that are whole cloth stolen from some show. god dammit.

Thanks for the advice regarding my son's anemia. The blood test didn't show anything too scary so he's eating iron supplements until the next blood test. He seems to like it, it's chocolate flavored.

Yeah, it's kind of impressive when they go off and recite 2 minutes of monologue about dinosaurs perfectly though. The pro move is to get them hooked on something classic. My ex and her family would do the same thing with Shakespeare, and that seemed sophisticated.

TIL if my 2yo is trying to pitch a bullshit tantrum because she doesn't like that i said no to something, i can just mock her crying to her face and go WAHHH WAHHH and laugh, and she thinks it's hilarious. Instant mood change! Dunno if this would work with any other kids or if it's just cuz it's my kid In this case she was mad because i told her she couldn't climb and stand on the coffee table, because I'm a tyrant

I thought you already had kiddos! Best of luck fwiw the 2 weeks before my first was born I was a completely manic blubbering mess. So much stress and uncertainty were coursing through my veins. I also remember my wife asking me things like, 'if we get in a car accident in the middle of nowhere and I'm pinned in the car from the waist down, I want you promise you'll cut the baby out of my stomach even if it kills me. Promise me!' It's kind of normal I think, so try and enjoy the ride! I'll be thinking about you fellow poster and family! I'm really happy for you its an amazing journey.

we bought bulbs that removed blue lights for when we had to wake up at night and feed the baby. made middle of the night feeding a lot better and baby wasn’t blinded too.

we've just had a steady nightlight situation everywhere in our house since we had kids. as they started walking and waking up at night we just put them all over. i like the subtle green glow ones that look like an old timex watch glow.

Pro newborn tip: you and your partner each take on a task for night time stuff. Like if one feeds, the other burps/changes diaper.

What's the proper response when your 3 year old is playing on the playground and another kid comes up to her and tells her "You don't need that mask, covid isn't real"? I wasn't sure how to get out of that one without starting a fistfight in front of my kid with the other kid's parents, so we just had to leave.

spicy doesn’t necessarily mean spicy hot. my kids slam Creole seasoning on everything. but we still get “this is too spicy”. it mean there is too much of a particular taste, not just hot. this is too spicy = this has too many parsnips yesterday.

We were watching Survivor tonight and there's an all African American alliance and they were talking about about how hard 2020 was, so we paused the show and had a long talk with our kids (10 + 7 and we're white canadians) about George Floyd and Black Lives Matter. I'm a bit emotional about it still, but it was really good. It was an easy talk tbh because they have biracial cousins so they understood the anger of 'what if someone treated those cousins badly because of their skin color,' but the racist police part blew their poor innocent minds.
