Been watching Elmo's World clips with my kid and sometimes the ones on YouTube are the segments from the early 2000s and holy poo poo do I finally get why some people hated Elmo. Those older segments just come across as pure loving chaos at times and just straight up noisy, but the newer versions have a clearer format with the little Smartie phone actually explaining some idea/theme and a game/Mr. Noodle segment to tie into it without being migraine-inducing

Yeah, my wife and her friend were having a video chat and the friend's oldest son (around 4 I think) came up, hopped in her lap, looked at her and said "I'm going to kill you!" and started laughing.

parenting kicks rear end, last night my kid partly took his diaper off and then took a massive poo poo. i was so happy that he slept all night without waking up too, but then when i got him up he was absolutely covered in poo poo. pants and shirt are a total loss, not really sure if the bedsheets are salvageable lol. feels like i had to use a whole pack of wipes to clean him up. he's in a good mood this morning at least.

Times like that call for tossing them in the bath.

Haven't had it with poop but similar "dear God what happened in here??" with vomit

lol I don't miss this stuff, although it never grossed me out at the time.

Both my kids started an after school karate program with a half dozen of their friends yesterday and I'm so psyched for them, I hope they like it.

only time I've been grossed out was when my kiddo did the same with a poo poo diaper

then he smeared it on the wall

result was backwards PJs until potty training, which he's doing well at

My son had diarrhea and had poo poo up and down his legs at about 2 years old. So I was trying to change him, but of course it was itchy as hell so he put his hand in the poo poo and I screamed out "NO!", which made him cry, so he put his poo poo-covered hand in his mouth to soothe himself. Should've put him in the shower sooner.

hahahahahaha jesus

I'm glad that so far the only poop incidents I've had to deal with were scattered turd nuggets appearing in her bed overnight, and her ditching her diaper and pooping on the floor while I was taking the dog out to go potty one time

drat, kid just got her first cold (just sniffles, covid test was negative). Made it a little over 3 years without getting sick once! I'm pretty impressed. Probably 80% quarantine/careful socialization, 20% My strong immune system (i only ever got a cold every 2-3 years pre-covid)

There are a bunch of minor colds one wants them to get early or they are much worse to if they get them later or that missing them makes getting something else later worse.

I hate covid so much.

Our oldest is also sick. It was the first week of preschool so I expected this. I still sort of feel guilty about the unlimited screen time they get when they're sick, but that's just how it is.

The more you kick against the pricks, the more you suffer.
Four year old brought home a non-Covid bug that gave her a light cough, either missed or did nothing to me, and absolutely leveled my spouse. I'm real curious to see what three plus years of hypervigilance and luck has done to broad immunity.

when your kid is sick it's like survival mode for all parties, you gotta do what you gotta do to get through it. a few weeks ago my kid had a bad throat infection and had to stay out of daycare for like a week, we probably watched every episode of daniel tiger multiple times lol.

Kind of the opposite of bedshitting, but any advice on getting a newborn to poop?

Our five week old preemie is on day 3 of no poops and she spends most of her free time with her new hobby: straining visibly and loudly. Bicycle kicks get farts out, but no turds.

Try rubbing her tummy in a clockwise motion pushing a bit firmly but obviously not too hard. That's what a nurse told us to do with our premie

Oh absolutely, and I am glad your child is feeling better! So far it isn't covid, so I'm thankful for that. Blaze and the Monster Machines is WAY better than paw patrol or cocomelon so it's not all bad.

honestly whatever my kid had was worse than covid was for him lol, he caught it at daycare and spread it to my household a few months ago, he had the sniffles for like two days and that was it. only way we knew it was covid is because it knocked my wife on her rear end, so she took a test and it was positive. son and i also tested positive but he was fine and i was also fine, thankfully. guess those vaccines work!

I remember it being actual vomit but I wasn't there myself, she probably made the whole thing up as a cover-up actually.

beside rubbing, prune, pear, or apple juice for sorbitol.

three days is approaching “call pediatrician's office for advice” territory, though. they might tell you to try a suppository. if she seems to be in pain (crying while straining + pulling legs toward abdomen, for example), couldn't hurt to call this evening and get that advice.

hydration all good? also call sooner rather than later if you’re not getting wet diapers.

three days is maybe worrisome for an older kid, but newborns can go for a while without pooping and it’s totally fine as long as they are hydrated and peeing.

we always mixed a few spoonfuls of prune juice into breastmilk, and if that didn’t work, we tried again the next day.

oh, yeah, it's not 'be worried' territory. didn't mean to imply that.

having a game plan for things like that can be nice, though--you're so frazzled by the newborn experience that running out on a sunday to find glycerin suppositories or whatever might be stressful.

Having 1 kid feels like having 0 kids, having 2 feels like having 2, having 3 feels like having 10.
