You'd really think ~~THE FREE MARKET~~ would have addressed this by now by subsidizing employee childcare like they did with healthcare, because they benefit if new parents keep working for them instead of quitting because they can't afford daycare This would obviously also suck for the same reason employer-provided insurance sucks, it's just weird to me that there hasn't been an attempt at it yet

yeah i've worked at two companies that had on-site childcare a friend of mine works for a community college that offers low-cost childcare to students, which is cool, but not to employees, which is less cool

in my experience theres gotta be like a scam going where your pediatrician goes "oh yeah idk about this baby's neck looks a little crooked, let me refer you to a physical therapist for evaluation" to get a little kickback even though the kid is fine. oh wait its called us healthcare and medical billing

My kid started having nightmares or night terrors in the last two weeks. Wow this succs lmao. Since he wakes up within an hour or two, I guess it must be night terrors since he hasnt hit REM yet. anyone experienced this? having a hard time finding useful info on anything since the web is inundated with dumb content aggregated bullshit these days. we’ll be reaching out to his pediatrician but i figured id ask here.

I get those and one of my two kids does too. for me the night terrors go dreaming dreaming dreaming, feeling of being followed, feeling of being surrounded with no way out, scream and wake up. usually it’s not hard to just go back to sleep afterwards. my wife catches them before I wake up most of the time and just wakes me before I pop. they bother my little guy though when he has them. he’s upset for quite a while afterwards. it’s getting better as he gets older and he knows it just dreams now.

loquacius posted:If you have a young child, for many people the choice between a single-income and dual-income household is wholly aesthetic, because the parent that earns less will be making about as much money, total, as it costs to get the childcare necessary for a dual-income household. This is actually considered an intended policy outcome for conservatives because they know that the parent who earns less is usually the woman and so it's an economic bludgeon to restore the Natural Order back into the Family.

I posted in here before about it, but my dad and his wife sure do love ignoring our request to keep our daughter's social media presence as private as possible. We only have a walled off Instagram account that has every privacy option strictly controlled, and we know there are situations where she is going to end up in pictures out there no matter what. However, my dad's Facebook and Instagram are both completely open and public and he threw up yet another batch of photos from this weekend and I'm officially losing my patience I'm also a little bitter because it all comes across as ticking a box - look how great and awesome of a time we had! Only I spent half my time on my ipad betting on football and not interacting or playing with my granddaughter. We are happy to put photos they like on her page and text stuff to family members but this poo poo with ignoring a simple request is frustrating I have estranged family members who are loving crazy and weird and poo poo and I'd prefer them not ever seeing my daughter in any form

Calmly and rationally explain why posting it willy nilly is a bad thing and if it happens again don't let them take photos or send them photos you take. If they take em anyway tell em to gently caress off, no contact.

You can always report photos of your kid on social and have them taken down if you want to go nuclear too.

Yeah we don't need to go nuclear but I already messaged him about it and a reminder about why, if it happens again then there will be some serious discussions about respecting boundaries

a funny thing my kid has recently gotten into is: he really likes watching videos of babies at the beach and telling them not to eat sand. he gets so jacked up saying "no no no, no eat sand baby". weird little child. but at least he knows not to eat sand!

what I ended up doing to keep all the Facebook brained people in my family in line (it’s not just old people)is make a private photo share group using iCloud. however I understand not everyone is on an i device. is there something similar cross platform that is easy to use even for the non-tech minded?

We use Tinybeans, which basically is a private invite-only mini-social-media specifically for showing people pictures of kids without showing the whole world, and it has cross-platform and web interfaces too. My mom can use it so it must be pretty easy Won't stop grandma and grandpa from posting their own pictures wherever they please of course

I have a Google Photos album that we upload kidpics to. The grandmas love it because it gives them email updates when we post new things and they can comment on stuff. Doesn't really address the underlying issue with social media boundaries though because they can just grab the photos or take their own and throw them on their Facebook anyway. It does open the door to my favorite dumb boomer thing my MIL has done though: gifting us physical, printed photo books composed of low-res, screengrabbed versions of our own photos. Thanks...
