It's true, The Economy would benefit greatly from no one having kids.

No, I will not think about what that would mean in 40 years, number is now.

Thanks! My wife got mad enough at her dad over text that his wife finally tested and is negative which apparently only reinforced her belief that she shouldn't have had to do it in the first place, and she sent a whole angry rant to my wife over it. Lovely

update: she is now symptomatic and testing positive LMAO

My daughter is getting tubes and adenoids removed this morning and the hospital just gave me a bill for $6k after insurance. The loving anesthesiologist is charging $10k which is more than my wife was charged for her epidural when our daughter was born.

we do Christmas with her mom's family, which WOULD mean that this doesn't screw up Christmas, except that apparently he also managed to give it to her sister on this visit, so Christmas might be at least a little hosed even if we continue testing negative

Agh, that would drive me insane. Reduce WHAT viral load? It's not a shared pool.

Probably she is just enjoying spending time away from your dad lol.

This has been the case in Canada since September I think? If you can't find Childrens Tylenol or whatever do what I did and hit up every convenience store you can find. They often have stock.

My older kid got into Minecraft recently and now it's a constant subject of conversation along with reading Minecraft-themed books and graphic novels to the exclusion of all else. I knew we should have lied about the existence of video games until they were 18.

Just wait until some kid at school tells them about Roblox and you get to spend a bunch of time telling them why you won't let them play Roblox even though it's free and then you get to explain what "free to play" actually means and it's all bad.

I only just realized that my kids have been hitting the "Like" button on a bunch of minecraft streamers under my YT account so I imagine everything in that account is hosed now.

Agree. YouTube and TikTok are brainworms for kids.

Minecraft is a lot better than being obsessed with anime at least but it’s still toxic.

Probably the best parenting move we made recently was install the "Unhook" browser extension and have it disable 95% of Youtube features. Now when the page loads it only shows videos from subscribed channels, everything else like the search bar and video recommendations don't appear. Even as an adult it's a big improvement to the site, esp as before installing it the algorithm had apparently decided I wanted to see lots and lots of UFC video recommendations.

Minecraft has admittedly been very useful as an incentive to get the kid to do their homework+music practice etc etc but it becoming their primary interest has been a bummer. Before we were using other educational games as the incentive and we thought Minecraft would be another good option, but the impact has been much different.

Definitely would have been watching streamers to see how to get Mario into minus land had that been an option back then, not claiming any moral high ground here.

In 15 years I'll walk into my son's astral shrine where he communes with the spirits. Dust collecting on my own childhood tarot cards. I gifted those to him when I realized he had the gift before sending him to goth school. He tells me that's not how they foretell the future anymore. He tells me there's a 13th zodiac now, with a possibility of a 14th. I just can't relate

newer blippi isn't as bad as the early stuff but wow that shits like crack to a toddler, it's lifeless garbage

we scheduled to be induced next week so if they're not out by then they're getting kicked out. Baby A has slotted into position so it's looking like a vaginal twin delivery.

it'd be embarrassing to not know about the Blippi Harlem Shake Diarrheas video on the playground.

no, I dont think my 2 year old is going to find the video on the internet of blippi blowing hot poo poo all over another mans taint, but are the structures which govern our world so illusory that I even need to consider that? they sell dolls of this guy in the toy shop here in rural ireland. he's at like the top of nexflix.
