Started up a TTRPG for my family on our weekly pizza night using the Quest system which is pretty rules light and easy for newbies to understand (and me to plan out relatively speaking) Youngest got really into character creation and made what is essentially a paladin named Dookie Dan who has been transformed into a 8 foot tall toilet swinging around the arm of a statue he ripped off for reason to be determined later. Unfortunately once we started playing he got stage fright and needed a ton of help with the concept of just "literally just say what you want to do and I'll let you know if it is cool or not"

I was just about to start going all in on bringing D&D (not the subforum) into my home for my 5 year old to start getting into, but then they went and revamped the OGL to screw over Indy publishers so I guess my kid's gonna be a GURPS kid.

He has big beefy human arms and legs and wears a Nyan Cat bracer as he has sworn an oath of justice to Nyan Cat. He also has shark teeth, wears very sparkly armor, and uses what is essentially Mjolnir as a ranged weapon with the rule he can't use it for anything a normal bow and arrow couldn't do. The hammer is enscribed with the word "Hewwo!" His solution to his stage fright issue is that now Dookie Dan only makes flushing noises. Oh and Dookie Dan's main goal in life is to fix his transformation. He isn't supposed to be a giant sort of anachronistic toilet. His people have transcended humanity and have become pachimari from Overwatch. My kids don't know poo poo about Overwatch but they collected all the little stuffed onion octopus things when they went on clearance at game stop Vishass has issued a correction as of 04:45 on Jan 9, 2023 |

Roleplaying manuels are like textbooks for things that don't exist. Genuinely ok baby story time material. Just point at things and say their name:

I was foolish enough to think we were past sleep regressions but my 2.5-year-old has started waking up before dawn again and has by now learned that she has to yell for us specifically to get let out of the crib so she does it pretty much immediately

Remember to lower the volume.

Mine stopped screaming in the morning around 5-6 years old, but at dinner time when I say it's time to stop the screens and eat something they both immediately jog around the house looking for literally anything else to do that isn't getting dinner at a volume I'd call "conversation in a packed night club" level. The oldest is 12.

All the kids mixed with families over Christmas, picking up loads of infections, only to take them to daycare in the new year and swap them amongst themselves. It's only a matter of time before my kid brings some new fresh hell back with him

i read the dispossessed recently, the most utopian and greatest part of annares is how they eliminated almost all illness. what a joy it must be to live in that society where kids don't get sick. wowie.

My baby is teething and is consequently waking up every hour during the night. It also takes around 25 minutes to get her back to sleep, cause the first time I put her down she always wakes back up in less than 2 minutes

this is a fun time to inform you that whatever soothing technique you settle on to get them back to sleep will come back time and time again even when they're like 9. my son still asks for me to pat him on the back so he can fall asleep. if I do it, he's out in minutes.

my son is miraculously feeling better today, i am so relieved. still needs to stay home from daycare because he was running a fever last night but i am confident he can go back tomorrow. and he's so much easier to take care of when he isn't sick, he's happy and easygoing.

It also takes around 25 minutes to get her back to sleep, cause the first time I put her down she always wakes back up in less than 2 minutes I'm a little concerned our girl is getting some early teething pain because she's been like this lately too. Could just be the four month regression too I guess. Reading advice on it is hilarious as always because the terminology is laden with protestant judgment. Oh you're rocking your baby to sleep so you can get a semblance of rest? And you're letting her contact nap so she gets more than 30 minutes of sleep at a time? Congratulations on establishing negative sleep associations. You'll be lucky if your kid goes to college.
