Bright Bart posted:What's actually weird is what I hear from teachers which is that they see more and more children in kindergarten and occasionally in the first grade who are still needing diaper changes. That's for children without officially noted delays and apparently that very rarely happened in the past. I did a bunch of reading about this and it's easier to train a baby as soon as they can walk rather than wait until after two. My son was poo-trained in a week at 15 months, then fully nap trained around 2 (no more drips just before waking up, never a full bed), and then woke up completely dry in the morning at 2 years 4 months and never reverted. It's an American thing to let kids get to first grade still making GBS threads themselves and it's gross and unnecessary.

I have read/heard that the switch from cloth to disposable diapers has made babies less aware of when they pee. The bottom doesn't get cold and wet, so you don't have an "I just peed" signal starting in infancy. Thus less awareness of body signals, thus harder to recognize "I need to/am about to pee/poop."

I wonder if that celebrity actually bathed in the water she sold. Or just ran a bath with body wash or had her assistant do it and sold that mixture because the thought of nerds touching themselves while sniffing her dirt & grime repulsed her. If you act in porn you can't exactly pretend the viewer isn't being intimate with themselves while watching you on screen. And faking used underwear requires some effort (plus underwear itself isn't free or nearly free). But bath water?

AITA for dying my hair in a way that upset my stepmom and refusing to dye it to a different color?quote:Hi, so I (17non-binary) live 50/50 with my mom and my dad/stepmom. I recently asked my stepmom to drive me to the drug store to buy hair dye (I don’t have a license). She said yes and when we got there I picked out some silver hair dye. She got a sour look on her face and tried to convince me to go with any other color, but I said no because I wanted silver.

Pomme de Terror posted:AITA for dying my hair in a way that upset my stepmom and refusing to dye it to a different color? There is the off chance OP really was making fun of old people and stepmom knows the kid well enough to be certain of this. Even so the cool old people who don't deserve to be mocked wouldn't take silver hair dye as a personal snub and if OP let them know explicitly they would just laugh along with (or at) them. Maybe OP was doing it to mock stepmom in particular. But then she should be the adult in the situation and reaction proportionately. If the intention wasn't mockery but stepmom is just sensitive, well... I'm no expert on parenting but it seems like parents shouldn't limit their kids' self-expression due to their own insecurities. If a parent forbid their kid from taking up piano because they used to be a beautiful player themselves until they got arthritis it'd be ridiculous.

AITA For Not Allowing Alcohol at my Wedding?quote:I (25F) am getting married May of next year. I’m currently planning the reception and I have already secured a venue. I was having a discussion with my fiancé (27F) about possible food options (catering or cooking, what types of food, buffet style or served, etc.) and my mother (60F) and one of my aunts (56F) were visiting. They threw in some thoughts and advice, as they’ve had weddings, which I really appreciate. The topic of drinking came up, and my aunt asked what kind of cocktails we’d be serving. I told her we wouldn’t be serving alcohol at the wedding. She was shocked and asked what everyone was going to drink. I told her there would be water, sweet tea, lemonade, fruit-punch, and soda available.

Ghost Leviathan posted:A lot of people apparently just became feral during covid. Parents of young kids were really really hosed over during the initial response to Covid in the US. Daycares either closed or enacted extremely strict restrictions on attendance such as "negative PCR test or 10 days absence for any fever, cough, or other signs of respiratory illness" (which with how often kids in daycare get colds and runny noses is effectively "three days of daycare, maybe, then two weeks home, repeat"). Places for socialization/play were closed and events at places like the library were canceled. If you are lucky you can WFH but good loving luck being productive with a kid <5 in the house. Can't have grandparents help since they might die. One near-constant in human history has been some amount of communal child raising and two parents, kids, and nobody else basically never happened except for extreme situations. Turns out there's a drat good reason for that!

My wife and I both WFH’d during the pandemic and our kids were doing the Lord of the Flies thing. It was a loving mess and one of the worst periods of my entire life and I was in a literal war in the aughts. That being said, yea developmental differences mean sometimes a kid is making GBS threads their britches til late 2’s/early 3’s and goddamn is it nasty. But there’s a point where you can just potty train them too. I have never heard of a kindergartner still using diapers and you can put aside any external factors (special needs is a different story) besides the parents in that case. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s some kinda stupid Facebook poo poo if it’s actually happening. Edit: I also don’t think it’s true tbh. You can’t even get kids into older preschool classes at my daycare unless they’re potty trained. There is no way a public school administration is having teachers change kids diapers. And a kid constantly going in a diaper would not escape the notice of their peers. i am a moron fucked around with this message at 12:35 on Jun 15, 2023 |

There was a tangible shift. All I know is from folks in my friend group who are also manbabies like myself and nowhere near marriage or kids. People just act differently now, it's in so many different ways that it's noticeable but probably not really worth mentioning. Would've hated to have raised kids in that situation. Heard 'sorry' more on Zoom calls from frazzled parent-colleagues than in the many many years preceding that.

"two parents, kids, and nobody else" -subject "basically never happened" - predicate "except for extreme situations." - modifier I was saying that the situation during Covid was extremely unusual historically. It was the sort of thing that only happened when it couldn't be avoided, like when a single family was the last remaining people at a remote settlement.

Why we decided a second child was a smart idea in 2021, that I cannot explain. Daycare during COVID was only possible because my wife was WFH and I could take the older child into my office when I wasn't traveling. There were times the entire classroom was closed due to teachers being sick, and many other stupid scenarios that made it so difficult. And now we're paying 660 bucks a week for the privilege. At least until the end of August, when my oldest starts public school.

I've seen it happen in high school. Sometimes the roll of the dice is just part of the fun. And yeah, the nuclear family we've been told is an eternal constant of humanity is literally just an invention of the 50s, and like many things of that type not something that stands up to reality outside the most favourable circumstances possible. It also became clear to the point of openly admitted that the purpose of public schools is to warehouse children while their parents work. With a side of teaching them to work factory jobs that no longer exist.

i am a moron posted:
loving lol if you think that public k-12 schools in the US are allowed to turn students away for not being potty trained or that teachers aren't changing diapers for the ones who aren't able to change themselves. It mostly occurs in the under 2nd grade years, though it can happen after, too. After early elementary school, it's more likely to be teachers aides/paraprofessionals or clinic staff handling that if the student can't change themselves, unless the student is in a largely self-contained special education program, in which case the teacher themselves is just as likely to be elbow deep in diapers regardless of the age of the students. No, the school is not going to care about anything other than there being medical documentation that the student is not yet potty trained, and then they will make arrangements to support the student's medical needs while at school. Yes, not sitting in your own waste will qualify as a medical need and no, it is not generally considered as so beyond the pale that the teacher or other regular classroom staff won't be asked to deal with it themselves in many circumstances. Also yes, the other students will totally notice the diaper wearing and it may or may not make much of an impact on how they are treated, depending on where on the Lord of the Flies scale that the school's culture falls and if the rest of the kids generally like the non-potty trained kid or not for other reasons. Daycares are private businesses, not public schools, and do not have to follow all of the same laws about what they have to allow.

Top comments were all typical ledditor "NTA, finders keepers she shoulda thought about it when she was a dumb teenager who didn't appreciate mortality." Further down thread OP was arguing with people telling him YTA for prioritizing a piece of clothing over a woman's grieving, and said that his feeling of loss over this coat he apparently hasn't ever taken off is greater than her loss of her grandfather. Was bullied until he admitted that he really just didn't want to lose a cool jacket and isn't that sentimental about this one specifically, threw poo poo everywhere, and nuked his account.

My friend teaches Primary One (so children aged 5) here in the UK, and over the Covid period has noticed a massive shift in how prepared the kids are to come to school. Mums taking their dummies/pacifiers off them at the school gates, dads pushing their 5 year olds in buggies/pushchairs because the kid doesn't like to walk far. 5 year olds who have almost never interacted with another kid and have no idea how to share or play together. Kids not toilet trained, kids who don't know how to use cutlery and lack even the manual dexterity to hold a crayon or pencil because they've never been given them, they've just been provided with a tablet to watch. Kids who still speak in toddler-gibberish because their mum thinks its' cute and they've not had any interaction with other kids or adults that would guide them into speaking in a more understandable fashion. Covid-babies, I feel for everyone concerned, especially their teachers. She is 100% sure that it's a timebomb waiting to explode horribly in their teenage years in a decades time.
