We were playing Train of Thought, a question-answering game, and my 7yo answered the question "what two things would you take if the house was on fire" with "a water bottle and snacks for while I wait for the firefighters."

Instead of some sort of financial reward for going above and beyond, put an "employee of the month" certificate under the pillow

I dont remember doing that but they are there. I did go and check today and it turns out they actually do have a good system and I've been pissed off about nothing. You can specifically turn off the porn games while keeping stuff that might have occassional nudity.

My problems are solved

How do Steam's family account settings work? My kids are 2 and 0 so I don't have to worry about it anytime soon but theoretically at some point I'd want them to have access to kids' games but not violent or scary poo poo (or my dozens of hentai tentacle games ofc)

The family view is probably fine, I haven't tried it, but you can manually choose the games you want to show while family view is active.

The library sharing though, I have it enabled for my wife and myself, she can access my library but I can't access hers. No idea why. I've double checked. Also you can't use the same library on two devices (maybe with offline mode?).

Microsoft also has a really half baked family thing that would work if they'd expose more control to the parents - i.e. being able to whitelist certain programs rather than having to authorise her for x amount of time everytime she wants to use chrome/firefox at school

Alright for real how do you get a child to poop on the potty. She'll pee just fine, knows when to stop and go. Not with poop though.

We've tried to incentivize potty comfort with things like books just for reading on the potty, but so far no luck. The other night she sat on the potty for a few minutes while we read to her, but she didn't have to go, so we stopped and went about the day. Maybe like a minute or two later, she pooped.

She's a smart kid and we don't want to rush, but she's due to start preschool in the fall and their policy is kids have to be fully trained, so we're getting nervous.

She just turned 3, btw.
2 month update:

We're on a 17 day streak with daily pooping on the potty, with no accidents. She's wearing big girl underwear all the time now, expect for sleeping. She's doing great :)

We are week 2 of Toddler Soccer class. It is chaos.

I will say, it is super fun to bamboozle a toddler with a ball. This kid is The Washington General right now, he can't keep up with my Harlem Globetrotter skill

rock out with your stock out

it feels really loving good to have a string of really full and fulfilling days for your toddler with no major meltdowns or other incidents. we crushed it at a splash pad after waiting most of the day for the rain to clear out and then the next day went to a party at a park where she ran around for 5 straight hours. the next day after daycare was a trip to another park, and then with the grandparents to the community pool the next day. I’m extremely happy to have been able to give her such an amazing time, but I’m also prepared for her to do some unhinged toddler poo poo at basically any moment.

My 7yo had her tooth kicked out at a birthday party bounce house, luckily another parent asked about her gap coincidentally and she was like, "hey that's new!"

this made me check for under 3 soccer programs in my area, and we’ve signed up for a 5 week fall program, that will surely just amount to her running in circles in a park, which we previously used to do for free.

It's what's for dinner.
A few nights ago my wife was out with friends so I spent the evening at home with my 21mo. I took an edible after dinner and wow what a lovely experience that was, playing with him while slightly high. I felt like I was noticing so much of his language that I hadn't noticed before. I took notes of a few made-up words he seemed to have for things, and when I told my wife later she was like "ohhh yeah that actually sounds a little like the Cantonese for those things" (my wife is Hong Kongese so we're trying to raise him bilingual, I know gently caress all Cantonese though)

Aside from the noticing his words though, playing with him while a little high was just absolutely delightful :3:. I was feeling a lot of connection.

Weed makes me a better parent, booze a worse one. I still drink but I’m much more judicious about when and how much than I used to be.

I go and take a smoke break pretty much as soon as I’m home from work though and it gives me a lot more patience and perspective with the kids.
