Mustached Demon posted:Same, kiddo, same Beer is one of those things were baby does not get to decide. He sure wants it though! My wife is apparently a master breastfeeder, both kids caught on pretty quickly and there has been zero problems other than lack of interest after exposure to my baking skills. Based on other people we know, it's probably mostly luck with production and sucky kids, but also a pretty chill attitude about it, basically believing it would work and also formula exists if it doesn't so no biggie.

We tried to let our first do baby-led weaning and she led us straight to purees. They were the only thing she'd touch for like a month

First day of school for the six year old was today. He was quite nervous about it, but we didn't make a big deal out of it beforehand, so he was kinda excited on the way there even. And then everything was completely chill and good over there. Because it's the autism class, he has 6 classmates, his own cubicle (which is a plus in this case) and two out of four pedagogues in addition to the teacher, all of whom seemed super nice. He was low key exhausted after two hours, but it was really the best possible start and class for him. It's gonna be better than I had feared, and quite possibly actually really good in a few weeks! Also, for that political content, this is all free public option in Denmark, although far from the standard package of one teacher to 26 kids.

My kids managed to find a tub of Petroleum Jelly in the bathroom early in the morning, and proceeded to use it to generously lubricate the hardwood floor. My wife awoke to the sounds of them careening down the hallway, alienating between using one another as a human toboggan. My wife: "Why? Why did you do this?! Why did you think this was okay?" "We were bored and wanted to make a slip n slide in the house!"

We felt bad for sending our older kid to basically summer school so after it ended signed them up for a week of coding camp. I think we're forgiven.Panfilo posted:My kids managed to find a tub of Petroleum Jelly in the bathroom early in the morning, and proceeded to use it to generously lubricate the hardwood floor.

purees were cool beacuse i could make a giant batch of it and stick it in some ice cube trays. instant meals for a month. but those were the glory days where the kid would eat anything, then she wouldn't try anything. now she's at least trying stuff again, even if she doesn't like a lot of it. toddlers are weird and make no sense.

Children make parents happy, after all https://www.economist.com/international/2019/07/10/children-make-parents-happy-after-all quote:FOR THE past twenty years or so, social scientists have affirmed what parents think when they are at their most exasperated and dyspeptic: children make you miserable. In 2004 Daniel Kahneman of Princeton University and others discovered that parents thought that looking after their children was about as enjoyable as doing the housework. Two meta-studies (studies of studies) in 2012 found that, in most of the research, self-reported “life satisfaction” (a measure of happiness) was a bit lower when there was a child in the house.

My preschool-aged daughter informed me yesterday, unprompted, that she wants to be a police officer when she grows up. I asked her why, and her response was "so I can get mad and arrest people. Like you and mama." Didn't think I'd be sending her off to a reeducation facility at such a young age, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

I've been reading Pippi Longstocking to my kids, obviously expurgating on-the-fly the various parts where Pippi spouts off a series of ugly racial stereotypes. Anyway in one chapter Pippi defies and humiliates a pair of brusque policemen, maybe they might like that part. The parts where Pippi goes off are very bad though, and they go on and on.

Just dealt with the biggest blowout I've ever seen (Simpsons meme, biggest blowout you've seen so far) Filled the diaper, down both legs to the toes, up the back and belly, on my arm in one visible spot and one spot I couldn't see (so that way I got it on my shirt too) We were lucky in the long run really, none of it got on the furniture or rug or any of my clothes other than that one spot. Counting my blessings

Not before, when she was in her bathtub of after, with the diaper on. Her first two teeth are starting to come out. That probably has something to do with her starting to do her best impression of those goats that scream: just start making noise for a while. It's not because of hunger, or needing a diaper change or any other evident cause. This stresses my wife because she thinks a quiet baby is a happy baby. This week we have the regular doctor appointment and will ask about those yelling episodes.

My younger daughter was horsing around and pushed her big sister a bit too hard when they were supposed to take a shower and caused her to fall wrist first on the tile and while I'm icing her wrist and hoping she doesn't have a sprain (or worse) my younger daughter exploits this distraction to getting her hair in a softball sized knot around a comb that I can't get out. They start school tomorrow morning

Nothing triggers my 1 year old like cleaning up. Put her blocks in their bucket or stack those cups neatly? She will sprint crawl across the room to gently caress them up and then roll the crucial middle piece deep under some furniture. Truly an agent of chaos.
