we had occasions where our kid was so twitchy and cranky that the choice was tablet or canceling. screen limits are for peacetime

imma assume most of the time it’s just lazy parenting and not a necessity but you can’t really judge that from the outside when in thailand saw this family (dad was a huge beer gutted euro rear end in a top hat) and the kid was ipad and headphone the entire time. no swimming in the pool no nothing. hard not to judge tbh

cowboy beepboop posted:that kid is going to have some very weird opinions lol. hope it was something like the lost ancient civilisations chats and not something too insane it was thankfully a clip in a longer youtube video. but still my eyes did pop out a little when i saw that. it's kind of amazing how well screens capture attention even for younger kids. our boy is 9 months now and if i pull up some video he'll watch it for like 10 or 15 minutes pretty intently. we almost always avoid that, but he was just really fussing one time and i'm like ok let's watch bill nye the science guy for a bit so we can all calm down.

i knew LJ was smart when I was watching nausicaa one night when he was super little and he lost his poo poo with joy when the baby bug was united with the mommy bug. there's no swelling music or people cheering or anything, the only way that scene is something to get excited about is if you've been paying attention and more or less understood the plot. my mind was blown.

we were like "oh ho we will be proper parents and not screens!" but there are times when it's just easier to do it for a bit like in the gap between "ordered food" and "received food" while hungry but also we are super bad about mornings where she'll wake up at 0630 and whoever is doing wake-up will take her downstairs and just stick the TV on and sleep on the sofa for 45 minutes. probably too much TV at weekends if I'm honest *but* she loves books and is perfectly happy wandering around spouting absolutely crazy monologues about her various toys and how naughty they've been in summar, B+ not the best not the worst

I work with a young woman who for a 17yo is quite well adjusted and socialises well and seems very normal, and I was telling her about how I am concerned that if I let my kids they would scroll reels all day long and worried about what that does for development and she said “I was like that until like a year or so ago” an ole girlfriend of mine was barely allowed to watch any tv growing up and as soon as she moved out of home she basically watched tv every moment it was possible millennials - people who grew up without emojis - are the most egregious emoji users of all eminem grew up in a trailer park and loved alf and now he knows so many words what am I trying to say? gently caress knows

there are also times when she just gets totally zoned out from being tired. like after nursery or if we've been out etc. she gives it 100% whatever she's doing and then just wipes out later on. go hard or go home (and watch octonauts)

drat I met up with an old friend and her son has just turned 14 and is about 6 foot weighs 90kg (about 170lb?), had vapes all around his room, used condoms, she caught him chopping up weed, coz he’s dumb enough to not realise weed stinks and adults can’t tell. her ex and the dad is a cop and he sounds like a mega dick, his response to these kinds of things is to pin him on the ground and tell him he’d kick his rear end if he wasn’t a kid. she’s like what can I do? such a poo poo sandwich of a situation. her other kids are fine but a bit wild. but wow lol, doubt his issue is too much screen time lol echinopsis fucked around with this message at 11:07 on Oct 9, 2023 |

when the law fails we must take it into our own hands also I told her I was gonna put her in the iso cubes and got "I don't want to go to the iso cubes", that's right so stop trying to rip the book I'm reading you out of my hands. I don't think she's picked that one up though so I'm not gonna get in trouble for raising Judge Dredd

my wife fell while holding our boy yesterday. thankfully he's totally fine, we went to the doctor right after and he checked out, and he's been acting normal since then. a little cranky but he's also just getting a 2nd tooth. my wife's pretty upset over the whole thing which makes sense but still sucks. she's got cerebral palsy so she's prone to falling over in the first place. she didn't even trip over anything, just kinda fell down in the hallway. then she tripped and fell while she was out taking her daily walk. he's been climbing over small things now and pulling himself up so i've had to get rid of all of that to make sure he doesn't bonk his head again for a while

thankfully babies are made of jelly. she’ll be gutted tho. when you’re parenting a child for a good decade or more before they’re independent, stuff like this will inevitably happen. hope she can reassure herself that acute accidents like this are accidents and not reflective of her as a mum, although I’m sure knows anyway.

I felt SO BAD the first time I hurt our kid by accident, and then I promptly PTSD’ed it out of my head. There’s 2 instances of them being in Legit Danger that i’ll remember to the day I die I guess.

evil_bunnY posted:yeah i’m sure they’ll do a great job holding a cop accountable lol and unfortunately what the kid needs is a dad. getting cps or whatever involved will just strain the awful relationship the mother and father have more, and unfortunately single mothers on limited income don't just have the freedom to tell their ex to gently caress off its a poo poo sandwich. if there's one consolation it's that the kid will probably kick the dads rear end some time

wife freaked out today because we hadn't fully opened the stroller so it suddenly collapsed and folded up with baby inside mid-stroll i was perfectly calm (because I had already freaked out when I did the same thing a year ago with the other kid, so i knew he'd be fine)

lol the number of times that happened to me... kiddo accidentally wet herself at dance class and was so embarrassed she couldn't go back in. I feel so so bad and I feel like it's because life around the house has been real hectic lately and I've been gone for work a lot too. I hate leaving her (and my wife of course) but gotta make a living I guess. loving jobs god

he’s started skating and he’s come off a few times and given himself big grazes but i’m so pleased he’s just got back on if skateboarding teaches you one thing it’s that cement ain’t soft. well two things : that pain is temporary but being cool lasts forever
