The bathroom mirror, as you pooped for an hour

The second half hour I was of course straddling the toilet in reverse style

I actually knew someone in college who surrounded his toilet with a whole bunch of mirrors for some reason. I discovered this while peeing drunk rather than while pooping stoned, though, so I was mostly just confused

I think he made a beautiful post and did a great job and he is good.
My wife is really keen on hearing our daughter refer to her as mama. So the little one, being a master troll, has taken to referring to her as "dada" when I ask who she is and point at her.

I, however, am never mama. I am either also dada or sometimes owl.

I put too much formula in the over-night feed bottle because we had a pre-measured amount of water from today's outting.
This has angered the wife so much that she refused to accept my help and let her take a quick nap before I had to go work.

my son is so sweet sometimes, we recently got him some shoes that light up when you walk and last night he was talking about how he wants to get some for his sister when she learns to walk because he loves her :kimchi:

rock out with your stock out

anyone else on the sick since October train? probably like 3-4 distinct periods of weeks long super colds (all non covid, so say the rapid tests) with maybe 4 days in between them. the kids got a reprieve these past 2 weeks, but my wife is super toast, just constant smokers cough and snot.

she went to the doc today and got tested for rsv, Covid, strep and pneumonia. all negative! colds just kick your rear end now!

I'm on my paediatric rotation at the moment and there's lots of COVID, Mycoplasma, RSV and pertussis going around. Even had a patient with the flu today!

E: I would probably get tested for Mycoplasma if I had been sick for that long

Yeah it's mostly COVID and RSV. The respiratory panel also picks up stuff like parainfluenza , rhinovirus and MERS (lol). Most of the kids have 2-3. Once in a while we get a kid who pops positive for 4 different things

Kid and I were both very snotty before Thanksgiving. She got over it and I was stuffed up until probably last week, when it climaxed with my being both stuffed up and having a bloody nose from the dry air.

We have mostly been spared the respiratory stuff (probably helps that we mask everywhere although daycare lol) so now instead she has a couple teeth coming in to add to the general flavor.

Seven-month-old has a bad cold and has been awake in the middle of the night for like 90 mins+ every night for a week. We think maybe RSV? Nothing to do about it either way

Yes. I got antibiotics for possible bronchitis/strep which seemed to help but that was two weeks ago and I'm still sniffly.

My older kid's taken to writing a story in a google document when they should be sleeping. They're editing it right now. The version history's a litany of ruined bedtimes.

our kid doesn't seem to get sick for too long, or at least you hardly realize she's sick but the cough and runny nose feels like it lasts two weeks.

it's round, like always

any suggestions for how to start covering religion and/or death stuff for a kid (almost 4)? My wife and I arent religious or spiritual at all, but this request follows from me having the bright idea of trying to branch out from the PJ Masks / Spidey & Friends trap and put on Disney's Hercules which I remember being rated U. Before you know it there's Hades being punted down the Styx by his demon boatman to his skull fortress while being accosted by the grasping souls of the dead.

anyway my wife is pretty pissed about it

Just treat it like any other fantasy world imo. Kids have a terrible time separating reality and fiction, however obvious bollocks it might seem to be (to them, the Cars movie is real things that happened somewhere) and the only workable approach is to tell them that some worlds (the scary ones especially) are far far away so they don't have to worry about them

This is my plan for my currently-2-year-old, I have no experience though.

Bring me the head of Auguste Escoffier.
We've found starting conversations or answering questions with the phrase "some people believe..." pretty effective, whether for religious stuff or for things like Santa. Framing things neutrally as narratives that people enjoy or find meaningful gives you plenty of space to discuss these kinda things.

we frame religions as other people’s traditions. works out well since we have traditions that were born from religion but for an atheist or agnostic can still be enjoyed.

however the afterlife for us is not existent and sometimes it’s fun or nice to make up stories for after you die.
