Years ago some indian dad uploaded the full 22 minute tracklist of the Fisher Price Kick and Play Piano. That video is no longer on the internet. Me and Mom got nostalgic, so we had to dig out the kick and play from storage, put batteries in it, and pushed the button to make the music play. The kids don't even give a poo poo, but these are fuckin banger tracks. In the last Year Fisher Price put out offical music videos. I am going full insufferable audiophile about these: They're dogshit. Animal Fair is a minute long skit that leads to a different song. The brass horns on the track don't sound right coming out of remastered audio, poo poo was built to be blasted out of a tin speaker. Just ughhh. This will be my first lesson on the virtues of keeping physical media.

I am confused by owlett's coughing behavior. When she gets real whiney she starts a screaming into coughing. She also enjoys fake coughing, and she is really happy and excited will offer fake coughs.

when my kids were a bit younger they learned that the fake cough was the fast track to sympathetic attention from my wife, so if they're ever even mildly upset by something they launch into hacking and retching like they've been smoking 5 packs a day for 40 years. p annoying

Yeah we definitely have some of those in our kid spotify playlists: https://open.spotify.com/track/5CpsnQeqmGKGwb27riJGUM?si=62c3244846cb4d0d Some of the instrumentals though... good lord, just hearing those puts me right back into that exhausted fugue state. That was like only a year ago for us too.

we went to see Wonka yesterday (good movie, enjoyed it) because it was the only movie she could go to. originally she wasn't even interested in it but then it was the only option lol anyway, she had a great time, lasted till like 10 min before it ended before she needed to go exploring. some younger kids were running around and she wanted in, and I don't think she has many more run around the theater with other kids before she will be too old for it so gently caress it have fun. we got outside and she had a big tantrum because... I still don't know lol stormed off and sat by a light post for a bit before coming back, I guess she didn't like the way I asked her to get in the car

I'm sick with something, so it was a relief when the kindergartener came home without any homework. It's usually a packet that is supposed to be week long. but he's convinced that he needs to do it all in one night. Thank goodness because I just don't have the energy right now. It's tablet time.

I got an email today about the long division section my kid is working through and it included a seven minute YouTube video explaining the technique. on the one hand I appreciate the guidance because the new math stuff is not anything I'm used to but on the other hand i can't stop screaming and hooting

Elissimpark posted:Why does your kindergartener have homework?! It's an optional packet that is really just a review of what he does during the school day. He gets class dojo points and something from the prize box in his classroom if he completes it. I was confused the first time it came home though. I don't know where this kid gets his love of school from. I didn't like school very much and didn't do very well. It's heart warming to watch him high five the custodian as he runs into the building in the morning.

The good news is that the snow has closed my workplace. The bad news is that the snow has closed the school buildings and it's zoom school today. NYC public school students don't get snow days anymore. Zoom school with a bunch of kindergartners is going about as well as you might expect, barely controlled chaos but the teacher is doing a good job holding it together.

My younger kid in kindergarten has exactly the same deal, a homework packet to be completed over the following week. They sit down and do it all at once with furious determination. They won't let me do it with them Hope you feel better.

I have come to realize and understand that, not only does my 9 year old son have a more solid bag of emotional coping techniques to use when he's stressed out than I did when I was his age... he may actually have a more solid handle on it than I do at my age.

Sounds like you're doing a great job raising your kid then. I've found it challenging thinking about how to teach and demonstrate emotional regulation and like how to talk about feelings and be normal sometimes.

It’s really competitive and you better have good BabySAT scores or it’s to the mines with you.

Day 4 of daycare: Kid comes up sick with his first cold. Unsurprising. Day 5: Kid stays home, looks miserable, tons of snot. Poor guy. Day 6 (Saturday): I think I started getting the bug the kid brought home at this point, not too bad though. Kid looking slightly better. Day 7 (Sunday): I am fully hosed up with whatever horrific bug the kid got, although he is looking much better. Day 8 (back to daycare): Now I've got conjunctivitis from this whole thing somehow, I wake up with my eye sealed shut. Absolutely wretched. Kid seems fine. What the hell. Day 9: I can barely get out of bed. Kid is now walking around like he owns the place at 10 months old. Day 10: See day 9.

My 9yo daughter has been agitating for an increase in allowance but we sort of have all of the household chores that she's capable of taking on accounted for. So, I hired her to be my personal trainer and I gotta say: She has a gift. I'm not sure if the novelty will wear off, but she's ready to rock and roll at 7am each morning and puts me through an "old man version" of her ballet warmup and some bodyweight exercises with Richard Simmons energy. I even got a pushup PB this morning. I'm not sure I would have set "do the splits" as a fitness goal for myself but who's to argue with a professional.

we finally mitigated the Valentine's Day madness: 1) design something simple with a graphic from Google image search 2) add in a terrible pun about something related to the picture 3) write "from KID" but eschew addressing them individually 4) print four per page then cut em out there you're done. if you really want to force your kid to write their own name then go wild but individually addressing them just means that passing them out takes forever gently caress this stupid holiday

From a UK thread:OzyMandrill posted:My son is 11 and plays football. I'm not sure if it's the action or the result that came first, but rolling around holding your ankles in pain is to be 'in Brexit'. To tackle is to Brexit them, and you shout the Brexit means Brexit as a version of 'in your face, loser' kids

We're doing it this time, guys. We're potty-training the 3-year-old. It's gonna happen. Thus far she has peed on the bathroom floor once and has not peed since. Her counter-strategy to us just not letting her wear diapers all day, apparently, is to drink nothing and never pee again. Little does she know, though, that this would technically qualify her as potty-trained. Checkmate
