my kid had her first martial arts class today and she said it was her “birthright” because me and her grandma are both black belts. I never urged her to do this. all on her own. some things are like epigenetic lol. helps half the class are girls and teachers are young women.

It's two in the morning and someone woke up after a week of sleeping through the night. Naturally I got a bottle ready and got yelled at for offering to feed her. I'm sure I'll get yelled at again later this morning for not helping too

I think our kindergartener has figured out the concept of "the weekend." He likes going to school and playing with his friends, but I think he's a little disappointed that we can't play outside all day tomorrow. It's a bummer. Sorry kiddo.

A few months ago meh offered a cool little nebula projector and I picked it up for $20 as a Christmas present nightlight. It was a huge hit, kid loved it and they're selling it again today. (I don't get a cut of sales, this is a legit recommendation)

Heres a hot tip if someone gifts you Shoots and Ladders and your child wants you to play that boardgame with a spinner that doesn't work: Pull out your nerd dice Game was so much better once we escalated the dice from 1D6 to 1D8 then to the D12 then add the D4 then the D20. It's not that serious, just add more dice when you want the game to end. Rules and Cheating are too advanced for the age where you gotta practice sitting down and taking turns.

Had a special day today and my son ate a big English breakfast at home before going to nursery. When I dropped him off at nursery I told them he already had breakfast so didn't need to have one there. Well he must have raised a stink because they gave him two more breakfasts at nursery What a loving greedy git

I feel like I can tell when my oldest son is growing because he'll suddenly be an eating machine for a few weeks, then he'll slow back down and just pick at his food. My youngest is an absolute wildcard; I might as well read tea leaves and bird entrails to know when and what he is going to eat. I don't want to make it A Thing because i've read that you can cause negative associations with food by harping on them about it, so I try to ride the line of "Calories for growing body = Good" and "No you can't always eat Cheez-its"* * - I loving love Cheez-its

2-year old daughter has what seems like chickenpox. Weird, since she's vaccinated. Our pediatrician and backup are unavailable. We go to some unknown pediatrician. Doctor: "Yeah looks like chickenpox, maybe. I dunno." He's cold, almost disdainful, and extremely unhelpful. We wonder if he's racist or just a lovely doctor. He sends us for a blood test. Daughter handles it like a champ and doesn't even cry. Doctor: "Turns out it's not chickenpox. Bye." We look him up online. All his positive reviews are from white people, and all his negative reviews are from black people.

Our kids go to sleep at 6pm every day and they're about the same age. Which is good considering that I have to get up at 3am to go to work every day and my wife often gets home late from her job.

Also, in the follow up call he said it's weird that her chickenpox antibodies are so high. Mom said that's presumably because she was vaccinated, which he would've known if he checked the medical book (all babies get one here) that she gave him in the first checkup.Son of Thunderbeast posted:gently caress that guy, name and shame imo. Could be helpful for anyone who happens to also be in your area That's the plan.

be careful some doctors have sued over bad reviews and lovely racist might be indicative of the type.

Sherbert Hoover posted:nice, which martial art? karate because it’s the closest to us and she would see her schoolmates there. my mom owned a taekwondo school so I have a different perspective .(trained in judo and akido as well)however all of those schools are like in the outer parts of the city while karate is in the inner burbs. the school’s technique is not that great but my training would have been like Russian ballet compared to what I saw (even as a child)so there will be some homeschool karate to make sure proper technique is applied one thing that is odd is all the kids while sparring had body pads and that’s completely unnecessary at their age so I wonder if it’s a liability thing.

This presumes she wants to stick with it but she enjoys Judo for now. My ideal concerned dad future is a kid with a healthy understanding of consent and the ability to ground and pound anyone who doesn't.

Ok big toilet vs small potty has become an issue Daughter had an accident at preschool yesterday and was sent home early today, both times apparently because she refuses to use the toilet there (today she just kept saying she was tired over and over which is her code for "I don't want to do this thing" but they weren't sure what else to do about it). They won't let her use our frog seat adapter thing at preschool for some reason (liability???) and have no child-sized toilets (which seemed inexplicable to me but there it is). She keeps having tantrums in the morning because she doesn't wanna go to school and it's because she's scared of the toilets. There's no preschool on Friday or Monday so we have until Tuesday to figure this out. She's apparently entirely unable to hold herself up on the toilet without the seat-adapter thing present. Like, she can't figure out how to hold her body properly on it so she doesn't fall in. Is that common? How could we address it? The only idea I've been able to come up with was "no more training potty, it's done its job, the frog seat can be the replacement crutch" because that way we can force her to get more familiar with the big toilet, but I have no idea how to get her using regular-sized toilet seats.

loquacius posted:Ok big toilet vs small potty has become an issue Can you sort of gently nudge them to let you bring the adapter or was it a hard no? What if you just sent it in her backpack? Will she tolerate sitting on one of those standalone potty things and will they let you bring that in? This is a tough one.

They don't have the little toilets apparently because they share space with a church which didn't install any. Their stated reason on not letting us send the adapter was sanitary concerns which seems ridiculous imo
