lobster shirt posted:because my son continually refuses to poop in the potty we've been putting a diaper on him overnight (which he immediately shits into). he's four so i know we just need to eventually rip the bandaid off but it's hard, obviously. he is fine during the day, wears underwear, pees in the potty when he needs to, has only had like one accident in the last year+, but im getting so sick of changing diapers at night. lobster shirt posted:well good news my son did not piss in the bed overnight, maybe this is just the end of diapers for him. thank GOD if so. but we have had so many false starts with potty training i am trying not to get my hopes up. i think we have finally turned the corner here, my son has spent the past four nights and also tonight in underwear - zero diapers. he didnt poop in the potty for a few nights which had me worried but the last three nights he has gone every time, including tonight, a bit before bed. so this has me feeling pretty good. i had been dreading the day when i would have had to tell him no more diapers but he beat me to the punch lol. sometimes kids just aren't ready until they are i guess. way to go lobster jr.

This is praxis, good job on raising her! My wife spent most of the day tearing down the old greenhouse while I watched the kids. Not very motherly, but we're very much not celebrating.

Daughter is getting baptized. I'm Jewish so this falls squarely into "just don't tell her other grandma" territory. But there were 3 mandatory videos we as parents had to watch before hand and they were like lifetime original bible-story movies. So anyways, you can't make fun of the low-quality "I <3 baptism and you should get baptized, yes I know you're watching this video because you're already going to do it but let me keep selling you on it" video.

I went to my wife's cousin's daughter's baptism, which was weird because she's not really religious and the father is definitely not. The father's two mothers showed up for the event and even hosted the party, but they were very clearly not into the whole religious thing, for more or less obvious reasons. Not to be too judgemental, but what's the thought process of getting the kid baptized? It seems like it's a weird default choice for a lot of people who don't go to church otherwise.

Both of our son's Jewish grandparents had similar assumptions about him having a bris but were pretty easily mollified when we told them it's less common these days. I imagine that kind of tradition minus the permanent-body-modification angle might just coast on inertia for a very long time

If you want to actively discourage a bar/bat mitzvah, it should be easy: tell your kid their party will be of normal scale and hosted at the synagogue or something and not like whatever lavish extravaganzas they're imagining. This caused my wife to opt out of a bat mitzvah and her parents were (at the time) practicing (her mom has since then converted to Catholicism lol). It's actually a lot of work to have a bar/bat mitzvah without embarrassing yourself (I literally quit karate class so I could take bar mitzvah lessons) so absent any cultural pressure from you / your family your kid will probably be imagining a pretty big party to make it worth the trouble. That said, though, bar / bat mitzvahs are fun and inoffensive IMO. Mine was of normal scale and hosted at the synagogue and I still had a blast.

We're probably just going to tell the kids they can have a biggish 13th party, or pick somewhere in the world for an awesome international trip.

my older kid goes to a preschool which is predominantly Jewish, we live inside the eruv area from the nearby synagogue although neither my family or the preschool are denominational. All the families recently got their school placements for when the kids start in September (4-5 age bracket) and as expected the observant families are sending their kids to the faith schools. It feels like its caused a bit of a rift as they've peeled off from the preschool parents social media group and formed their own, which is understandable I guess and i assume they already know each other from synagogue, but the playdates etc have dried up and the secular kids are left with a hugely depleted out-of-school social circle now. Not much to be done about it I guess but my son is struggling a bit with the idea that as kids get older and transition into school that people and cliques will come and go.

I mean, being friends with kids from families so religious that they send their kids to religious school would get increasingly weird as they age anyway, but you can't really explain that to a toddler

I went to after-school Hebrew school three times a week as a kid but that still seems different from sending them to religious school as their only school. There are Catholic schools everywhere where I live too and that also sounds weird to me I honestly feel a little conflicted about Hebrew school though. Like, I don't want to send my kids to receive instruction from a religious institution OR cruelly rip their Saturday mornings away from them when I don't even practice the religion, but the idea of my kids not being able to read Hebrew or say the Shabbat prayers also feels like something is missing and like I'm letting my family get assimilated and imperialism-ed. I wish there was more Jewish culture not explicitly tied to either religion or zionism. Gonna take my kids to see Fiddler or something e: yes I know Shabbat is also religious, I just find it particularly wholesome and not necessarily tied to anything else. Blame my mom for doing such a good job with it I guess

I've only watched the first episode, but I read a couple of think pieces. Turns out Knuckles (voiced by Idris Elba) gets adopted by a Jewish family and does Shabott on like episode 4. It seems cute.

Looks like our daycare is going to get wrecked as part of the proprietor's divorce proceedings.  Silver lining I guess is that I was laid off almost three months ago so I can just take care of the kid until we get into a new one. Hoping it will be easier to place a soon-to-be-2-year-old than it was an infant.

My daughter doesn't have poop mistakes in general (crossed fingers) but I think last week or thereabouts she DID get called in to take her shared bath with her brother and announce that she couldn't get in the bath yet because she had to poop and then proceed to just get onto the toilet next to me and take an extremely laborious poo poo which I had to just kind of sit through because her baby brother was already in the tub and I couldn't leave him in there unattended

One of mine did a poo poo in the bath once, it was during potty training so while disgusting was understandable. Seeing as we are talking about poo poo - how do they produce so much? They sometimes forget to flush and I find it hours later and there is just so much! I am a fully grown man and I would be proud of that amount of poo poo.

We used the bamboo diaper cloth underneath a shell. We still have them. They're good cloth. We use them for all kinds of things now that the children no longer poo poo in them.
