No joke my coworker's sister is going through a divorce and one of the things that sparked it was when their young daughter said something about her "other daddy" in front of both her parents. Apparently real dad already suspected mom was cheating and the kid refused to say anymore when pressed so he took it as stone cold evidence.

Turns out "other daddy" is some youtube guy who makes videos with his kids and this girl (a six year old) watches him all the time and thinks of him as her "other daddy".

Now her parents are getting divorced lmao thanks Youtube!

Jesus. We should tattoo people like that like they did in the old days. CPS comes by, takes the kids and brands their foreheads. Only instead of "horse thief" or w/e it's "drat fine parenting!" If we're gonna let kids do whatever on the internet, let's go full Snow Crash with it.

Imagine if Venus and Serena's dad had been really in to MMA instead.

He'd probably be a duo with Joe Rogan by now.

Not having kids, I still don't understand this one. Is it about them fitting in with peers who also have phones - expensive ones, too - or is it just some kind of Helicopter-Parent tracking device for their purposes?

Like, holy poo poo. I would not let a six year old just get on the internet unsupervised. Jesus loving hell in a hand grenade.

Yes, it's a $7 GI Joe.

If you look at toys' prices now versus around 20 years ago it's pretty ridiculous. Action figures selling for like 16 bux plus tax? I wouldn't have had many action figures as a kid.

Took Fenix to the craft brewery for this awesome folk set. Had some great local craft brews with choice eats. Smoked sriracha maple bacon with local micro greens on a toasted peasant bread bun. Off to my shantala infant massage class all, namaste :)

Not to rag on "massage therapists" who practice on literal babies but after polling my half-dozen friends who are pediatricians, literally not one of them thinks this is an actual serious problem. Neglect is one thing, but not doing tummy time isn't going to result in "massive developmental delay" unless there are other problems going on.

*Attempts to calm a squalling 4 year old at the office by reasoning with him and explaining the rationale behind vaccines, while the nurse waits stoically for several minutes with the MMR shot.*

Why would you need a massage if you haven't even developed muscles :confused:
