Well, it finally happened: I found out my 3-year-old daughter is watching Tom & Jerry at her grandma's house and I had the thought "that's so violent though" there goes the last bit of coolness I might have possessed

My youngest son saw the chimpanzees at the zoo and promptly started yelling "King Kong! King Kong! King Kong!"

Glancing at the TV and Postman Pat is in blackface I'm sure there's a good reason for it

Chef Boyardeez Nuts posted:Welp, we're at a crossroads with the Kindergartener. So we ended up keeping the kid in Spanish immersion with the single day pullout program and possibly bumping her up a grade (or two!!) for reading and math next year, which seemed like the best choice. I just wanted to say thank you to all the goons who gave advice. You were very thoughtful and way better than the weirdos my wife solicited on Reddit who had very detailed theories about GATE being a ticket to upper class nobility.

I've checked reddit parenting subs a few times when I was desperate for trying to get the baby to sleep in the crib and I don't think people there can have normal opinions about parenting. I know it's past the point of needing input but i did immersion as a kid and I think I really benefitted from it.

KirbyKhan posted:Post the thread omg I gotta read that poo poo She deleted it out of embarrassment before telling me about it.  Dreylad posted:
She's still gonna do the single day pull out. It was a situation where there were no bad options. We toured the full time program and literally everyone we talked to said "it's a great program and you should absolutely come...unless you're already in a dual language program then you have a tough choice." At the end of the day my wife and I can supplement math, English and science out of school but Spanish fluency is a gift we can't give.

Spent about 10 hours getting home from vacation today, only about ~ 20 mins of nonstop tantrum started about 5 minutes from home. Overall, pretty successful imo

It was a little disheartening to watch my son lose at mario kart to all his friends. The good news is that he didn't seem to really care. To be fair, I am not a gamer and the only system he has is an old wii that he plays smash bros brawl on, so he didn't know how the controller worked. He can beat his friends at smash bros at least. We're moving up the switch purchase to after the school year ends so he's ready for first grade. It was a birthday party with a bouncy castle and it was hard to watch the little guy roughhousing with his friends because he's not as tough as they are. This is hard!

Chef Boyardeez Nuts posted:Like my man you have answered my question but not in the way you think: lol congrats on the cool developments we had our first tooth fairy visit yesterday which went well, and tomorrow is a classmate's birthday party. I'm going to try and stay out of sight, I want her to spread her wings and be more independent. Trying to explain to her the other day that one day she will be begging for mom and dad to give her space really got me, because she so sweetly explained that she wants mom and dad always to hang out with her.

Another undesirable side effect of reading the 4 year old Hamlet has cropped up. I told him we were having leftovers for lunch and he said "o cursed spite" instead of his usual "I don't like it" Eh. Maybe that one's desirable.

ikanreed posted:Another undesirable side effect of reading the 4 year old Hamlet has cropped up. Yeah, that's awesome. Just keep going! I wanna hear the reactions when he has to go inside in kindergarten and he goes "now is the winter of our discontent", or "tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow" for when he's told he can have candy on Friday. Just please remember to reintroduce normal conversation before he begins dating. Teenage me was very confused at an ex's house when dinner conversation was replaced with Shakespeare recitation.

Kyari Pamyu Pamyu music videos are my current go-to for 14 month old daughter pacification. There's like a good hour of extremely visually stimulating of music videos here. It's very girl coded. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OSiE4I-tRY Anyways Easter happened and I showed the kids this and told them that's how Easter is celebrated in Asia. Mom started getting mad saying that imagery would give them nightmares. I think she's just being racist again.

A storybook anthology thing we have has the first chapter of Paddington Bear in it, and it is super British (derogatory) Paddington repeatedly describes his country of origin as "darkest Peru" and when they ask his name, he says he doesn't have one, "just a Peruvian name that no one can pronounce" what the gently caress

The latest cartoon, The Adventures of Paddington, is really trying to make up for it and it's a pretty good show for kids overall but man even the "live action" one with Peter Capaldi as Mr. Curry sucks.
