i was looking through my photos from earlier this year and found some from the beginning of february. my 8-year-old had asked me about primaries and i tried to give her a good rundown of how the process worked. an hour later she had built a polling location from magnet blocks and legos i told her i was impressed by how much interest she was showing in the political process but i was also a bit confused about this guy:  when i asked why there's a guy in a spacesuit knocking on the door, she replied: "oh he's trying to blow up the building because he thinks they're voting for the wrong person"  she later added police to arrest the bomber. also featured: another dude getting disenfranchised because he arrived too late

Flavius Aetass posted:"dad, what is cock?" lol, these kinds of parenting moments are great i was reading a children's book on telling time, and my 3-year-old told me she likes japanese cocks. pretty sure she meant 'clocks', but every time i try to correct her she insists on her pronunciation, saying it a bit louder each time. all i can do is pray they avoid talking about clocks during her distance learning classes  e: a few days ago my 8-year-old told me about typing in 80085 on a calculator. i played dumb, and it was so fun watching her struggle to keep herself from laughing as she whispered the joke to me (she didn't want her innocent younger siblings to overhear).

i got an email from my son's 1st grade teacher apologizing for the inappropriate stuff in the class's Teams chat window. i chuckled and opened the chat, expecting to see kids spamming the word butt or something instead i got treated to someone claiming to be in their 60s hitting on the kids in the class, sending creepy pictures, and asking to talk about sex. there were also a bunch of audio files i didn't click on. thank loving god my son can't read. i am pretty shaken at the moment, what the gently caress distance learning loving sucks! e: edited a few of the details out U-DO Burger has issued a correction as of 01:40 on Oct 28, 2020 |

my 3-year-old was coloring a picture of baby shark and she came up to me and proudly showed me her work "look daddy, the baby shark is swimming with her family! they are happy, swimming together in the Blood Cave."  she really likes talking about blood Organic Lube User posted:Welp guess I'll be homeschooling my kid for the next few years. That's horrifying. please let us all know if you find something that works. i'd definitely be open to homeschooling if my wife and i didn't have work. who knows? maybe one of us will get fired soon, and we can try to take charge of their education. even discounting that super creepy incident, we've been having issues getting disconnected from class randomly. my son has taken advantage of this situation, and he's started ending the calls himself and claiming he got disconnected instead (and then asking to play video games lol). we can't hover over him the entire time class is going to ensure that he isn't doing that, and i don't like feeling suspicious of him every time he says he got disconnected. it's not fun!

Good soup! posted:It will be a while before my girl is able to navigate youtube and all that but the Elsagate poo poo had me shook as far as kid friendly stuff goes, is there a running list of things to absolutely avoid and stuff that would be ok for them to watch (beyond the obvious stupid poo poo trying to get them to buy poo poo or other useless content) baby signing time and number blocks are good shows for kids imo but really by the time you have to worry about any of this, there will be fun new terrible fads for your kid to get sucked into. until you reach that point, i wish you luck on getting a full night's sleep whenever possible

my first kid didn't sleep for more than 2 hours at a time until she was 16 months old, and most of her naps were 20 minutes long in our tiny 1 bedroom apartment  my second kid was sleeping soundly through the night at 2 months. my third kid's sleep schedule was the only one that seemed to align somewhat with the baby books i'd read. in conclusion, baby sleep schedules are a land of contrasts

Big Mad Drongo posted:A Switch + games that can be played in short chunks was a godsend during the first few months for me. I did so much grinding on Hyrule Warriors. bottles and pacifiers are both bad for kids and lead to massive trauamtic issues down the line. i claim this, not because i believe it to be true, but because all three of my kids completely refused bottles and pacifiers despite months of effort and i am incredibly jealous of parents whose kids actually took them

Louisgod posted:when my kids were babies, the WiiU was A Thing so when my youngest was born (2014), she'd sleep on me during the night and I'd get to get some console gaming in without waking her. also thank god for the 3DS. there's a picture of me holding our first baby with a baby carrier while i played dark souls back in 2011 couldn't do that for the following kids because playing M rated games in front of toddlers seemed like a Bad Idea, so instead i was introduced to the hellish world of mobile gacha games

haha that reminds me, i said before that my first child barely slept. this was true of car rides too. we would drive from seattle to portland to visit family (~3-5 hr trip, depending on traffic), and my daughter would cry for so much of the trip. and if we were ever lucky enough for her to fall asleep, slowing down for traffic at tacoma, olympia, etc. would wake her right up. it was maddening, until we discovered that if we played a certain song at almost full blast, she would stop crying, calm down, and fall asleep after about 10-15 minutes of listening. this is that song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epFrre9ujRM

nature documentaries are great for kids imo i got a lot of mileage out of the Life series, narrated by attenborough. my first kid watched the first episode when she was like 3 or 4, in which a group of kodomo dragons kill a water buffalo. as they showed footage of komodo dragons feasting upon its bloody carcass, my daughter got this glow in her eyes and turned to me to tell me what was apparently the moral of the story "look daddy, the kodomo dragons killed the buffalo by working together as a team!"

my first kid would not sleep for more than 2 hours at a time until she was like 16 months old, and we lived in a small 1 bedroom apartment so you couldn't escape the crying everything after that has been smooth sailing by comparison tbh, even after adding 2 more kids to the mix

New kid is pretty miserable and there isn't anything we can do about it except suck her nose every couple hours. Not worried about her dying or long term effects or anything but the hospital support is the best option for the baby. Feeling pretty helpless. god that sucks. i hope things get better for your family soon

i never really bothered with cereals for kids because feeding your kid bland and flavorless poo poo feels like such a waste to me. i just let my kids gnaw/suck on a portion of whatever it was we were eating and never had any issues. it's also pretty fun to see what flavors infants and toddlers latch onto, because in my experience they're not as picky as older kids. when my first kid was 1 she absolutely adored pickled ginger and scarfed that poo poo down anytime we had some on hand.
