He is very explicit about this in his cover for the Radiohead song "Creep". Anyways this was the top comment their "Say It Ain't So" music video and I think about it all the time.

Hope you packed some cell phone cables and snacks. I had weekend hospital inducement and it is a wild solitary experience. Greet the security guards and figure out when your nurse team is swapping their panama shifts. Have fun~

feeling those formula buyers
a lot has changed in 16 years and it sounds like finding the right one is like finding the right antidepressant

Oh my scavenger instincts are ON FIRE for formula right now. Brother-in-law is tied down to some cow lactose free Nutrifeed portmanteau word brand and like across 3 geographic areas we can't find poo poo. Shopping conditions are like Bitcoin era 2021 graphics cards, cept if bot shopper you set up doesn't work your baby starves. Dude has to find a steady supply of that formula brand because he doesn't know how to burp a baby.

Gonna try and talk WIC representative into expanding brands for availability purposes.

Night 1 Christmas tree area looks welcoming and wonderful.

Night 2 Christmas area is torn up, knocked down, and ripped apart by a pincer attack coordinated between baby and dog.

Night 3 Christmas area has incorporated all baby containment gates and fenses to look like a cheery baby fort knox

Grandma is out the house today so me and toddler are pigging out on post-lunch Animal crackers. This is fine to eat for toddlers, they come in a bucket and contain the least amount of sugar a cookie could contain before it gets classified as hard tack.

In 15 years I'll walk into my son's astral shrine where he communes with the spirits. Dust collecting on my own childhood tarot cards. I gifted those to him when I realized he had the gift before sending him to goth school. He tells me that's not how they foretell the future anymore. He tells me there's a 13th zodiac now, with a possibility of a 14th. I just can't relate

Once I found out kid #2 will be a boy I had a short dilemma w/r/t how my parenting strategy would differ toward raising a boy from the strategy we've been using to raise our daughter, and I eventually settled on "it won't". I don't think there are any values or strengths that I want one kid to have and not the other. My dad fundamentally seeing my sister as a fragile waif to be protected and me as a potential rear end in a top hat that needed to be reined in was probably the source of a lot of his mistakes.

My mom was fine. She's still fine. Her biggest fault is that she's very emotionally needy, probably because she's married to my dad, who does not express positive emotions (this is a problem I have too but I'm aware of it at least)

Oh hol up, there's a difference. You don't have to be as precise wiping poop with boys as you do girls. Also there is extra danger of getting peed on by boys that arn't possible by girls. :biotruths:

Potty Training Holiday was a complete failure. No pee in the bucket. poo poo remains the most hopeless endeavor. Like... gently caress every body else on the planet that we know can pee in a potty. What's up lil dude this is attempt #368. Every now and again I look at the picture of the first time he successfully pottied at attempt #29, when I thought it would be easy like that one time forever. Ugh piss

I'm on the same train as you Lobster, just a couple weeks behind on the timeline. I pushed Mom and Son together for holiday, but her work schedule and extreme pregnancy made me the heavy lifter for his care. It fuckin sucks, but I just have to try and believe that whenever the schedule of care flip flops she's going to have some mommy magic to break through the parental preference.

I have no advice. poo poo just sucks dude.

I dunno what she means, we got a big ol costco bucket of animal crackers and those were forbidden to feed the baby because they have too much sugar. Then the toddler swerved her to give me a hug and now animal crackers are fine to give the baby. I stopped trying to figure out the why a long time ago.

feeling very glad that i like and get along with my mother in law (and also with my mom)

Oh I get along with her fine, I even like her, but lmao there is absolutely no space in their side of the household to even mildly critique their ancient elders.

In my side of the family, the oldest daughter, my sister, wrested control of the matriarchy at 38. Wife's noble family is perfectly content letting their dementia ladden gerontocracy squander and get scammed. COINTEL worked too well.

for sleep training we did the modified faber method thing where, instead of jsut letting them cry it out, you put the kid down drowsy but awake and then wake increasingly long intervals before you go in and comfort them. like i think the first night it was one, then two, then three up to five minutes, and the next night you start at five minutes, and so on. it worked really well for my son, he responded very quickly to it and we only had to do it a few days before he got the hang of it.

Same. Sometimes the Ferber Method feels like it is training me as much as it is training the lil boy.

My ma was an immigrant and the doctor just did my circumcision when she was asleep, for free I guess idk. She just said "I dun understand, it's an American thing"

When my son was born we decided to circumcize him too, because neither of us want to explain the differences between dad's dong and his dong. Doctor came up to our room with an iphone and card reader dongle to charge us $300. It is one of the most uniquely American experiences to pay to ritualistically scar your child because it was done to you for free.

I get why, nobody washes their children here. Wife and inlaws are far too repressed and squeamish to ever pull back a foreskin.
