I learned about elf on the shelf earlier this year and from what I gather it's a manufactured tradition designed to make money and control children's behaviour which turned into a massive international brand

perhaps the same could be said of all religions

I police YouTube a LOT. There is too much dumb/bad poo poo on there. I think I'm gonna block it except on certain devices and download whatever he asks for. Tell me if I'm overreacting

no you are not. im probably extremely lenient about what garbage movies/tv shows i'll allow on our streaming accounts, but youtube is basically off limits here outside of specific things (like wanting to learn how to make an origami thing or whatever)

First kid was extremely chill and ez baby. Second kid is (rightfully) demanding and vocal. If we had second baby first there would not be a second baby.

i only have the one but i always feel kinda guilty when i read about early parenting stories because she was so drat easy. slept great, ate great, mild fussiness. and i know i would never get that lucky again.

My 5yo said he'd only play soccer if I coached, and now he's like "I just don't wanna do it" I'm like I just finished several hours of sexual abuse training and we start practice next week, you're doing it!

So that's gonna be fun.

I was wearing a shirt yesterday with a smoking skull and my seven year old said "I guess it's okay for skeletons to smoke because they don't have brains" which was a good opportunity for me to remind them it's worse for your lungs than brain (to which they replied that it's still fine because skeletons don't have lungs either)

my kid always knew santa et al were fake but enjoys pretending they're real, so we play along, it's pretty cool

i just never did santa. my 8 year old has literally never gotten a present from him and she really does not give a poo poo. she just thinks its a fun thing that grown ups do to tease them, or sometimes dress up as. its like she's the one who's just playing along with her corny grandparents

Mario Kart 8 is a household favorite, it even has a steering assist option for the younger, more frustratable gamer. it also teaches good skills like trash talk and getting owned

my daughter is 2 and a quarter and she isn't really interested in playing with other kids or interacting with them. she isn't mean or rude to most kids aside from the normal toddler thing of grabbing stuff another kid might be playing with and, she gets excited when older kids show up at the playground and follows them around giggling but I don't know at what point she "should" be into playing with other kids. she does the parallel play thing well enough. I know I shouldn't worry about it and every kid develops at their own pace, but I'm just curious about it.

she isn't in daycare so I realize she isn't getting that much social contact with other kids outside playground/playgroup/swimming that we attend. she's perfectly social with adults.

3 is the "average" for when kids start playing with each other and not just near each other

my mom was basically the only grandparent i could trust for anything, and kid barely saw her other grandparents until her mom died at like age 4, and then covid happened. now i get nearly every weekend off because someone wants to take her to do some fun thing. grandparents ftw
