I just don't want to be the number one reason they're in therapy as an adult.

My 2 yr old peed on two of her daycare teachers today (so far), so your last line made me laugh out loud.

 

The Daily: The Parents Aren't Alright - Link

My crummy tl;dr - Intensive parenting and social media parenting shit making us feel guilty for everything. Previous generations parenting was going about life with the kid doing whatever on their own. Now we are on the floor with them always in their business thinking and preparing ten steps ahead

I'm curious what parents of kids 5+ think of this. At one point in the podcast, someone says, "Bigger kids, bigger problems is what they say. It becomes less physically demanding, but it’s more mentally demanding."

My kids are 4 and under, so I'm definitely in a phase where they are physically demanding.

Ah yes I see that now. Missed it before.

If you're seeking feedback, that needs to be clear.

I'll clarify: Are you advertising here with this post?

I think that's why you'd be hard pressed to find Daria in its original form too: music licensing.

She basically died because she told the doctors she had taken miso. At this point she absolutely needed a D&C but because Georgia law said that's bAd, doctors risked losing their licenses to help her. And by the time they were going to, it was too late.

But hey, it was a woman who died, and she was black, so definitely not the kind of person they care about.

Ugh. So disgusting.

..... My FIL just asked me if this is actually true.

Yes, FIL. I wanted to ask him how much he even helps, because sitting on his phone in my living room watching sports commentary videos every week isn't contributing positively to my kids' lives.

Locking this because nothing productive or positive is happening in the comments.

It probably does help to quantify, though I suspect all the numbers in the world wouldn't change some minds.

 

Do folks here have school age kids? Curious about parenting struggles and how issues have been resolved.

 

Running out of ideas to entertain my toddler and preschooler. Help! One eats everything and the other is in full three-nager mode.

 

My 3 year old just kicked me off the couch so she could invite her dad to come snuggle with her.

What are your kids up to?

 

I've been thinking about this for a few days. I want a place where parents can come talk about parenting with a group of peers to commiserate, seek advice, provide advice, etc.

Parents of all children of all ages are welcome.

 

Title says it all. I've built up communities before but that w as s before I had any children. I'd love some help here. Something about how it takes a village comes to mind. 😂

I want this to be a respectful place. If a child's health or safety is at risk, feel free to speak up. Respectfully.
