The best feeling!!! You’re lucky she’s not wandering. My 4yr old (though she’s coming out of it a little now it feels), gets up every night and knocks on her bedroom door (from the inside) with some bogus need… Overnight last night it was because she desperately needed a band aid for where her shoe rubbed her foot earlier in the day… (Don’t wanna tell her to f off if she’s really in pain, but know she’s yankin chains so its hard to navigate!) my kid puts on a bandaid every day regardless of need. Luckily he’s not really getting out of bed except in the morning when he’s awake.

Oh my daughter is all about the bogus needs haha. But she’ll yell ‘MOMMY/DADDY I NEED YOU’ for us to hear in the monitor, we’ll go in, she’ll smile like the fucking Cheshire Cat and just be like “what are you gonna dream about??”
I refuse to let myself get upset with it tho because I know one day, and probably not a day far away, she won’t care to ask.

If any of the expecting posters do not own a gym ball (those big bouncy ones), id highly suggest it for a new born. Theyre crying? Bounce a little and they stop (at least ours does), and it puts them to sleep quickly!

Been branching out and showing my daughter Disney stuff since she seems to have a longer attention span and landed on a Winnie the Pooh show from the eighties that I used to watch when I was around her age. I haven't seen this show in almost thirty years. The theme song starts playing and it's almost like something was grabbed in my brain and shaken around. It created a very panicked feeling. Here's my offspring watching the same thing I would watch at her age while greys are starting to show up in my hair. Time comes for everyone and, in that moment, I felt its sickening gaze focused solely on me.
Anyways, weird feeling. I didn't like it!

I introduced my son to like the old Disney cartoons and he liked Donald Duck and chip and dale. It’s crazy to me there isn’t just like a huge compilation of the old Disney cartoons on Disney plus. Have to use YouTube to watch them.

We’ve done the same. Our kids love the classics and it’s such a relief to be able to put on Aristocats or The Sword in the Stone instead of Peppa Pig or some other bullshit

Saturday mornings are classic cartoon time around here, we love it. Today we learned the joy of throwing a ball on the roof and trying to catch it. Lotta fun days.

All my kid ever wants to watch is YouTube and this show called Alexa and Katie. Every time we try to put on a cartoon or movie we watched as kids she says its "old timey"

My wife and I have started occasionally putting on the 70s-2000s Winnie the Pooh animated movies for my little guy to watch sometimes. He’s only 10 months old so it’s mainly if we aren’t feeling well and need to stimulate him with something for 20 minutes , but we want to stick to stuff that’s mellow and muted and isn’t just mindless nonsense. No judgement at all towards anyone else, but we are going to be very specific over what we put on around him because some of these YouTube videos kids love are so damn annoying and I can’t handle it lol. As far as new stuff, Bluey seems cool, but we will otherwise probably just do old Disney stuff, Winnie the Pooh, the lighter Miyazaki stuff, and seasame street.
Maybe it’s just wishful thinking, but I really want to instill in him that stuff isn’t bad just because it’s old. When I was a little kid, my parents played me old 50s musicals and Disney movies made 40 years before I was born, alongside the more contemporary stuff of the 90s.

My kids are obsessed with the original Peter Pan right now… They want to watch it like every single day. That movie has some really fucked up messaging..

I assume he was introduced to paw patrol at daycare but it’s his favorite show. And he wants to watch like the same episode over and over for a bit. Paw Patrol sucks and I wish Mayor Humdinger would get wrecked. How is he still mayor, why do the people of foggy bottom keep voting for this guy

Second kid was born last Monday. Doctor called today and said the blood prick from last week showed fucked up thyroid levels and that we need to get a second test in case the readings just came out wrong and we’d talk about it next week with him during an already scheduled appointment. Anyway, super annoying that a full 9 day after the blood draw he tells us. And newborns with thyroid issues need to start in on medication within the first two weeks or they can be mentally hard-rocking. Are there different types of thyroid levels or something and this one doesn’t pose such severe risks? If not, why in the fuck are we waiting after the two week mark to figure this out?

I've been through a somewhat similar scare and it's crazy that these people don't seem to realize that not giving you all of the information is going to cause you to spiral. I think it's all about skirting accountability at the end of the day. They don't want to tell you that it's probably nothing because there's a chance that it could be something and then they're in trouble, so they say nothing. I really hope it's nothing in your case. I couldn't even eat for about a week when they were putting us through similar stuff.

It looks to me like they just didn’t do due diligence or looked at the reading and saw it was bad and then forgot to do the next steps of telling us and getting things in motion quickly. If he ends up severely hard-rocking as a result, isn’t that textbook medical malpractice?

my guy will be starting second grade next. the required school supply list is soo long. $200 later. i honestly don’t mind but how the fuck did our teachers successfully teach us without this litany of goods? maybe we waited to get home to blow our noses or just picked’em.

Had back to school night and the teacher stopped her speech to tell me my kid is bossy, and spends most of the time instructing the other kids (we have heard this before… idk why she’s like this lmao). But then pulled me aside after and said she meant it in a good way (I took it as one), and that she meant she’s a leader. Hell yea. None of those other WEAK kids got a shoutout. Booyah.
Also, why are these moms SO extra. We have FOUR room parents, and two of them are married… is it me or is that weird af?
Also my 2yr’s teacher sent me a message to let me know theyd be giving all the kids popcorn during movie day tomorrow. The hellllll…. No you will NOT be giving my 2 yr old popcorn in a dark room. It kind of scares me that it’d even be an option…

So we moved into this new place, it's in a village of about 20 people/8 or so houses and we have this huge yard and the kids are loving it. They're riding bikes on trails, playing fetch with the dog, my oldest is fishing with her new neighbor friend all the time who is also into glider planes and they're gonna fly one one of these days when the weather is right. They've barely asked for a device since we moved in. It's literally the first time I've felt relaxed as a parent of 4 ever. I don't know what I'm getting at other than it's crazy what the right environment does for a kid's/family's well being. Feels good 👍

It’s huge now that she has a baby brother and she’s bouncing off the walls to run around.

Yeah she has a bunch of other friends about a ten minute bike ride away but they just sit around on their phones every time they hang out. It's the most vapid shit I've ever seen. I'm more just stoked about her doing healthy activities with her new friend. Earlier my kids were racing snails and it sounded like the Kentucky Derby.

Me and both kids have covid (or something?). We’ve all been throwing up non-stop, and I also have body aches, fever, hellacious cough, sinus headache, nausea… this ROCKS.
