It's true, you're right about that. I have also significantly cut down the amount of my own pics and life events on FB, along with severely culling my friends list. It's seriously mostly cat pics and tunes I like. Lol.


I think it's obviously appealing to people, again, because of the validation aspect. I believe it all started out innocently enough, but now it's just this whole other, out of control, cultural and social animal.

lol we were probably born in the wrong century, fuck i wish i was born like 5000 BC where dog people weren't extinct yet

That doesn't make sense, you do know the origin of groot?
You first need to ask if she wants to


A German cousin of my wife had a baby girl last week. I saw on FB that the hospital posted pictures, name, place, names parents, weight, length of all babies that were born in the hospital in that week on it's FB page.

My husband really wants to do Ogami Itto and Daigoro (Lone Wolf and Cub) from Shogun Assassin. Lol.

It's the mega ultra prequel costume! And if she grabs the costume and shakes it...it's going on!

Groot is the less scary version of Swamper.

Well we made it to just one nap without as much fuss as I was worried about. Phew!

such a relief when things like that work out. But now there is less time for you to post here while she is napping!

Got a goldfish today. It�s kinda like having a kid.

Bahaha, indeed. Also finding stuff to do for 5 hours now that it's not so nice out!

My wife did take L to the local library's "story time" for kids where they basically just play and get wild. He caught a little bug from there and has had a runny nose + mild fever, but isn't letting it affect his mood. Just as smiley as ever. He's not eating as much though which is unusual to me

Heh yeah we go to the library 3 times a week for story time and baby goose. She loves it!

Story time is killer! We also found a music class that goes to the old folks home. Bunch of kids screaming and banging instruments for an hour in front of really old people is great.


Question - have any of you goldfish-proof your house...or kid-proof it? She is getting into everything as usual, and will stop when I grunt uhh-ahh. But we are thinking is we kid proof then we don't have to watch as much...still watch...but we can be in kitchen she can be where ever. But I really would rather her learn what to get into an not into, which almost seems to catch on.

Our home was already pretty kid proof to begin with. Drawers/cupboards/storage for pretty much everything, and we don't have clutter. All we really had to do was put some rubber protectors around hazardous edges of a few things, and I covered the front of our entertainment stand with black mesh (it actually looks good/not shitty at all, hah). Our entire living room is her "yes" zone. We put baby gates at both openings so she can safely play alone if I have to be in the kitchen or whatever.

Oh yeah, and covers on the outlets of course. We have a couple lamp cords visible but she hasn't been interested in those... yet, lol.

We pretty much just have to keep him out of the kitchen for now, the previous owners attempted to tile the kitchen themselves and they did a shit job so the grout is coming up and we don't want him putting it in his mouth. Mostly everything else is fine for him to play with in the living room though.

I thought kids were more like dogs, in the way that if you make rules and stand by them they follow and are happy with it? Or is it just the new parenting guideline allowing your little devils eveything compared to when we were young resulting in free and creative minds? At least this is my impression when I see families at restaurants lately. Every fucking place have turned into a macdonalds playground. And these monsters are to take care of us when we grow old and sick? Still not decided on getting one of these lol, but I�m seriously bored at this age so why not, maybe I can teach him to dj a lot earlier than I did myself and he can succeed where I failed lol. Meanwhile I can finaly get back to LEGO.

It's really important for a child's development to be able to explore and play freely/without constantly being told "no." This doesn't mean it's a total free for all and they can do whatever they want wherever they want, it just means they can have a safe place to play and use their imagination. Unstructured play is the best thing for their developing minds, and helps to foster their sense of confidence/security.

And yes, boundaries and limit setting are clearly important, but they also have to be age appropriate. We're talking about infants/toddlers here. Heh.


No, kids are not like dogs lol Jesus. But the way many people raise/talk to their kids, you'd think so.

Seriously.

There's this "hands off" thing that I find absolutely bonkers and they give you all this claptrap about "personal development" and "allowing your child to express itself".

It does not need to express itself by shitting and pissing anywhere it wants or not shutting the fuck up in a public place. It's this bizarre combination of basically no discipline and allowing your kids to do whatever the fuck it wants in the name of not "limiting" it, yet these are the types that won't allow their kid to walk to school and brand those that do as "free range parents".

I had a healthy amount of boundaries and it made me respect my parents. I see parents doing this "never tell your child off" and "never say no" approach and know that their kid is going to be like fuck those idiots the moment it has free thought, circa 13.

I am thinking of just blocking off the kitchen. The rest is pretty much kid proof. But she loves cords.


And I think at a certain age being obnoxious/loud/messy in public is not good...but by that point it seems too late. But I'll find out in the next couple of years Discipline is the next thing we have to learn how to do right...need some youtube vids.
