Can't say I like the occasional glimpses of dysfunction you catch from other families at school drop off points. A second grader with an influencer mom and a real albatross of a first name walked up to me today and volunteered "my mom gave me a middle finger because I wasn't going fast enough"  .I felt so bad for the little guy.

I recognize that there are some perfectly healthy family dynamics where an 8 year old could exist and get the bird from their parent in good fun, but it was clear that the kid felt bad about it. My kindergartner noticed it too, though, and she dug through her bag and gave him an invitation to her birthday party. It was the sweetest thing I've ever seen and seemed to cheer him up.

so when my kid comes home as asks us what poo poo gently caress, etc are we are pretty calm and explain we don’t say those words and they can be mean so just best not to say it. we don’t make a big deal out of it and she moves on. but, my spouse keeps on trying to correct our kid from not saying ain’t . and lol she uses it at the right moment to get a rise out of her. kid has great timing

Anecdote from one of the parents that I rather like: One of her boys was on her last nerve and they were really late for something and in a moment of exasperation she lost it and yelled "JUST GO GET YOUR loving COAT." The kid, five years old, was confused and hadn't heard the word before. "Which one is my loving coat?"

^^^ after seeing how fast they can turn a nicely cleaned room into a post tornado landscape, and how I felt, I started wondering if that was why some of the adults in my life would absolutely lose it with me.

I'm thinking about grabbing a tablet, dumping my phone photos and baby pictures onto it, and sending that to my mom. I got two approaches to this I can get purpose built picture frame tablet: Sales Page and that looks p cool I just email photos to an inbox and it shows up on my mamas picture frame (assuming it is attached to Wifi) Or I can buy a $140 Lenovo tablet, there is a deal at bestbuy. I'd do Linux at it to strip all the onboard ad buttons and have my big ol photo dump contained in there. Good for the box open pop factor.

My son had a fever this evening. I did him dirty though and put him to bed without an acetaminophen suppository. He fell asleep an hour sooner than he has the past week.

I got two approaches to this Rare product endorsement, but we got my folks an Aura frame and I'm really happy with it. There's an app that you use to send photos to the frame and it displays them randomly or you can remote queue a specific one. My brothers family can use it to so it's a forever* refreshing grandchild hub. We ended up buying another one to digitize the kid's artwork. *Until the company goes under and the app lapses

My wife was out yesterday at dinnertime. My inlaws bought pizza for themselves and they sat and ate stoically as my older had the understandable meltdown. Like, you don't have to offer (and I didnt ask, obvs) but not even thinking what effect that's going to have? Changing a single thing of your plan so I dont have to deal with a nuclear meltdown?

I fuckin know, my wife does the same thing. I keep telling wife that if she wants to eat in peace she needs to do it out of eye sight of the kids, but nope, her meals are always on couch, always with children unsecured, out of sync with when they eat. So they demand a piece while she ignores and meltdown goes on. I don't get it

Is eating dinner together with whoever is in the house not the normal thing? Just getting dinner for yourself feels super weird.

Every family is a foreign country. Your parents are the old country. Your spouse's parents are their own old country. Impossible to achieve true understanding.

BonHair posted:Is eating dinner together with whoever is in the house not the normal thing? Just getting dinner for yourself feels super weird. Ehhhhh, it depends. Sometimes we're cooking something the kids will eat, and then we all eat together. Sometimes it's scrounging night, kids are eating mac and cheese, I'm eating leftovers, my wife's making instant noodles, and we just all eat whenever. But "order food in and eat in clear view of kids while offering nothing" is rude as loving hell. It would be rude to do that in front of friends, too! Kids are people!
