He will reach into his underwear and pull out a turd and throw it onto the floor for our dog to eat it while yelling “Eww, it’s so yucky, she ate it!”
Yeah, you can't shit your pants at the rate Hoss Bonaventure does and expect your kid to not pick up some of those habits
Holy fuck that is disgusting. Gonna be hard later for me w/ fighting my preconceived notions of "womanhood", but I'm glad I have a daughter sometimes at this point when I read this thread and the sons y'all have.
Good news is that we're in Portland, OR now so it's required that everyone here become transgender according to likely my right wing nutjob dad.
I remember working “really hard” for my grandad’s business as a teenager in the summers, mostly just getting in the way and being a pain in the ass, so that I could spend all the money I made on an amp for my obnoxiously loud system. My friends that cut grass and used that for their beer and cig money were actually learning the value of a dollar. I’m going to make my kids get real jobs and earn their own BS money in highschool. Or at least that’s my plan for now.
I started washing dishes at 16 and ended up doing just about every restaurant job front and back of house. I was annoyed by it at the time but looking back it was invaluable experience. Our daughter will definitely be getting a job in high school although absolutely not under any circumstances in a restaurant. I saw way too many girls end up making awful decisions with dudes 5 years older
HEY I worked in restaurant jobs for like 6 years through high school and college Spoiler Confirmed skeezy dude that did/sold drugs right here
Or when you put them in jeans for picture day and ya know...fuck jeans. https://youtube.com/shorts/BhBtPZ0d5X8?si=iZ97_81-3gN-qlzM
Had this today. Asked my son if he wanted his toast to include an end piece (he went through a heel phase). He said no. Immediately made it with regular bread and he lost his mind that I didn't give him an end piece.
We just finally got our son to wear lulu pants after 13 years of refusing to wear anything but sweatpants or shorts. Now I just gotta stop him from getting shorts and rolling the waistband to make the legs shorter.
I've rocked a 5.5"-7" inseam for as long as I can remember so it doesn't concern me. Some kids these days are walking around with 4" inseams which is a little dangerous.
We are onto sweatpants now for the Chicago winter. I will hide this picture though because I am sure he would wear them in a heartbeat if they had a Sp5der, lulu or Nike logo on them
When he gets a little older and starts getting facial hair and he realizes he looks an awful lot like the UPS driver.
Opinions requested -- My wife and I are going on a big family trip to Jamaica in summer 2024. We will have a 12 month old at that time. There will be plenty of potential babysitters once we get to our destination but I'm worried about getting there and back. Is it possible to travel with a baby of that age and be on a 2-3 hour international flight without regretting it? Neither of us would do well with having a baby screaming and bothering everyone else on the flight and damn near no way to stop it. And I don't need someone seeking revenge decades later like occurs in this documentary.
i have been a dad for 7 years and my kids have never flown. I'd imagine it just depends on the kid. but at 12 months i would have a shit ton of snacks with an ipad playing Miss Rachel and hope for the best.
Yes. It's very possible. It's not the most enjoyable time. You're not going to sit back and watch a movie. We started flying with our son around 16 months. First flight was 4 hours. It's like controlling a wild bobcat in a 5'x2.5' enclosure. You've just got to constantly feed it, have toys and entertainment, books, etc. It'll probably be the most stressful flight of your life and lead to a greater understanding of the stress of parents flying with children.
In my experience the earlier the flight time, the better. 2-3 hours isn't bad, the closer to 2 the better. Like Snakes mentioned have all the snacks, new toys, iPad with their favorite shit. Take them on a walk up and down the aisle. I know some people have strong opinions on this but do your best to not give a fuck if your baby cries. Everyone knows its a possibility, they can bring headphones. Can't go through life praying every flight you don't get stuck next to a baby, fly prepared.
At this point going on an airplane raw dog with no airpods is a You problem. plug them in if a baby is getting on your nerves.
Have a 4 hour flight next month and I am definitely nervous with my 2 year old (evidence posted this morning). He is so quick to jump from one thing to the next and is capable of freaking out if you don't accomdate his request in .5 seconds. But I ain't letting that get in the way of my first week + long vacation in like 10 years.
2-3 hour flight with a 1 year old isn't too bad, probably depends on how much they're walking at that point and if they want to get up and walk around. A lot of the decent airports have a kids area you can let them play in before you get on your flight or during layovers.
I fly Southwest a lot. I got my son a Rapid Rewards account when he turned 2, or when I had to start paying for his flights. We fly a couple times a year with him - i.e. to see grandparents or go on vacation. I think he has several thousand Rapid Reward points but in a few years from now, those will start turning into him flying free.
Also do not give a single shit annoying strangers. Kids sometimes cry. Do your best to keep them busy and happy but sometimes you just lose.
100% this. Airpods, ear buds to your phone or the inflight entertainment. Barves2125 don't stress out about annoying others. that just stress you and momma out over shit people shouldn't give a fuck about or should have come prepared to deal with. I had a couple in front of me dealing with a crying baby for half a flight. Short flight too. They were stressing hard and arguing with each other, baby head butted the mom in the face. I really wanted to tell them not worry about anyone else that they were fine, but didn't want to be awkward. I barely heard the baby b/c I had earbuds in. You're gonna eventually have that bad flight. We flew back from Turks and our child screamed for probably 3.5 hours of a 4 our flight then slept the last 30 minutes. Shits rough, just do your best. We've had awesome trips with our little guy. Once you get past the flight it'll be great
