If my oldest (7) makes it downstairs first in the morning he turns on the nhl streaming app and just watches whatever highlights from last season. He could watch the same ones every day.
My daughter just watches Youtube princess stuff and annoying Roblox commentators that never seen to take a second to breath. =/
My son (8 in 4 days) hates watching sports. Praying he’ll get into it one day. He’s slowly come around on playing soccer and now really enjoys it, so one thing at a time.
Neither of my boys (5&8) watch sports with me. I always have things on my laptop of phone and they will pop by and check it out, but max is usually 5 minutes. my oldest LOVES playing sports though. He’s always outside running around and playing soccer. When I take him to his travel team practices, all the other kids are talking about watching games and their favorite players etc. my son has no idea who any of them are. That bummed me out at first but he clearly doesn’t care and now I kinda like it that he’s just focusing on being him and doing his own thing.
So I’m helping my kid study classifications tonight. You all learned it like KPCOFGS with whatever phonemic device, right? I’m looking at his homework and it has DOMAIN above Kingdom? When the fuck was that decided? When those fuckers invented the Southern Ocean?
The Domain taxonomy separates out archaea that evolved billions of years ago around the same time as bacteria.
Well they didn’t bother with that shit when I was in school in the mid-90s. And they sure as shit hadn’t invented the Southern Ocean then.
first kid i did sleep training while mom was in hospital getting operations done at about 4-6 weeks. She fucked it up the first week back, but I got her to realize I had it made. It really depends on how the kid is eating during day/nighttime. Second kid is still an ornery bitch and wont sleep through the night without us going up there even though shes 20 months old. First kid was trained by 8-9 months besides the developmental regressions.
Don't think that's the correct way to phrase it. Maybe I should say our application of the scientific method is a never ending process.
Sounds like liberal fake science. Just like we called it global warming, then you know what? The earth started to cool and we now call it Climate Change. How bout that? Nuclear weapons? That's the biggest risk to our climate...those go off and it's gonna get reaaaal hot
Start trying to sleep train rather than regularly cosleeping imo but your kid is still pretty young. I’ve coslept but as an occasional necessity. My oldest was a shitty sleeper so I can sympathize.
It's obviously very aggressive. Had a buddy swear by it, but his first kid was just a unicorn child. His second kid it did not go well and their plan of 5 kids stopped there at 2. Most of it just depends on the baby. Taking CARA Babies was the most beneficial for us but at this point I can't even remember what we did.
Been too comfortable cussing around my youngest. This morning talking to my wife about him I said he's been a fucking animal if he doesn't nap and he immediately snaps his head "whats a fuckin animal?"
Just showed my four year old the sandlot for the first time. All of the kids other than Benny the Jet and Smalls are absolute shitheads.
I've had to do a LOT of work replacing my vocabulary "fudge" for "fuck" and "poop" for "shit." By the time my daughter was about three and a half I remember her starting to yell "FUCKING SHIT" out loud for no reason.
My son at like 2 dropped a perfect "God Dammit" in front of my MIL and SIL (both very religious) it was great
My wife said “I’m about to lose my shit” and my five year old just said “shit” right after. Was very funny.
Homecoming week and it was boys v girls. Supposed to be just rolling trees but apparently they had to roll out the entire police force. Whole neighborhoods getting rolled, egged, girls were arrested spray painting driveways, keying cars and putting bloody tampons all over yards. Don’t know how to post video but it was apparently wild.
I finally got so tired of hearing “Mom! Dad! Someone come wipe my butttt!!!” that I taught the little dude to use the bidet a couple days ago. He took right to it. Game changer
Mini Delta is leading her JV softball team in batting average at .600, has zero strike outs on the season, and has no errors at second base all season. Varsity second baseman had 6 errors this week and is batting .172. Apparently the varsity coach (who I used to baby sit) is an absolute twat who has taken a personal dislike to Mini Delta and so there’s basically no chance of her playing up this season. It’s very frustrating.
Wife has been gone since last Friday morning. Home in 30 minutes. I’ve never looked more forward to checking out for 48 hours.
I hate the cosleeping too, but we really have done it out of desperation. We were sleeping shifts holding him all night, because he literally will not sleep more than 45 minutes independently. We ended up falling asleep a few times holding him, which is way more dangerous than cosleeping imo. I want to sleep train ASAP, but we were told 16 weeks is the earliest we should try from our pediatrician.
Went to change the 20 month old's diaper the other day, and it was filled with way more shit than I was anticipating, to which I exclaimed "oh fuck." Kid said fuck a solid 10 times in a row immediately after. Mom was not as amused as I was.
Kid has seen soccer shots practice a few times, so we decided to try soccer. 1st practice went great where he refused to participate and join the activities. Stood off by himself for 25 minutes as I encouraged him to go play, then we left. Looking forward to this activity every week for the next 8 weeks and a well spent $250
My 2.5 yo is napping on me snoring the walls down and my pregnant wife is on the couch ripping farts that would make a grown ass man proud
