- DO NOT DOXX YOUR KIDS - Seriously, use an alt for this comm or keep it vague; otherwise we’re centralizing info about everyone’s kids into a single place that can be easily focused on.
- No jokes about dead kids - I don't care how much the romanovs deserved it, or how right John Brown was, save it for another comm.
- No antinatalism struggle sessions

Cocomelon and Paw Patrol are just not allowed in our house. 🤷
I would gladly take either over whatever dribble on YouTube captures my kids attention this week.
Our kids only look at YouTube with us on our own devices. They don't have devices they call their own and though I have an iPad I rarely use it.
I have a feeling that once they get the idea that the device is theirs or that they can have control over the device the interest level and attachment changes dramatically.
So I have very little interest in letting them get the idea these devices are theirs to use at all. I also know that once my oldest moves up to kindergarten she's going to be getting a lot more 1 on 1 time with an iPad.
