- 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

I’ve heard toddlers struggle with understanding negatives. So instead of “Don’t out your hand in the toilet” say something like “We put our hands in the sink” or “Poop how in the potty.”
Our first kid responded ehhh alright to this framing, but our second likes to push boundaries too. Maybe it’ll work you all though.
I've heard similar, and we do try that approach. Sometimes it feels like I'm trying to instantly come up with something to re-direct them to, for example "feet on the ground" whenever she starts climbing on the table.
