The revolution the feeds the children gets my support!
✏ Rules
- 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

The hand foot and mouth is tricky when you have more than one kid as they passed it between each other, but we should be clear now.
And I'm glad they enjoy the movies on their own terms. As much as I don't like the kidslop you get on Youtube and Netflix, I don't want to be the 'cool parent' that makes my kids watch what I like. We showed them those movies because they had genuine interest in the subject matter and it's their decision to watch them again. A single watch of those movies has grabbed their attention a lot more than the kids TV shows they've watched. Like they've only seen Terminator 2 all the way through once and they still talk about how the bad liquid robot ended up in the lava.
