The revolution the feeds the children gets my support!

✏ Rules

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. No antinatalism struggle sessions

These answers are funny. And yes, the real true answer is after a billion years.

The less cool answer is that it’s a great opportunity to talk to your kids about bodily autonomy. You’re in control of how you want your body to look, same as your child. Obviously don’t say, “Well this makeup is trash. SEE YA! wipe wipe wipe” Maybe talk about what you like and what you don’t.

But remember that the actual answer is that you’re not allowed to wash it off.
