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

Took the kids out on their pedal bikes over the break and they actually started pedalling for themselves. It's great to see after trying for so long. Now we just have the challenge that they want to ride their balance bikes still because they're faster

Managed to avoid a "I'm not tired" tantrum by tricking the kiddo into running some dolls through our bed time routine yesterday lol. Maybe getting someone ready for bed is just naturally exhausting lukashenko-tired

This is so smart.

Feeling the evening start to teeter into chaos really gets the creative pre-panic thinking going lol

Asking me a question then asking me "why did you say that?" When i answer the question is a really good bit but it is getting way overdone

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I frequently get stuck in the loop of question -> I answer -> 2 minutes later -> kiddo gives me a "did you know" with the same answer I just provided.

I love that tbh

Baby Beaver is pooping in the bathtub RIGHT NOW, AAAAAHH

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh noooo! That's the worst!

[–] Beaver@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago

We held her over the toilet to see if anymore came out. Unexpected start to potty training!

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago

Its Wednesday my dudes!

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My dude said "I have to pee!!" While getting a bath and held it while I got him on the potty, TWICE! That's awesome progress.

[–] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

We've been doing more potty training recently before they move up a class in childcare and we've had a couple of nights of dry nappies in the morning

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 1 points 19 hours ago

That's a good sign!
