@laura100 As a man I’ve never understood the bloodline/family name thing. 2 or 3 generations no one’s gonna remember you anyway, and you’ll be gone.

@pecosheero I’m currently battling the play by himself thing with the 5 year old. Really I’ve just had to put the foot down. If I ask him to go play by himself and he throws a fit he gets counted. If he still keeps doing it he gets counted again. And again. And then I refuse to do anything with...

@littledot Be selfish. Everyone should be selfish when it comes to their decision to have another child. Think about you. Think about your ability and desire to do it again. Think about if you want that or not. Sometimes you gotta be selfish. But if you don’t like the negative connotation…...

@fordking91 Yea honestly it’s our fault for conditioning him (turns 5 in a few weeks) early that screens were a regular option instead of letting him be bored and figuring it out so we’re fighting the fight now of trying to lessen screen time. We try to keep comfort in the fact that he goes to...

@magdalenab Taught my 4 year old to read at home. He started pre-k at 4 as well, but he is the only kid (to my knowledge) in his class that can read. So feel free to practice things at home any time!

@godslawismylaw First time I told my wife “go.” Some people were surprised. Some of her friends invited her out for a couple nights away, she was hesitant (understandably), but had to be like “I got this.” It wasn’t easy, but I’m a better man and parent for it. - Dad needs to be able to handle...

@godslawismylaw Let him into your world a little bit. Here’s your child, see you tomorrow. Good luck, have fun, and don’t ask me for help. Ultimately though as long as he respects your choice that’s what matters imo.

@slro Them everytime you even remotely complain: It will get better! It gets easier! Me: When?

@ababwaalijaz There were other things that pushed us to one and done, this was my rule before we even started having kids. My dad never played catch with me. Never played outside with me. Never got down on the ground and played with me. Things like that. My mom was the one working while I was...

@renette Didn’t set a timeline based on child’s age. Set one based on my own. I was an unexpected last child. My mom was 38 and my dad was 47. Hated it. So I promised myself that regardless of how many kids I had I wouldn’t have any after 35. Didn’t wanna be an old man to my kids.

@davesnothere We had considered taking an early trip just for the adults but knew with amout. We were spending we’d want him to enjoy some too. I think about 5 was the perfect age because he still believed some of the magic.

@danielson0101 I’ve always wondered in these situations is fostering/adopting not on the table at all? But that aside… grieve it. It’s a big shift in mentality to go from “we’re trying” to “we’re done” and especially being done with an outcome you didn’t necessarily want. It’s okay to not be...

@magdalenab Exactly. Like Indiana jones or Star Wars. Stuff that would have scared him or he simply said he didn’t want to do a couple of rides (we discovered he doesn’t like rides that aren’t outside. He doesn’t like being in the dark and having things that might jump at him)

I’ll also say the Disney folks seem to be very understanding about kiddos. There was more than once we had to exit the line for bathroom breaks with the child and they allowed one of us to not lose our spot

@magdalenab Sure! You book the lightning lane for you and your partner on the app, and when you go to scan in you let them know you need to rider swap. They’ll scan your lightning lane and then open up your park tickets and they’ll scan your partners park ticket and they scan it with their app...

3 days of Disneyland went relatively well. I’m not saying we couldn’t have done it if we had more than 1… but with how rider swap works I don’t think wife and I would have enjoyed it nearly as much if we had had more. We took our almost 5 year old to Disneyland and had a great time, and we...
