    Kid turned 1. What’s next?

    @stassit Just recently there were two studies released and the gist is that TV doesn't make kids stupid, but fat. https://news.osu.edu/screen-time-not-harmful-for-academic-skills-of-preschoolers/...

    @zbigniew This, it still shapes them as a person

    I just survived six days camping with my daughter (7)!

    @childofgod881 We actually produce less testosterone when becoming a dad and they don't bounce all the way back up after. https://www.nct.org.uk/life-parent/bonding-and-caring-for-your-baby/science-behind-dads

    Husband has concerns over Covid vaccine

    @serenity777 That's a very good indicator, lol. And yeah, who would have thought that anger can be such a drug?

    Husband has concerns over Covid vaccine

    @serenity777 Oh yeah, I am guilty as well. There was a couple of weeks in 2009 or so, after watching "Zeitgeist" where I had some wild ideas. Thankfully I came back. But it makes me appreciate how easy it is to fall for the right wing rage trap. Glad you turned the corner. I think a lot of what...

    Husband has concerns over Covid vaccine

    @serenity777 I don't know what other issues bubbled up along with the vaccine skepticism. (Which, honestly is warranted until you get enough information to make a sound decision) I do really appreciate that my wife and I are on the same page with these thing. But just to say, we all have our...

    Husband has concerns over Covid vaccine

    @serenity777 I hear you, I get it. But yeah, the summary is, the vaccine is always safer than the disease and you can't dodge covid forever. You have to change the framing from "is the vaccine safe?" to "is it safer than the disease?". Nothing you put into your body that usually doesn't go...

    I’m at a loss with my 7 year old

    @tylerfrench Japanese society is also special in some regards. And adults. And in a work environment. I am not saying she should smash cars. My point is instead of trying to inhibit the behaviour, try to direct it.

    I’m at a loss with my 7 year old

    @ericthesinner Is there a way/place where you can encourage misbehaving/letting it out? Reading /@richardy I thought of these places where you can go and smash cars. If she is behaving all the time and feels safe at home to act out, maybe you can direct the outlet into something less constructive?

    Should I leave my wife with a 2-mo old for a week?

    @animator911 Your priorities will shift. It will disrupt your life in a lot of ways. And that's a good thing. It's the most taxing, exhausting thing, but worth it. I was also struggling for the first year or so. You can't go out and have "fun". But it'll all come back, just different (and not...

    Should I leave my wife with a 2-mo old for a week?

    @younglite Seriously. This isn't mend in a bad way at all. 2 months in, you will not be able and hopefully wanting to. Look at that again in a couple of years.
