My wife and I are expecting our first kid in a few months and as I'm getting more serious about shopping I gotta ask, is there a secret code word to use for "Stuff that isn't covered in lace and bows but also isn't Tacticool chud poo poo" when it comes to looking for diaper bags and carriers and stuff like that?  This should not exist.

Probably you got to make sure that google thinks you're a lady, because I just went to google the names of the baby carriers we used (baby bjorn and ergo) and the first result was the exact same picture you posted. That being said, making it so the bullets have to go through the plate and then the baby adds an additional layer of protection for you, so it's not the worst idea... I preferred the baby bjorn but my wife preferred the ergo.

the ergo owns. we used it with both of our kids until they were 2. for diaper bags we just used a Filson bag we already had and then when we needed to switch for portability reasons we used a black nylon Patagonia bag that stuffed into its own pouch when it was empty.

Sharks Eat Bear posted:Recommendation for all C-SPAM parents: get your kids hooked on traditional folk music! Folk music is as anti-capitalist as it gets, both in terms of the context in which it's created, and the subject matter of lots of the music itself. And so much of it is geared towards kids. yeah, we're sticking to folk so far. "children's music" seems pretty horrendous. the stuff that pops up on youtube or spotify or whatever is positively vomitrocious. raffi deep cuts are good. he also has some nice covers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSNkeA2z8aA guy's kind of a lib, but he seems decent enough.

Don't buy one yet, I should have a spare in a few months I can send to you

Ironically I used a spare range bag as a diaper bag since I am cheap and it had a shitload of pockets. (before everyone starts screaming at me, it had never been used for it's intended purpose, I just have a problem where I buy wayyyy too much gear)

On shorter trips I just loaded up some cargo shorts instead of carrying a bag, maybe there’s a legit use for TACTICAL PANTS.

i don’t really care if raffi is ultimately a lib, his music is great and he seems like a genuinely nice person so that’s good enough for me on the other hand, getting into a huge debate about raffi’s libness would be pretty epic, so... Tzen posted:I knew about Pete Seeger but only of Which Side Are You On and never dived into anything else from him. poo poo never thought to listen to union/labor/left artists or even folks songs with my kids at all. Usually my K-aged kid is singing along with me to deep house / techno / electronica / etc but yesterday we took a drive and listened to the songs you mentioned and others I knew. loving a man we had a blast. We ended up listening to Froggie Went A-Courtin' and Abiyoyo several times. i'm definitely going to be adding these to the mix as well as others hell yeah! thanks for sharing, that brought a smile to my face

What the gently caress my 9-month-old went from "can kind of crawl, slowly" to "crawls faster than you can track her" to "cruising, also getting her first tooth because why not" in less than a week Babies are insane, they like need to chill a bit

Hey, what good kids shows or kid-friendly animes feature LGBT characters? My 9-year-old has noticed the near-complete absence of LGBT anything in most media and is getting pretty upset about it. e: gonna ask in the LGBT thread too

man it's so awesome, between all the smiles and giggles and poo poo, she's noticing the cats, is now reaching out and grabbing stuff (ever so slowly) and exploring more with her hands/mouth in general she's a trooper at night still, aside from a few hiccups here and there, so it's gonna suck when she hits that next regression

That show is seriously hosed by 2021 standards.

Good soup! posted:man it's so awesome, between all the smiles and giggles and poo poo, she's noticing the cats, is now reaching out and grabbing stuff (ever so slowly) and exploring more with her hands/mouth in general one part of me is living vicariously through you and is really enjoying these happy posts of yours  another part of me is chuckling to itself, thinking about how the bolded part you're celebrating becomes a nightmare once your kid learns to move and instantly transforms into a small mobile suicide machine

U-DO Burger posted:a small mobile suicide machine This is such a fantastic description of what kids are. When my oldest was around 14 months a baby bird fell out of a nest so I got a ladder and we made a big deal of getting the bird back into the nest and I literally turned my back for five seconds afterwards and she was all the way up the ladder. She had never seen a ladder before and was still somewhat janky when it came to walking but she just flew up this ladder. Looking at photos from even just 3 years ago I have aged so much.
