polyester concept posted:I think about this often. Not just with kids, but especially with kids because they get bigger so fast. There's always a last time you'll do something with them and in the moment you never realize it's the very last time. Holding them on your shoulders, buckling them in the car seat, all those little daily rituals that you don't think about. imo with kids it keeps getting better until about 11 ish, the golden age being between 9-11 or so (obv this all varies a lot) like you might not buckle them in but you can have better convos for example then around middle school age they start independence, they realise you're a flawed human being. they say stuff like "thats such a dad thing to do"  and by this stage youre a decade older, your hair is grey and you smell like old cheese (maybe)

They will forever demand that you carry them to bed, and you must, for as they grow, so too does the armory built into your arms. Let your guns grow large and powerful.

Votskomit posted:What a blessing to live walking distance from a daycare. I hope it works out. get this: I live walking distance from two daycares, and one kid goes to each  anyway I tried to make him walk this morning and we got most of the way there! Most of the time he walked behind me while crying and holding both hands in the air saying "Carry me carry me". I was very proud.

there are lots of ways to deal with requests (/demands) that you don’t want to fulfill for your kids and what will work depends on your kid and the situation; it helps to talk with other parents because there are a TREMENDOUS number of potential tactics and kids and situations change as they age. Also at a values level there are different things you can be aiming for. I usually prefer aiming for something that will get the kid unstuck and involved in whatever comes after the request. If it’s something where I want to build up an expectation that they can and should do it themselves, I do part of it and ask them to do the rest (these two parts are usually simultaneous) while trying to set a positive emotional tone. My son complains about being tired when we have to walk places; my evolution of tactics: - pick him up and carry him while doing something goofy to cheer him up, then set him back down to walk on his own after 2 or 3 minutes as he got older, heavier, more verbal: - ask him if he would like to {be picked up, ride on shoulders, w/e} for {a block, 3 minutes, w/e}, get his positive agreement to it + sometimes bring up “and after you’re going to walk on your own, right?” today - try to engage him in talking about other things, offer to swing him along on my arm 2 or 3 times, then he just started talking about other stuff with me and his sister and stopped protesting about being tired

yeah, big diff between being tired and being weary. the latter can be shaken off a lot faster with a little context change

so far 2 of my 3 kids are lefties, and the 9mo seems to favour her left when grabbing stuff. I’m kind of surprised since I thought left handedness was relatively rare. I learned how to write with my right hand and was the only lefty in my classes until uni

I learned how to write with my right hand and was the only lefty in my classes until uni It is rare across the population, but because there is a genetic component to it the odds are higher within a family with a propensity for left-handedness to have another left-handed kid. But the odds are still lowish. It's like moving from a 10% chance of being left-handed to a 30% chance.

I sent my kids to preschool. What a ripoff. 26k a year, impossible to actually pay. Years later, my sister ends up working at the school as a teacher. Her salary, well, like all teachers she gets paid nothing. What a ripoff. Then I go look up the school on propublica, and as a nonprofit the highest paid salaries are right there for all to see. Only two people on staff make above 50k. What the gently caress? How is everyone getting ripped off here? except for the kids. they loved preschool.

yeah. my wife worked at a high-end preschool for like 15 years, when she quit she was making like $18/hr. we couldn't afford to send our kids to the preschool she worked at, even with the 50% employee discount lmao they at least had a lower-tier branch of preschools that were still very good and we could afford (but only because of that employee discount), but yeah. it's not a great situation.

i'm not looking forwards to my boy's first sickness. we've managed to dodge anything so far but that can only last so long. i think it's been like 3 or 4 years since i was last sick, hopefully my immune system hasn't atrophied in the mean time.

Our little one did most of preschool through various covid bullshit and let me tell you HEPA filters at home make a massive difference. She'd come home with sniffles (couple times full on fever) and she rarely infected another person.
