i just don't tell my kid about deleting internet browsing history and check his phone every once in a while. if I see something weird or porn-y one day i'll just talk to him about it then again I had a computer in my room when i was 12 and watched a lot of porn. it was just a bit harder to get to than it is today

so, we moved to a new place with my girlfriend and her two kids 3 weeks ago our life has been a living hell ever since. why? because our downstairs neighbor is batshit crazy. over the course of 3 weeks she has: - threatened to call the cops on us for "making noise" on the second day - threatened to call cps and actually wrote them a letter saying our kids were abandonned, living in physical and psychological violence, ammoral conditions (think watching porn with the kids) - insulted, threatened and harassed us, writing to me and my so over messenger so, poo poo is hosed. we already filed a criminal complaint to the police and have written 2 letters to the property management company, saying we are consigning our rent until they get rid of the problem. we also plan to ask for money for the psychological harm she has caused us, and all the time I've spent writing letters and making calls. got in touch with the previous renter who told me he left because of that loving bitch, they didn't tell us anything or do jack poo poo i am so glad that my best friend has a master's in law and is a licensed property manager i just want to vent here because we've been going through difficult times. now that cps is involved we'll likely have to defend ourselves for no loving reason at all, and pretty sure the kids will be scared they will be taking their mom away how can a person be so awful and evil? it drives me crazy. and the law in switzerland is heavily biased towards people like her who get money from the government, and makes it really hard to kick them the gently caress out

remember my crazy neighbor story? well, yesterday she started screaming and hitting the walls and poo poo, so i called the cops. she went on the roof, and after a couple hours of screaming and throwing poo poo, she fell to her death. i feel pretty awful. that's not how i wanted this to end

my girlfriend is now deadly afraid of what crazy neighbor's 16-year old son is capable of doing... revenge, who knows... i just can't even process what happened and she's already telling me changing cities was the biggest mistake of her life, she wants to move ASAP, etc. this isn't e/n and what the gently caress am I expecting from a dead gay forum? but I just feel completely stuck.

girlfriend just got the green light from her rheumatologist to conceive. time to get busy! how did you all deal with the expectation of the sex of the baby? i can't help but want a little baby girl, but i know the odds are more or less 50/50, and I'm worried I'll be disappointed if it's a boy (we have 2 boys already). does that make me a bad person? go play outside Skyler fucked around with this message at 22:35 on Jan 7, 2022 |

what is the difference between a 300$ stroller and a 1000$ stroller? my so really likes the 300$ one because it's light and compact, but seeing the prices of all the other strollers makes me suspicious that it might be really low quality. except stupid poo poo like bigger wheels and leather grips i honestly don't see much of a difference. the prices i'm mentioning are all including the 3 different parts (bed, seat, car seat).

thanks for all the advice and opinions. we got the 300$ one since we don't plan to go jogging in the mountain with our baby and i went back to the shop to try folding it with one hand and succeeded. for anyone interested, it's this: https://www.manor.ch/de/p/10000478179?gclid=Cj0KCQjwl92XBhC7ARIsAHLl9ank_4m511X9mPAYku2hm5ZKauQCSZSgIw18th-6nl8Kr_6s3vqKuWYaAlYlEALw_wcB both salespeople told us that they were really good value and actually recommended against buying a more expensive one.

I don't believe him though pre-puberty is a hell of a phase. mine is 11 also and he takes absolutely everything as criticism. he's the world's most misunderstood and the biggest victim. forget people dying in ukraine! ask him to finish his plate?

Stringent posted:something that's been bugging me is that my kids (10 & 7), watch a shitload of youtube now (@2-3 hours a day). i have the same problem and i can finally say i found a satisfying solution if you have iphones, use screen time to limit the amount of time on each app. i think youtube is better than tiktok so i limit their tiktok time to 20 minutes a day. gently caress that poo poo. during the week, they get 1.5h of screen time per day on mondays, tuesdays and thursdays. here in switzerland wednesday afternoons are off so they get a free pass. they first need to show me that they did their homework, and do something else until 1.5h before bedtime. then they can use screens. these rules are not enforced by screen time btw, just good old parenting. oh and video games are only on "allowed days". honestly i'd much rather they watch tv than spend time on youtube. i feel like public broadcasters are doing a better job at "keeping kids safe" than youtube. ever since i did that, they started going out with friends, playing outside, etc, a lot more. it's made a huge difference. also, one of them plays soccer and the other is in the boy scouts. this keeps them busy on saturdays though it does take me a bit of effort to go with them to games or bring them some other place. it does take a bit of effort but as a parent it's super rewarding to tell yourself you're doing something good. sundays are basically free-for-all. sometimes i wanna be lazy and not do poo poo, so they get to do the same thing. sometimes we'll go as a family some place nice. i think we also need to accept that the times, they are a-changing, and that now kids like endless scrolling through short format vertical video. at their age i was spending a lot of time on pokémon websites and in front of the tv. to be honest i was exposed to porn and horrible poo poo at like, 12, and that doesn't make me such a bad person. in the end i feel it's about creating an environment of caring about what they are doing and encouraging good, creative behavior. go play outside Skyler fucked around with this message at 07:00 on Sep 28, 2022 |

friendly advice to future parents in this thread: make sure people who come to visit your newborn baby wash and disinfect their hands properly. our 14-day old got the RSV virus and is now in the hospital. apparently no risk to her life but this is still the most anxious i've ever been i did not expect i would miss the crying and gooking after just one night without my little anne

baby is now on oxygen since last night. her breathing keeps getting worse. now we are feeding her through a tube. the good side of this is that my SO could finally go home and sleep properly, since she can now just pull milk out and i can give it to her. i am scared shitless to see my little baby girl with a breathing apparatus and am worried they need to transfer her to a beefier hospital to put on a beefier machine

thanks for all the support everyone didn't want to jinx it but now i can say that she's getting much better since yesterday. they are slowly reducing her oxygen and letting her eat directly from the breasts again. if everything goes well tomorrow or monday we are out of course the doctors have been reassuring the whole time and even if i know RSV has basically a mortality rate of 0 in developed countries, there's always that thought floating around... i can't believe how much i miss having my infant daughter sleeping on my chest. man that's the best feeling ever

baby girl was fine until 4 days ago now she's got colics or something because she cries for 4 hours non-stop in the evening. only thing that works to calm her down is to carry her and move her up and down like in some kind of amusement ride. this is very exhausting any other ideas?

absolutely random but if your baby won't stop crying what has worked for ours is white/pink noise and a bouncy hamac. unless she's really hungry or her tummy is hurting, that poo poo works every time... and it requires so little effort. after 10 minutes of slightly bouncing up and down with noise she's asleep. there's even a control center thing on iOS that allows you to generate different kinds of noises, ocean sounds, etc here is the hamac we have. it's amazing. all i had to do was screw a hook on the ceiling and tie some rope. sorry for the swiss e-commerce site but i'm sure you can find this brand anywhere. be sure to get the optional spring for it: https://www.galaxus.ch/de/s10/produ...cB&gclsrc=aw.ds i am happy to hear your theories on why rocking babies up and down and white noise works so well to calm them down go play outside Skyler fucked around with this message at 00:12 on Dec 10, 2022 |

bagging and washing aren't useful because iirc head lice don't survive long without a human host. get a proper head lice shampoo with the super thin brush. brush the poo poo out of your kids' hair with it. you'll see lice trapped in there (it's gross af). repeat the treatment a few days later (read the package instructions) and you're good.

Kernel Sanders posted:help yospos! my 10-year old just said “two girls one cup” and i don’t know what/if I should do anything. he said it in a weird rhyming rhythm so maybe he heard it in a song? he watches a few gaming youtubers but we try and vet what he watches to get rid of the worst rabble. have you considered the fact that as long as he has access to the internet and the knowledge such a video exists, he will see it? no matter what you try and block or firewall off, he will eventually end up at a friends house and watch it. my philosophy on this is to make sure your kid feels okay to talk to you about what he sees without judgement. humans have sex. some like poop. it's part of life.
