I just don't want to be the number one reason they're in therapy as an adult.

My 2 yr old peed on two of her daycare teachers today (so far), so your last line made me laugh out loud.

 

The Daily: The Parents Aren't Alright - Link

My crummy tl;dr - Intensive parenting and social media parenting shit making us feel guilty for everything. Previous generations parenting was going about life with the kid doing whatever on their own. Now we are on the floor with them always in their business thinking and preparing ten steps ahead

I'm curious what parents of kids 5+ think of this. At one point in the podcast, someone says, "Bigger kids, bigger problems is what they say. It becomes less physically demanding, but it’s more mentally demanding."

My kids are 4 and under, so I'm definitely in a phase where they are physically demanding.

I think that's why you'd be hard pressed to find Daria in its original form too: music licensing.

She basically died because she told the doctors she had taken miso. At this point she absolutely needed a D&C but because Georgia law said that's bAd, doctors risked losing their licenses to help her. And by the time they were going to, it was too late.

But hey, it was a woman who died, and she was black, so definitely not the kind of person they care about.

Ugh. So disgusting.

..... My FIL just asked me if this is actually true.

Yes, FIL. I wanted to ask him how much he even helps, because sitting on his phone in my living room watching sports commentary videos every week isn't contributing positively to my kids' lives.

It probably does help to quantify, though I suspect all the numbers in the world wouldn't change some minds.

Man, did they really need a study for this?? Seems pretty obvious but I guess not.

Let's see, what are points of stress? Costs of living, raising children, time...

Yikes, nobody needs that kind of scramble at the last minute.

Ohhh ok. I don't think the vinegar odor would linger despite not really being able to rinse it out.

 

Do folks here have school age kids? Curious about parenting struggles and how issues have been resolved.
