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.

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

I'm trying to include my preschooler in some small household things or at least explain why I'm doing some odd thing she's never seen before.

"don't eat with your toes"

Kid was plucking food off her plate with her toes and eating. But hey, at least she was eating food that wasn't Goldfish.

How is this not a crappy article about a crappy PR?

Premium Duo is increasing by $2/month. The others are a $1/month increase.

Running out of ideas to entertain my toddler and preschooler. Help! One eats everything and the other is in full three-nager mode.

A friend of mine had a sign on her door that warned about a sleeping baby, please don't make noise and wake the baby!

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Support your wife. Do things without her asking (make meals, clean). Importantly, make sure she knows that you're experiencing grief as well, and that she isn't alone. Miscarriage is unfortunately more common than people realize. Please be gentle and kind with yourselves. It's OK to feel a rollercoaster of emotions.

One thing I did for the first few years after my losses was recognize them by lighting a candle for the wave of light: https://babyloss-awareness.org/wave-of-light/

Interesting. Weren't they working on a way to have a unified login for FB, IG, and Whatsapp at some point?

I delete the IG app periodically anyways (it's a time suck). Haven't put it back since Threads went live so not even sure what things are looking like anymore. I'm too old for this lol

Will "deleting" my Instagram account make a difference at all?

Haha I was just going to ask how long this tour has been going on because I'm pretty sure he was here several years ago on a "final farewell" tour.

My 3 year old just kicked me off the couch so she could invite her dad to come snuggle with her.

What are your kids up to?

I've been thinking about this for a few days. I want a place where parents can come talk about parenting with a group of peers to commiserate, seek advice, provide advice, etc.

Parents of all children of all ages are welcome.

Title says it all. I've built up communities before but that w as s before I had any children. I'd love some help here. Something about how it takes a village comes to mind. 😂

I want this to be a respectful place. If a child's health or safety is at risk, feel free to speak up. Respectfully.
