Yeah. Honestly, 99% of the time my kid is having a fit, it’s because he’s hungry. I never yell either. Never have and probably never will (barring seriously dangerous things that need to immediately stop).
After a couple months of feeding him when he’s upset, watching him calm down, apologizing if I angered him and then asking him if maybe he was so angry because he was really hungry, now he’ll actually tell me mid-fit that he’s really hungry. Or sleepy, scared, etc. Talking basic needs, not just hunger.
Honestly I’m really happy. The emotional maturity of a toddler that can recognize that in large part his anger is being hungry it’s pretty cool.
And then parents wonder why their children don’t talk about their private lives.
Not only would you have emotionally abused me. When the state protects me, you would have sued for the right to abuse me.
Fair point. I wonder if this is a conscious decision or if they are just weird. No judgement to larping. I’m weird too, just not violent.
What a time to be alive. Nazis wearing chainmail and bringing children to protest drag events. If I didn’t follow the news, I’m not sure I would be able to tell this wasn’t a LARP event.
Dear god. To be fair, at least these kinds of fascists make me laugh.
I shouldn’t laugh, but wtf. This is ridiculous.
Are there any neutral sources? Or at least more complete accountings? I only find Leif’s account and some transphobic accounts.
The only “facts” I could find are that Leif had an AR-15 and maced 2-4 people (depending on the account). The transphobic one says children were maced.
I’m just legitimately interested in what happened.
Yeah it seems to be a series of fallacies like,
Conservatives hate gays, so conservatives are bad. Conservatives love capitalism, so capitalism is bad. The west is mostly capitalistic, so I hate the west. The west sanction Iran and Russia, so they must be good.
I think it’s better to draw the line at hating controlling abusive people, rather than geopolitical boundaries.
There’s also the bizarre phenomena of “leftist” people who support Russia, Iran, etc.
I was on a date once (gay) and he would shit-talk the US, Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, etc. for being capitalistic. Then in the same breath, talk about how he wanted to go to Iran and Russia.
I honestly didn’t know what to say.
Here. I have lots of energy since the patriarchy can’t fuck me without being gay. Sadly it’s empty
Yeah. I was worried about the fighting against it thing. So far he seems to like speaking English, but just limited. I try to make it really cool that he speaks two languages. We also have a thing where he teaches me the local language and I teach him English, which is true since I’m not native in the local language.
Basically trying to balance pushing and being careful of being overbearing.
Yeah. I’ve tried to press that sometimes I don’t understand when he speaks the local language. It’s true because I used to not understand children in the local language, but I do now 🫣.
Honestly I think I need more non native friends with children.
Yeah. I did this unconsciously just to verify I understood since he’s a toddler. It did seem to help with comprehension. I just can’t get him to speak English 😅
Yeah I’ve been trying to do this. He definitely had this because he gets excited and surprised when people speak to him in English.
Yeah, I’ll do it in like a week
I’m going to introduce a bill that makes it so kids float if they fall off buildings.
Let’s see who’s physics defying politics wins first.
My experience is completely anecdotal, so may not apply. Your toddler is like 2.5 years. I found it hard around that age, but after calmly setting boundaries, explaining why and being open to negotiation, at around 3 it became super easy.
Tantrums for my kid are 99% of the time just because he’s hungry. I just explain this to him during and after the tantrum. Like “so you were really sad before, but after eating you’re happy now right? Do you think that would help next time you are sad?” Now he will sometimes tell me he’s just super hungry when he’s upset.
Other than playing with him which I enjoy, he’s like 70% in auto pilot.
Are you from one of those socialisms that I was told about growing up? I’m so glad you managed to find enough food to survive to adulthood.
“Under the terms of the bill, encrypted messaging apps would be obligated to check users’ messages for child sexual abuse material.”
Good job UK. You broke WhatsApp. Now try Signal or GPG. Oh no. Look. You can’t. Honestly, pure dumbfuckery.
I oppose child sex abuse, but banging your head against a wall will not solve it.
Fingerprint and pin code. They left the phone at a store nearby and I went to pick it up
