@hitmyspot@dadsplain I think that is kind of what we've been doing. I didn't know it was a named method. We don't force her to finish her meals completely. She just needs some encouragement to improve the vegetable variety in her diet.
Got field work, again, this morning - so about to run off to help folks find dirt to sample. No, that's not a metaphor, that's entirely literal. Then running to the elementary school cause it's time for picnic with parents.
Me, up the stairs: "Are you changed yet, do you want breakfast?"
Child A: "I didn't know if I should put pants or socks on next, so panicked and took my t-shirt off by accident, and am now I'm undressed again."
I watched the latest episode of Acapulco on AppleTV+ last night and they were talking about "old school" movie transitions like fades and wipes and I had to think really hard about those no longer being used due to technology. They are only used now to simulate the old effects.
This was the 32nd most popular girl's name in the U.S. in 2015, and then plummeted to rank 603, with parents in Germany even going to court in 2022 to have their daughter's name changed. The name, of course, is Alexa. Here, Parents.com looks at the children's names that are falling out of favor because of technology and pop culture.
But like so many parents & work from home spouses.... I'm apparently irreplaceable & I have MORE work & responsibilities today than on an average day. 😭
Oh the luxury to be able to "call in sick" and go back to bed. What does that even feel like??

And when I complain to my parents about it, they tell me that you don’t even get to retire…
Akimbo Attack: hits 4 different targets at the same time. Damage 1d6 each.
Compass of Comfort: toddler spins horizontally, with head and feet striking in cardinal directions. Some of those directions are the attending parent's chin, stomach, and private parts.
Rotisserie Escape: twisting out of restraints while twirling.
Projectile V: bonus action, ranged attack. Always catches the target flat-footed and prone.
Has anyone else watched The Americans and couldn't help themselves asking when do they sleep or why they're never tired at "work" after spending the night chasing or being chased, who takes care of their children at night, and whether they ever go to the beach, where they kids could see all their scars from so many injuries during fights?
@mdione wasn’t really aware of this series before, but I now see that this is critically acclaimed so I’m interested to watch it. 👍 (If I can find out where it can be streamed because it’s not on Netflix or Amazon Prime Video at least in my region.)
Parents can be better advocates and avoid common missteps when a child identifies as trans or nonbinary by first recognizing the child’s bravery and explicitly reminding them they’re loved
