I have had kids repeat to me the horrible things they have heard trump say on TV, at school, on the radio, from friends - about women, Mexicans Muslims...etc. such a good roll model. 🙄
Mine asked what my favorite roundabout is. Now I know. I didn't before.
Me too, kids just makes everything more chill and fun. i wouldint be the man i am with em ;)
This is actually what I love about little kids. Their minds are not yet corrupted or controlled...
That's exactly what I think about all the times ! :) you see how they connect things and you say hey that's clever, I haven't thought about that!
Load More Replies...The kid's got a point, you know. I've delved so deep in the series(they are my personal favorite books) but this question still remains an enigma to me. Wizards can fix broken bones and teeth in seconds, remove the effects of horrible poisons, etc. But fixing eyes must be a blind spot to them in all senses of words. :)
My opinion is that they can't cure stuff that you were born with. They can only fix injuries.

She will do it in front of his friends, obviously (remind that fact, not poop...).
i still try to memorize all the embarassing stuff he do as a kid to throw it in his face when he'll come home with his first girlfriend.
To me I don't think that sounds like very good parenting. As a parent you should understand that your child is going to do things that are less normal than what an adult would do, and let them just be kids and not use it as fuel later. I would never in my life think of using something my kid that did that was "embarrassing" as fuel against them later that's a good way to get the day hate you and they'll be the ones picking your nursing home so respect your children

Yes! Kids notice EVERYTHING, and the very young will disclose personal details to anyone!

James Breakwell has 4 daughters between 2 and 7 years old. 😊
Load More Replies...You need to yell "I wonder where she is" every once in a while to make it more believable so that she won't come looking for you.
My 2 and 4 year old grandsons will play hide and seek too. They will bring you a blanket, count to 20 while you put the blanket over you. It's almost as good as "Tag You're It!" I sit on the couch and they run back and forth. As they run by they touch you and say Tag you're it! Every now and then I tag them. I'll miss these games when they figure out how they are really played!
....goes out in the garden, mows the lawn, washes the car, cleans the pool, has a rest and a beer. Wife comes home : "Where's the kid ?" "Ooops, forgot"....runs to the hiding spot : "There you aaarrre, good hiding spot baby. You win, you get to hide again....gogogo"
Why downvote me ? I have a kid myself. Thats not the way to handle this problem! Only if you dont care about your child or are an a*****e. its like letting it stand in the rain, sayin you'll get a umbrella but then you go play on your video console and let it stand in the rain. i dont get it.
Load More Replies...Me when somebody looks at my stuff, picks it up, is about to drop it
Our 3 year old son drew "people" on the wall with a black sharpie, and it took 7 coats of paint to get it covered up, and then, if you knew where to look, you could still see it.
That's because it's an equal partnership nobody should be a boss it should be shared 50/50

My 2.last Ex (but years ago) told me, that his Ex always told him, how cute he are when he sleep, that is unbelievable, that he can be such a monster when he's wake. I laughed hard. Until i realized, how serious this was. He was a narc... 😅
I would have too. And probably cried a muah and as hard as he did when I didn't get one.
I don't think Kjorn was referring to himself. My kid actually made the same remark out of the blue about his dad in a busy store
She forgot to add "at top volume, just as the noise around her goes quiet"
I knew a young mom once who said : Goddamned who's teaching my daughter to swear and curse ?
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt since I can tell English isn't your first language. I also think you're giving a general example. :)
Load More Replies...I don't understand fidget spinners as something to "help kids focus". In my experience it's just going to distract them.
People like me with ADHD need to do something with our hands a lot of the time, so fidget spinners do help a lot.
Load More Replies...I could understand if you could use the fidget spinners with 1 hand but you need both so how does that help with ADD & ADHD?
Dude, that's when we're using them for fun. With the ADHD moments we just use one hand. Not everyone uses 2.

When your kid can have an argument about it it doesn’t need a diaper anymore
My daughter once cried bc someone pooped in her underwear during the night. She's 20 now & my husband and I still joke about the "Poopy Fairy" to this day.
Just tell them that they can't have breakfast anymore. Then watch them eat it and fight you for it if necessary.
Load More Replies...What gets me is when they _deny_ that they EVER liked peaches or yogurt!!!
I have a cat....same thing (without the yoghurt and peaches of course).
And their new favorite thing for breakfast is the stuff they wouldn't eat last night which you threw away to save room in the fridge for food they would actually eat... ba dum dump Daah.
I'd be so irritated that I wouldn't even care. They'll eat what you gave them or they'll simply starve. I mean, I really don't understand much about kids' psychology, but everyone I know would do this if their kids acted like that.
There is a breaking point though, I remember being stubborn when I was a kid. I refused to eat anything for 2 days maybe more i don't remember no matter what it was it was gross, and I ended up very sick and on i.v. at 5 years old

My mother was very subdued (so was I) and told me she couldn´t keep every drawing, and that my new ones were so much better.
I told my son, the garbage man loved his drawings, I gave them to him
I kept all my kids drawings, I have bags of them stored in the cellar.

They're free up until you have to buy a pregnancy test and then it explodes from there.

My son refused to eat ham for years because it 'put air' in his mouth. Could never get a definitive answer what that meant. Strangely enough this was never an issue with the new 'cold pork slices' I started putting in his sandwiches XD

Unlock the door (most doors have an emergency button) to show them YOU have the power and then tell them they can stay in there until further notice!!!
Yeah, that was me. I don't have kids, so take it as you will. According to my mom, except for sleeping, I was so good (read: autistic), that she took me to the doctor to see if I was ok (40-some years ago, the answer was yes). Then came my sister. Quite a surprise for my parents. But she grew up into a cool adult.
Same thing. Both on the diagnosis, and going to the doctor. And the sister. Actually it's possible you're me in the future, now that I think of it. My mother remembers having to ask the pediatrician "Aren't they supposed to cry sometimes?"

My 6 mo old does that constantly! It'll be time to eat, I'll start making his food, he'll see that and start yelling what sounds like "NOW". When I sit in the chair and try and get him situated, he screams like a banshee until nipple hits mouth. And when he's really really tired, he'll lay in bed and yell "nite nite" at me (in the next room and in no way stopping him) until he tires himself out. I must get my 10k steps a day just from going to his crib every couple minutes to make sure he hasn't thrown up and try and convince him that is his bed, not red hot pokers...
Go camping, make them someone else’s problem 😎 I sometimes search for them to come eat..

Knocked-out-of-dream? Kuickened? There should be a word for waking up because your toddler is staring at you from a range of two inches as well.

I think that's why Lego includes duplicates of really small pieces in their sets nowadays.
If I have kids I'm going to say "if you don't eat the food I prepare, you can starve. I also prepare your ice cream and cookies. Therefor there are no loopholes"
I used to write " It took a lot longer to wake up than we had expected"
It should be physically impossible for a single Lego underfoot to be as painful as it feels, but worse still is the Lego only half stepped on.

I'll be honest: I'm that kid. Except I'm about to tell a joke, but the conversation changes subject before I could let loose, and my joke is no longer relevant.

Hm...this series leaves me with mixed feelings. I appreciate irony and even dark sarcasm, but also truly believe that having children is enriching.

I feel similarly. But I also feel like many of these parents may create problems for themselves by keeping their kids small or putting up with certain behaviour that wouldn't fly here. And I'm not even excessively strict or anything... I mean the worst punishment my kid ever got was being sent to her room for a few minutes! But I do believe it should be 'freedom within limits'.

My single mom with very little family assistance and four young kids (oldest 14, youngest 2) decided to get her Biomedical bachelor. In a different city. At 42. While managing a household. Now I'm not saying that Krypton exists, but I think me and my siblings might be adopted.
I'll be honest: I'm reading this from an outside point of view. My mother has told me quite a few times that I was the least problematic of her children. Sure, I had my bratty moments (Who hasn't?), but compared to my siblings and step-siblings, I was never a troublemaker. Still, she loved us all the same! :)

My single mom with very little family assistance and four young kids (oldest 14, youngest 2) decided to get her Biomedical bachelor. In a different city. At 42. While managing a household. Now I'm not saying that Krypton exists, but I think me and my siblings might be adopted.
I'll be honest: I'm reading this from an outside point of view. My mother has told me quite a few times that I was the least problematic of her children. Sure, I had my bratty moments (Who hasn't?), but compared to my siblings and step-siblings, I was never a troublemaker. Still, she loved us all the same! :)
