✏ Rules

  1. DO NOT DOXX YOUR KIDS - Seriously, use an alt for this comm or keep it vague; otherwise we’re centralizing info about everyone’s kids into a single place that can be easily focused on.
  2. No jokes about dead kids - I don't care how much the romanovs deserved it, or how right John Brown was, save it for another comm.
  3. No antinatalism struggle sessions

Besides a lot of the classic children's books (goodnight moon and stuff) I'm looking to get some left leaning children's books. Stuff with like a pro-union/anti-capitalist/anti-fascist slant. I'm also queer so LGBTQ children's books recommendations would be welcome, I didn't have anything like that when I was growing up and I probably would have appreciated it.

My kid just excitedly showed this to me. He’s learning real history at home, not American Exceptionalism propaganda that he gets in school.

“Where Is the Grand Canyon?” children’s book, part of the WhoHQ series of Who? What? Where?

Some of these books in that series are fairly open to presenting radical history. We’ve also got the Che, Nikola Tesla, The Underground Railroad books.

Everyone is really nice to me when I have my kid(s) alone. The guy at the corner store where I get my beer almost always gives a free candy bar, middle-aged women touch my arm and say "good job, dad".

My wife seemingly gets none of this, and if anything maybe some subtle judgement. Is this a universal experience?

My child is AMAB but isn't even old enough to talk let alone express an identity based on societal gender norms. That being said almost everyone we meet will refer to them with she/her pronouns until they hear the name which is typically male coded. More often than not they become very apologetic even though I don't really care at all. As I say to them "he doesn't seem to mind either way" with a smile.

This has me thinking, however, about how to handle this situation in a way that, when old enough to understand, shows my child that they get to decide how to be referred to, not other people.

Any thoughts or opinions?

My kid came to me this morning to ask about a video they found on YouTube. It offered FREE ROBUX!!!! in exchange for:

  • Installing Microsoft Edge.
  • Only using Bing! for searches.
  • Signing up for a Microsoft Rewards account.
  • Continue using this setup for five consecutive days.
  • Only available by signing up via this YouTuber's referral link.
  • None of which children under 13 can legally do on their own.

Cool exploitation, bro.

So I explained: even if this is a legitimate offer, that's five days of work for only $1.25! The people you're doing this work for will make a lot more than that! Those Robux aren't free—you're paying for them by working, and paying way more than they're worth! You should keep what you earn!

I had them clean up the bottles and cans in their and their sibling's room, and told them they can keep the full recycle value. I figure they'll probably pull in about 400 Robux for 10 to 15 minutes of work.

I don't have to clean, they learned a lesson. EZ mode Dadding on a Saturday morning. :sleepi:

Because once you have kids and they become mobile, it will be years before you get to take a private, undisturbed poop at home again.
