- 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.
- 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.
- No antinatalism struggle sessions

My kid used to constantly keep a pacifier, and abruptly stopped after a month or two of starting daycare when she was about 2.
I never had one, and sucked my thumb until I was like 5 lmao. Some contrasts in my family, I guess.
I wonder if socialization/seeing peers drop these behaviors plays a role in it.
